I took a ride in a limousine, I took a road I'd never been. I met a stranger by the way, His coat was torn but his eyes were clear. Standing in a slide zone, Steppin' in a slide zone. He told me where a river flows, He showed me how the apple grows. He told me of a magic stream, His face was worn but his eyes were clear. Standing in a slide zone, I could be steppin' in a slide zone. Standing in a slide zone, I could be steppin' through a time zone. He went to find a shooting star, Around the bend, that's where they are. I went along just for the ride, Suddenly I began to slide. Standing in a slide zone, I could be steppin' through a time zone. The air raced by there was no sound, We drifted high above the ground. And then he said you know this place, And then a smile lit up his face. Standing in a slide zone, I could be steppin' in a slide zone. Standing in a slide zone, I could be steppin' through a time zone. I turned my head and I looked below, Slide zone... And there was something there I know. Suddenly I began to fall, I looked around and tried to call. Standing in a slide zone, He had me steppin' in a time zone. Standing in a slide zone, Falling through a time zone. Help me please, I thought I said, Then something happened in my head. Music came from all around, And I knew what I had found. Standing in a slide zone, Falling through a time zone. Steppin' in a slide zone, He had me falling through a time zone. Slide zone, slide zone, Slide zone, time zone
The dawn crept into by room And stole my dream Now I'll never know Just what it means Or what could have been Yet still I try to lie But I'm seen
Under moonshine that's where I've been Under moonshine I'm clearly seen Under moonshine that's where I've been Under moonshine I'm clearly seen
Creator of dreams that melt with the sun I'll send you the things this man has done He was a saint and a sinner rolled in one But I miss now that he's gone I sure miss him now that he's gone
Sure I feel the pain Deep inside I pour like rain Remember when you smile Love's in your eyes
The world keeps turning The grass still grows green The fruit on my tree Is the biggest you've ever seen Which way up you know when you're down They've gotta stand tall With your feet on the ground You must stand tall With your feet on the ground
Or maybe I'm crazy Also they say I'm lazy But I'll have my days When I do as I please For you won't see the woods While you're a tree No you'll never see the woods While you're a tree
Yes I'm crazy Also they say I'm lazy But I'll have my days When I do as I please You won't see the woods While you're a tree No you'll never see the woods While you're a tree
Little guy, little hands, little eyes and lots of time What you gonna be what you gonna see When your eyes are level with mine
I'll be level with you I don't know what I would do If I had to face the things that you've got coming down the line
Lots of luck, lots of health, lots of wealth, little pain That's what I want for you but there's little I can do To put you on the gravy train
I'll be level with you You'll always end up coming through But you'll find yourself lost in space now and again
But you have to have a world you can live in Not a world where all the hope is gone And as long as we are here together We must build a home for the free
Filled with pity Not pain That's loving and sane Not divided by hate And living in spite 'Til it's too late
Life is here Love will come in the end give it time There's wonders still to do and I know you'll find it's true That yours will be bigger than mine
I'll be level with you The one thing I hope you will do is tell me about what You're doing from time to time
Just like the driftwood of a dream Left of the seashore of sleep Just like the words that wouldn't rhyme Lost in the desert of time Time waits for no one at all No, not even you You thought you'd seen it all before You really thought you knew
I don't remember what was said In the confusion that night I only know what's on my mind What's in the future we will decide Time waits for no one at all No, not even you You thought you'd seen it all before You really thought you knew
I've shattered the illusion Of fortune and of fame But darling now I know you Life could never be the same Oh no... don't leave me driftwood On the shore
Time waits for no one my love No, not even you You thought you'd seen it all before You really thought you knew
I've shattered the illusion Of forture and of fame I'm waking up I'm reaching up I'm getting up from this game Oh no... don't leave me driftwood On the shore Oh no... don't, don't leave me driftwood On the shore...
Rain on the river turns the torrent to a flood Swim or you'll never rise above Two lonely people can mend a broken heart Love and you'll never fall apart But can you tell me why?
They made a good bowl of chili at the jazz club They played a good game of football in Mucron They ripped everyone off at the top rank, babe If you could ever get into their suite
Avenue, Tombola and Social We just drove right on by We was on our way to the big time, babe To the great gold record in the sky
Sun in the morning brings the flowers from a bud Hail to the giver, life and love Two lonely people can mend a broken heart Love and you'll never fall apart But can you tell me why?
They made a good bowl of chili at the jazz club They played a good game of football in Mucron They ripped everyone off at the top rank, babe If you could ever get into their suite
Avenue, Tombola and Social We just drove right on by We was on our way to the big time, babe To the great gold record in the sky
Can you tell me why? Can you tell me, tell me why?
