"Sail The Rivers"

"Sail The Rivers"


Would you give me
One more chance
If I agree to your demands
Or will you turn the knife
Keep me in pain till
I can't take no more
Would you take the breath of my life
Or are you lookin' for something
I never do right
I should be the one to let go
I could free your body and soul

So here we stand
Like actors in a play
On an empty stage
Not knowin' what to say
I tried so hard to get through to you
'cos don't you know I still need you
Oh, I need you

If I ask for one more night
Would you let me bathe in your light
Would you let me cover you up
And wrap myself around you
So you feel my love
Is this just the heat of the day
Or am I really feelin' this way
I see your silent tears
Before the storm
I feel the breeze
From a love that's gone

You've always walked
On the open sand
You'd risk it all so
I'd reach out my hand
I tried so hard to hold on to you
'cos don't you know I still need you

Sail the river and drift away
Find yourself on another day
Don't reach out
You have to hold me in bay
'cos I will always follow you
Take a knife and cut me down
Spill my blood
Watch it fall to the ground
There's no way to turn me around
'cos I will always follow you
Be a part of you

If I was to offer my life
I'd give it up just to
Bathe in your light
And you could have it
You could have it all
My heart, my body, my soul
Is this just the heat of the day
Or am I really feelin' this way
I wipe away the tears
Before the storm
I feel the breeze
From a love that's gone

So here we stand
Nothing left to say
I give it all but you turn me away
I tried so hard to get through to you

Sail the river and drift away
Find yourself on another day
Sail the river and drift away
'cos I will always follow you
I will always be a part of you

Sail the river and drift away
Sail the river and drift away
Sail the river ...

"Salisbury"

"Salisbury"


Somewhere in your eyes that very special glow
Somthing drawing me to where I do not know
I never really thought that I would lose myself
Now I'm moving faster than anybody else

You moved without a sound and touched me with your hand
Just like the rains that fondles every little grain of sand
This thing we're going to do it's just for you and me
I'm gonna make it good, good as it can be, oh
Do it this time with me

Your kiss is sweeter now your breath is getting warm
We must take our time to make it last 'til dawn
I wonder will it be oh I expect it to
There have been other girls but no one else like you
I feel a power here I never felt before
And I begin to see what draws us to want more
Oh girl of all my dreams please tell me if I'm wrong
Because I've been blue, but we belong

As time passed and all too fast
I knew we couldn't last
And I guessed that the end was near at last
Though we tried our love inside
It just crumpled up and died
What went wrong I will never understand
You tell me why
Alone again, how could you leave me
Alone again, I don't wanna be
Alone again, yeah!

There's a line in a rhyme I was going to send to you
It says "All that is to be will surely be"
So you thought you had to go
'Cause you needed someone new
Is there still a chance that you'll come back to me
I want you back you see Alone again, how could you leave me
Alone again, how could you leave me
Alone again, I don't want to be alone again yeah!

"Save It"

"Save It"


Gonna take my heart and my soul
And lay it onto someone's daughter
Gonna give out all that I got
To the woman who sits by the water

Gonna spend the rest of my time
With the woman by the winding river
Gonna let her know, I'll give her all
That I got forever and ever

She knows what I like, she knows what I need
And babe let me tell you she'll give it all to me
Save it, save it, save it all for me
Save it, save it, save it all for me
Save it, save it, save it all for me
Save it, save it, you gotta save it all for me

Gonna spend the rest of my time
With the woman by the winding river
Gonna let her know, I'll give her all
That I got forever and ever

Gonna take my heart and my soul
And lay it onto someone's daughter
Gonna give out all that I got
To the woman who sits by the water

"Sell Your Soul"

"Sell Your Soul"


I got the sound that's still the reason
I got the sound good and right
I've spent my life with rock 'n' roll
I wouldn't tell a lie
But if you want to touch the freedom
Just let the music take you whole
I'm possessed by rock 'n' roll
There's a thunder
See it and wonder
Had to play the game

You know we're gonna live forever
You know we're never gonna die
You see it's written
Across the sky tonight
I only tell you why
Because it's been going on
It's ancient
We got a spotlight just for you
I'm possessed by rock 'n' roll
Hear me calling
Stars are falling
Taking me away

Stand up - shout it out
I'm possessed by rock 'n' roll
Stand up - shout it out
Sell your soul
Stand up - shout it out
Let the music take you whole
Stand up - shout it out
Rock 'n' roll

Can't you see we're getting stronger
Getting stronger every day
There ain't nothing gonna stop us
There ain't no way
It's like a rolling god of thunder
You know it's never gonna stop
You know it's gonna drag you under
See me soaring
Thunders roaring
Things afraid again

"Seven Days"

"Seven Days"


Don't care if the rain don't shine
Don't care if the sun don't fall
You are the one in a million child
And you knew that I would call

Thoughts of you alone with me
I can't slow then down
But I can't get to sleep at night
Because you're not around

