Uriah Heep

Seen from the height
Of a thousand miles
The earth looks the same as it did
How is it we can fly faster than day
But we can't find the things we need

Young man said the old man
Let the youth in your heart be at rest
We may all be dead
In a year or a day
When the devil is put to the test ?

The day of creation
Was our finest hour
It's something we ought to defend
But it's been so abused
Since the first day of light
That no glory can come in the end

Young man cried the old man
There is victory in staying alive
And if you care so little
For the world we're in
Why and what do you
Want to survive

Can't we try
To let the past go by
With it's lessons firmly
Settled in our minds
To our children one by one
And before the darkness comes
Let us leave a world full of light
Of a different kind

In truth they should meet
And with love
Their hearts should beat
And with patience
Solve the problems of our time
It wouldn't be so hard to do
It's only up to me and you
Let us not bequeath
A life that is a crime

Young man cried the old man
Let the youth in your heart be at rest
We may all be dead
In a year or a day
When the devil is put to the test

Young man ...

When I'm all alone on a distant path
And my ticket home
Has been torn in half
Oh, I can hear your voice girl
I can feel your touch
Across the miles tonight

On the road again will it always be
That the dream has changed
On its way to reality
Oh but the thought of you
Strange how it pulls me through
Across the miles tonight

And I am sending you this message
Through the wires tonight
Just close your eyes and hold on tight
And here I am concentrating girl
With all my might
Now the sound of your laughter
Trails off through the midnight sky

As the miles go by cities come and go
When you close your eyes
And listen to the radio
Girl can you hear my song
The signal is clear and strong
Across the miles tonight

And I am sending you this message
Through the wires tonight
Just close your eyes and hold on tight
And here I am concentrating girl
With all my might
Now the sound of your laughter
Trails off across the miles

When I'm all alone on a distant path
And my ticket home
Has been torn in half
Oh, I can hear your voice girl
I can feel your touch
Across the miles tonight

On the road again will it always be
That the dream has changed
On its way to reality
Oh but the thought of you
Strange how it pulls me through
Across the miles tonight

And I am sending you this message
Through the wires tonight
Just close your eyes and hold on tight
And here I am concentrating girl
With all my might
Now the sound of your laughter
Trails off through the midnight sky

As the miles go by cities come and go
When you close your eyes
And listen to the radio
Girl can you hear my song
The signal is clear and strong
Across the miles tonight

And I am sending you this message
Through the wires tonight
Just close your eyes and hold on tight
And here I am concentrating girl
With all my might
Now the sound of your laughter
Trails off across the miles

I had a little look
For a minute today
And I told there was something
That I wanted to say

Just sitting there glowing
With her red light on
So I've gotta make fast
And it shouldn't take long

Maybe she will
Maybe she won't
We can get it so together
If she doesn't say don't

I've never ever thought
I was looking for a wife
But I think I could love her
For the rest of my life

I only took one 멵ause
I couldn't take two
I wanna make love
And it's gotta be you

Every little thing that
I ever tried to say
Is coming out right
In my own kinda way

Take it, make it
It really feels fine
She must be Lady Luck
If she's gonna be mine

I will love you all my life

Can't go to sleep without you
Starring in my dreams
I can't get you out of my head
I close my eyes, you're always there
I lock the door
But you're comin' up the stairs
Can't stay awake
I know I have to try
What will it take to stop you
Walking in my sleep
How can I break
The hold you have on me
Angel will you never
Ever set me free
Oh angel, I can't stop you
Dancing on my bed
You're an angel and
I can't get you out of my head
Angel, I can't stop you
Walking in my sleep
You're an angel and I can't
Stop you starring in my dreams
How come you're givin' me
These technicolour dreams
How can I get you out of my head
I close my eyes, you're always there
How can I get you out of my bed
I lie awake, all I see is you
I'm going crazy, what can I do
Switch off the light
Then you start to call
I lock the door
Now you're coming through the wall
Angel, I can't stop you
Dancing on my bed
You're an angel and
I can't get you out of my head
Sweet angel, I can't stop you
Walking in my sleep
You're an angel and I can't
Stop you starring in my dreams
I can't stay awake much longer
This feeling's getting stronger
You must be an angel
'Cause I can't stop you
Dancing on my bed
You're an angel and
I can't get you out of my head
Angel, I can't stop you
Walking in my sleep
You're an angel and I can't
Stop you starring in my dreams
Sweet angel, I can't stop you
Dancing on my bed
You're an angel and
I can't get you out of my head
Angel, I can't stop you
Wa

Desperate man, desperate times
Desperate heart
Once she was mine
Bad blood, cold sweat
The more I give, the less I get
She picked clean to the bone
Black ice, danger zone
Bad blood runs through her veins
She's got bad blood
She'll never change
I held on long as I could
But that girl - bad blood
Perfect crimes, no clues
That girl's just bad news
I held on long as I could
Bad girl, bad blood
She cut clean to the bone
Tight jeans, danger zone
Girl's got bad blood ...
Glass heart, fools gold
Her blood is stone cold
Held on long as I could
But that girl's just no good
She picked clean to the bone
Black ice, danger zone

Sail down the stream
Such a beautiful dream
Never stopping
Never touching anything
Till dawn awakes you
With a breath of the Spring

Far from the crowds
Way above the clouds
We can take you to
The edge of the day
And show you living in
A new kind of way

We'll take you floating to
A sea of morning dew
Where everyone's the same
And no-one knows your name
And there you'll see that you can
Live your life to the extreme
Such a beautiful dream

Sail down the stream
Such a beautiful dream
Never stopping
Never touching anything
Till dawn awakes you
With a breath of the Spring

Far from the crowds

You're not the only one
Amongst the saints and sinners
There are those that we can see
And those no longer with us
To take that walk again
With someone you were close to
On stage in the other world tonight

And there are many
Who will say it's speculation
We need to focus on
The sleeping generation
The healing vision
That extends beyond the pain
Will take you there and back again

I can remember
You were no stranger
As you came to me
Dreamers walking
And in that moment
Between two worlds


I saw the furthest star
Exploding all around you

And through the journey
You spoke in silence
And you made it clear
Walk in peace now
Then you touched me
Revealing all upon your way
Inside the burning fountain of timeOf time ...