Here I go again Finding it so hard to explain The way I feel when I hold you near Still it hurts when you cry Maybe you think love has passed you by Don't you know I need you so But I guess you need to know
I'm just a man, that's all I am I'm just a man, that's yours I'm yours you know I'm yours
Life keeps changing key I'll look to you please look back at me See I'm changing every day Reaching out for happy days
But I'm just a man that's all I am I'm just a man I'm yours I'm simply yours
Life keeps changing key I'll look to you please turn and look at me You'll see I'm changing every day In my search for happy days
But then I'm just a man That's all I am I'm just a man I'm yours That's yours, simply yours
See me as I am, for I'm just a man I'm just a man but I'm yours Oh I'm yours I'm simply yours
People walking Passing me by Shadows of dreams falling out of the blue People talking What can I do Where do I go from here Where do I go from here I could give you any dream and watch it grow I could take you for a ride but you would know I could tell you every answer that I know It wouldn't be much tho' It wouldn't be anything you didn't know
But Survival Nothing more than survival
Shadows of days hanging endless in time Slowly fading Passing us by Shadows of worlds disappearing from view People asking What could we do? Where do I go from here Where do I go from here
If I gave you every dream they would grow If I took you for a ride would you know If I told you every answer that I know It wouldn't be much tho' It wouldn't be anything you didn't know
But survival In you love, I have all that I need for survival With your love I have all that I need for Survival With our love we have all that We need for Survival
One step into the light One step away from night It's the hardest step you're gonna take The ship to take you there Is waiting at the head Of the stairs that lead up through your opening mind
Above the dark despair Shines a light that we can share Close your eyes and look up in between your brows Then slowly breathing in Feel the life force streaming in Hold it there, then send it back to him
All the old things are returning Cosmic circles ever turning All the truth we've been yearning for Life is our saviour, saviour, saviour, save your soul
The river of living breath Is flowing through the sun He was there before the earth began The world will drag on you Use his love to pull you through Find the mission of your life and start to be
All the old things are returning Cosmic circles ever turning All the truth we've been yearning for Life is our saviour, saviour, saviour, save your soul
There's one thing I can do Play my mellotron for you Try to blow away your city blues Your dreams are not unfound Get your feet back on the ground The truth will set us free, we cannot lose We cannot love, we just have to choose
The day we meet again I'll be waiting there I'll be waiting there for you Cos the years have been so lonely Like a dog without a home It's dangerous when you find out You've been drinking on your own
The day we meet again We will walk in peace Thru the garden down the road Where the mist of time is lifting See it rising in the air Like the shadow I was chasing When I looked it wasn't there Oh no
But just in case you're wondering What was really on my mind It wasn't what you took my love It's what you left behind
And just in case you're wondering Will it really be the same You know we're only living for The day me meet again
So hold on - and don't let go Time heals - you know - I know
The day we meet again I'll be waiting there I'll be waiting there for you Cos the years have been so lonely Like a dog without a home It's dangerous when you find out You've been drinking on your own
The day we meet again We will walk in peace Thru the garden down the road Where the mist of time is lifting See it rising in the air Like the shadow I was chasing When I looked it wasn't there Hold on baby don't let go
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night, Removes the colors from our sight, Red is gray and yellow white, But we decide which is right, And which is an illusion.
Pinprick holes in a colorless sky, Let insipid figures of light pass by, The mighty light of ten thousand suns, Challenges infinity and is soon gone.
Nighttime, to some a brief interlude, To others the fear of solitude. Brave Helios, wake up your steeds, Bring the warmth the countryside needs.
Children sighing, What a day to go kite flying. Breeze is cool, Away from school Cowboys fighting out a duel. Time seems to stand quite still, In a child's world it always will.
Fish is biting, So exciting! Lunchtime sounds so inviting. At the bill He gets a thrill Sitting, watching bobbing quill.
Time seems to stand quite still, In a child's world it always will.
Yesterday's dreams Are tomorrow's sighs. Watch children playing, They seem so wise.
Mary Green Today's a queen One thousand dollies are her dream. In cotton frocks And golden locks, Her palace is an orange box
Time seems to stand quite still, In a child's world it always will.
I see it all through my window it seems Never failing like millions of bees Our life is run No time will be won All they need to do-o-o-o What can be done?