I can't wait
Seven days is a long time to be without a girl
I can't wait
Seven days is too long to be waiting for you

I've tried every kind of distraction
But nothing will ease the pain
There is only one solution
So why do you make me wait

Got to say I didn't think
That I could read your mind
But I can't get to sleep at night
'Cause baby you're on mine

"Seven Stars"

"Seven Stars"


Don't try to be anything else but what you are
Don't try to do anything else but the things you do
'Cause I had a dream about the seven stars
And the seven good things that you are
To me

The very reason I'm livin' is just for lovin' you
And the seasons are changin' makin' it all come true
'Cause with the spring and the clearing skies
Love's soft light will fill my eyes
For you

Who fills my head with these dreams
As I'm leaving my mind
Leaving my mind
Seven new stars are born, seven lie waiting to die
Seven new stars

The very reason I'm livin' is just for lovin' you
And the seasons are changin' makin' it all come true
'Cause I had a dream about the seven stars
And the seven good things that you are
To me

Who fills my head with these dreams
As I'm leaving my mind
Leaving my mind
Seven new stars are born, seven lie waiting to die
Seven new stars

Who fills my head with these dreams
As I'm leaving my mind
Leaving my mind
Seven new stars are born, seven lie waiting to die
Seven new stars

Who fills my head with these dreams
As I'm leaving my mind
Leaving my mind
Seven new stars are born, seven lie waiting to die
Seven new stars

"Shadow"

"Shadow"


There is illusion in my mirror
I have to show concern
'Cos what is left is right
Don't know which way to turn
And there is someone who is like me
But all they want to do is stare
And he would like to find the key
But I'm not there

Shadow, nothing but a shadow
Sunlight, never see the sunlight
Power, I got a special power
Shadow, nothing but a shadow

And now I'm moving
Down the sidewalk
Just staring at the ground
And if I don't look up the scene
Will change around
And we are residents of nowhere
What do we really say
Like a marionette just
Acting out a play

I thought I saw a face that I knew
While running through the crowd
Then she turned to look at me
I didn't really feel a thing
Just floating through the air
A trick of light for all to see

"Shadows Of Grief"

"Shadows Of Grief"


You're looking at me like I must be mad
But I've been through all this before
You'll kick and kick until I'm down
So don't think you're coming past my door oh no!
You think that love is such a pain
So the more it hurts the more you laugh
You take it and shake it up and down
'Til you think you've had enough

But you won't get enough of my love

If you want to carry on in the same old way
Treating everyone like a piece of dirt
Take it and break it and throw it away
There won't be anyone left to hurt oh no!

North, South, East and West
Wherever you go you'll find the same
And the only way you'll ever learn
Is to realize that you're to blame

"Shady Lady"

"Shady Lady"


Out from St. Louie, I wasn't choosy
I just wanted to get back on the road
I hitched in cars, and worked in bars
Lookin' for a place to lay down my load
I met a lady, a shady lady
And someone told her I was all on my own
She poured a beer and said "When I'm finished here
Hang around 'cause I'm taking you home

Don't worry I'll treat you all right
Don't worry you can stay all night"
And I thought it was any easy ride
But I didn't know where I was till I got inside

She said "Okay sonny, give me your money
And don't start any foolin' around"
I said "What?" I said "What
Don't you think you're turning me upside down"
She said "I don't care, I've been everywhere
And I've not been lookin' for you
But I'll take you in and give you a spin
You'll know some tricks by the time we get through"

Shady lady, you want it all your own way
Shady lady, you won't let go of your prey
Shady lady, eat me up and spit me out
But let's get started now I know what you're talkin' about

Now in the morning, as day was dawning
Shady asked me if I'd stay there awhile
I said "Stay? baby no way"
But I couldn't keep myself from a smile
I said "Now no bye-bye's, go in and dry your eyes
That ain't fittin' for a lady like you
Why not be smart, and give your life another start
But take care now whatever you do"

Shady lady I'm on my way
Shady lady we'll meet again one day
And don't worry 'cause when we do
I'm gonna make sure that there ain't very much left of you

I gotta get out! [repeat and fade w/vocal ad lib]

"Shelter From The Rain"

"Shelter From The Rain"


When our hearts were young
We put our hands into the flames
Felt the heat from our emotions
We had fire in our veins
All those night we'd spend
Alone in your room
Though my silent thoughts
I still remember

We would use the power of love
Free our souls in endless love
We would sacrifice
Our hopes and dreams
Because without love
Our world would surely die

When our hearts were young
We never thought that
Life would change
Now the seasons go on
Oh why do we shelter from the rain
And all those nights we'd spend
Alone in your room
Through my silent thoughts
I still remember

When our hearts were young
We had fire in our veins
And each time we touched
We'd melt in the flames
When our hearts were young
We knew pleasure, we knew plain
But each time we kissed
We'd burn in the flames
Feel the fire in our veins