A time so real as the one
We share each day
The same dimension
Just a heartbeat away
In every part of you
There's so much exploration
Out on the edge of space and time

You're not the only one
Amongst the saints and sinners
There are those that we can see
And those no longer with us
To take that walk again
With someone you were close to
On stage in the other world tonight

I can see that look that sends me where
you try to move in closer if you dare.
So I will sit and play my waiting game.
And for a while I know you'll do the same.
Oh No!

Watches like an eagle from its tree,
then like a bird of prey she captured me.
But I am older and more wise than you.
Bird of prey - straight into me you fool.
Oh No!

Now every time I try to set her free - Yeah! Ooh!
I'm glad to say she comes right back to me - Ah!
But if I knew she didn't want to stay - Yeah! Ooh Ah!
I wouldn't try to keep that lovely bird of prey - Ooh Ah!
Ooh Ah

Once there was a man of power
Had no care for human life
Then one day he saw his living lie
Growing all around him
The wheel of change had taken over
Found a love he never knew
Now he teaches children what is true
Gather all around him

What made him choose to turn away
What makes us change our mind
The will to see turns you around
There is no explanation why
There is no rhyme or reason
Just feel the love and you're alive

Running around in your confusion
From the cradle to the grave
Ain't got time to see the world go by
Where are you going
Always moving round in circles
Talking words that never end
Standing in the grip of madness
Why oh why
What are you saying

How can we choose to run away
How do we change our mind
See the perception turn around


There is no explanation why
There is no rhyme or reason
Just feel the love and you're alive

Realise this understanding
Move before it gets too late
Take this chance
Or life will pass you by
This is the only way
We must pull ourselves together
There's so much we must explain
Got to teach the children what is true
There is no other way

Why did we choose to turn away
Why did we change our mind
The will to see turns you around
There is no explanation why
There is no rhyme or reason
Just feel the love and you're alive

The incredible gift of life
Where the fire within burns bright
Every moment we live is true
And the spirit is all in you

Safe in the shadows
Deep in the night
I know you're near
But you're nowhere in sight
Safe from the darkness
Down in the streets
I hear your footsteps
I hear your heartbeat
Oh, I can hear your heartbeat

On the street corner
Away from the light
I know you're near
But you're nowhere in sight
Over my shoulder
I feel you're near
I feel you moving
But you never appear

Chasing shadows
Chasing something I can't see
Chasing shadows
Will I ever be free
Chasing shadows
Into the darkness from the light
Chasing shadows
I'm just a victim of the night
The night

Cloaked in darkness
You play at your game
I hear you breathing
Call out your name
Closer, closer, I feel you so near
You're just a shadow
But you never appear

Chasing shadows
Chasing something I can't see
Chasing shadows
Will I ever be free
Chasing shadows
Into the darkness from the light
Chasing shadows
Another victim of the night
The night

Shadows in the night

Safe from the darkness
Deep in the night
I know you're here
You're nowhere in sight
Over my shoulder
I know you are near
I feel you moving
Will you ever appear

I'm chasing something I can't see
Will I ever be free
Shadows in the night

Circle of hands
Cold spirits plan
Searching my land
For an enemy
Came across
Love's sweet cost
And in the face of beauty
Evil was lost

Sky full of eyes
Minds full of lies
Black from their cold hearts
Down to their graves
Murdered the dawn
Spreading their scorn
Cursing the sun
Of which love was born

We must keep them away
Or pretty soon we'll pay
And count the cost in sorrow
Sacrifice - the future has it's price
And today is only
Yesterday's tomorrow

Tomorrow ...

Daddy, daddy, come and look
See what I have found
A little ways away from here
While digging in the ground

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
It's nothing, just a picture-book
They had before the war

Daddy, daddy, come and see
Daddy, come and look
Why, there's four or five
Little Melinda girls
Inside my picture book

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
There were lots of little girls like you
Before they had the war

Oh Daddy, daddy, come and see
Daddy, hurry do
Why, there's someone
In a pretty dress
She's all grown up like you
Won't you tell me why

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
That someone is your Mummy
You had before the war

Daddy, daddy, tell me if you can
Why can't things be
The way they were
Before the war began

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
The answer lies in yesterday
Before they had the war

You're too vain, you're insane
You think the world will stop turning
'Cause you ain't around

Blind eyes, cheap lines
You got the whole band playing
But you don't hear the sound
Your venom pen
Will never poison me
I won't be sticking round that long

Corina, what's this talk of glory
Between the sheets in halls of fame
Corina, just a hard luck story
Bratpack fever
Running through your brain

Your fast cars, rock stars
You were seen at the party
But you weren't even there

False name, the same game
Somebody's minding your business
You don't even care
You think it's all
Some kind of circus ride
You think that someone's
Keeping score