Peak hour, peak hour, peak hour
Minds are subject to what should be done Problem solved, time cannot be won One hour a day One hour at night Sees crowds of people Home in full flight
Peak hour, peak hour, peak hour
It makes me want to run out and tell them They've got time Take a step back out and look in I found out I've got time
Minds are subject to what should be done Problem solved, time cannot be won One hour a day One hour at night Sees crowds of people Home in full flight
Tuesday afternoon I'm just beginning to see Now I'm on my way It doesn't matter to me Chasing the clouds away
Something calls to me The trees are drawing me near I've got to find out why Those gentle voices I hear Explain it all with a sigh
I'm looking at myself, reflections of my mind It's just the kind of day to leave myself behind So gently swaying through the fairy-land of love If you'll just come with me and see the beauty of
Tuesday afternoon Tuesday afternoon
Tuesday afternoon I'm just beginning to see Now I'm on my way It doesn't matter to me Chasing the clouds away
Something calls to me The trees are drawing me near I've got to find out why Those gentle voices I hear Explain it all with a sigh
Evening has come to pass, The time of day doesn't last. Evening, has earned its place today, I'm tired of working away.
Working, living it brings, Only way to have those things. Toiling has bought too many tears, Turn 'round all those past years.
Evening time to get away. Evening time to get away. Evening time to get away. 'Til next day.
Live all you people, You can't see where you're at, It doesn't really hurt you, So that can't be bad. (repeat)
Evening time to get away. Evening time to get away.
----- (Evening: The Sun Set)
When the sun goes down, and the clouds all frown, Night has begun for the sunset. See it with your eyes, Earth's re-energized By the sun's rays everyday. Take a look out there, planets everywhere.
When the sun goes down, and the clouds all frown, Night has begun for the sunset. Shadows on the ground, never make a sound, Fading away in the sunset. Night has now become day for everyone.
I can see it all, from this great height, I can feel the sun, slipping out of sight. And the world still goes on through the night.
----- (Evening: Twilight Time)
Twilight time to dream awhile, In veils of deepening blue. As fantasy strides, over colourful skies, Of form disappearing from view.
In twilight time, dream with me awhile.
A nightingale plays a dark mellow phrase, Of notes that are rich and so true. An aerial display by the firefly brigade, Dancing to tunes no one knew.
In twilight time, dream with me awhile. In twilight time, dream with me awhile.
Building castles in the air, Whistling to the wind. As nature bows down her head, See what tomorrow brings.
In twilight time, dream with me awhile.
Bats take to wing like puppets on string, Prancing through cool evening air. In a sightless glide, no reason to hide Away from the sun's blinding stare.
In twilight time, dream with me awhile. In twilight time, dream with me awhile.
Nights in white satin never reaching the end Letters I've written never meaning to send Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before Just what the truth is I can't say any more Cause I love you Yes I love you Oh how I love you
Gazing at people some hand in hand Just what I'm going through they can't understand Some try to tell me thoughts they cannot defend Just what you want to be you'll be in the end And I love you Yes I love you Oh how I love you, oh I love you
Why do we never get an answer When we're knocking at the door With a thousand million questions About hate and death and war? 'Cause when we stop and look around us There is nothing that we need In a world of persecution that is burning in its greed
Why do we never get an answer When we're knocking at the door Because the truth is hard to swallow That's what the war of love is for
It's not the way that you say it When you do those things to me It's more the way that you mean it When you tell me what will be And when you stop and think about it You won't believe it's true That all the love you've been giving Has all been meant for you
I'm looking for someone to change my life I'm looking for a miracle in my life And if you could see what it's done to me To lose the love I knew Could safely lead me through
Between the silence of the mountains And the crashing of the sea There lies a land I once lived in And she's waiting there for me But in the grey of the morning My mind becomes confused Between the dead and the sleeping And the road that I must choose
I'm looking for someone to change my life I'm looking for a miracle in my life And if you could see what it's done to me To lose the love I knew Could safely lead me to The land that I once knew To learn as we grow old The secrets of our soul
It's not the way that you say it when you do those things to me It's more the way you really mean it when you tell me what will be
Why do we never get an answer When we're knocking at the door With a thousand million questions About hate and death and war 'Cause when we stop and look around us There is nothing that we need In a world of persecution that is burning in its greed
.....
Why do we never get an answer When we're knocking at the door
How is it we are here, on this path we walk, In this world of pointless fear, filled with empty talk, Descending from the apes as scientist-priests all think, Will they save us in the end, we're trembling on the brink.
Men's mighty mine-machines digging in the ground, Stealing rare minerals where they can be found. Concrete caves with iron doors, bury it again, While a starving frightened world fills the sea with grain.
Her love is like a fire burning inside, Her love is so much higher it can't be denied, She sends us her glory, it's always been there, Her love's all around us, it's there for you and me to share.
Men's mighty mine-machines digging in the ground, Stealing rare minerals where they can be found. Concrete caves with iron doors, bury it again, While a starving frightened world fills the sea with grain.
How is it we are here How is it we are here How is it we are here
