Wishbone Ash - Tracks 2 [compilation, live] (2003) by Wishbone Ash (보컬) on maniadb.com

It was a night, yeah, the kind of night
Left me pacing 'cross the floor.
It was a dream, like those other dreams,
So many times before.

I went back to the old town,
To the streets I used to roam,
And I looked into my daddy's eyes
And asked that fatal question, "why'd
You have to go? "

You had to go.


There was a time when life was good
And everything felt so right.
I don't know why, I never understood


Why you left us on that night.

I went back, to that day when you left us on our own -
Now I look into my baby's eyes
And I just know there is no way
I'd ever go.

I'll never go.


Take me to the mountainside,
Far away from here,
Where my eyes are open wide -
No one gets too near.

Reflecting back on the life that I once knew,
I'm pretty sure I could have changed a thing or two.
In our restless youth, we were wild and running fast,
And everyone I knew said “Boy, you'll never last.”

I saw an ad for a player in a band.
I took a train, guitar case in my hand.
Like a dream, sweet music in my ears.
Had a little luck on the course we were to steer.

Never found another reason,
you gave me something to believe in.
You came and you saved me.
Yes I got what I need in:
Faith, Hope and Love.
Faith, Hope and Love.

I settled down with my family, that is true.
I kept my faith in the music to guide me through.
And life can change, if you really want it to.
And you can change, too, just believe in what you do.

Never found another reason,
you gave me something to believe in.
You came and you saved me.
Yes I got what I need in:
Faith, Hope and Love.
Faith, Hope and Love

I know your name, you told me,
It's a cloak and dagger tune.
Make love to you every full moon, baby,
When the day is through.
Use your magic carefully,
The danger creeps up slow.
Intuition can serve you well,
Or fool you when it's time to go.

Come stealin' like a thief,
Now I'm shakin' like a leaf.
Screamin' out, ??징??째t's comin' soon!'
Yeah, yeah, the crescent moon.

Cosmic jazz is all around,
Keeps my feet on the ground.
Overload, shake down,
Gotta go, oh, gotta go.

About this premonition,
It contains a spell.
Stays just like a vision,


Showin he's not doin' well.

Spot carved from a finger,
The witches paint it black.
A wizard tied up by her love,
But now he wants his wallet back.

Been stealin' like a thief,
Now I'm shakin' like a leaf.
Screami' out, it's comin' soon!'
Yeah, yeah, the crescent moon.

Cosmic jazz is all around,
Keeps my face on the ground.
Overload, shake down,
Gotta go, oh, gotta go.

Repeat twice.

I didn't know what day it was that day,
Felt just like falling down on my knees to pray.
Looked at myself, and all that I could say
Was,"I think I see the errors of my way".
There in the glass there was something caught my eye,
Although I try through my sighing not to cry.
See where I am, and what I try to say,


Just so I'll look at the errors of my way.
Guess I got no one around to pull me through.
I just need someone to turn to, yes, I do.
Doin' my best just to change my yesterday,
Then I won't have no more errors of my way.

Bird rise high from the cinders
Leave it all far behind
All the ruins and the fire

Bird raise your head from the ashes
Many men lay dead
You can see them like I

Phoenix rise
Raise your head to the sky

If I seem a bit crazy
It's because these thoughts they crowd my mind
Gets a little bit hazy
These events distort my sense of time
My heart's like a cave where the sun
The sun refuse to shine

Well, it's bleeding me dry
It's a little like an ancient remedy
Nowhere left to hide
Leeching all my energy
My thoughts turn to death
When I'm in your company

It used to be that our planets
Were so perfectly aligned in our time
If you could see that, now it's harder to bring back
All your dreams and all you've left way behind

there's been a subtle shift
In the population's hearts and minds
Is there something I missed'
Something kinda hard to define
Now we search for evidence
Of the stranger in our midst

It used to be that our planets
Were so perfectly aligned in our time

Blue skies in my rear-view mirror,
Well, I've got you on my mind.
Road sign says I'm getting nearer,
And now it's just a matter of time.

Well, now I get to wonder,
Do you take me for a fool?
Do I have to take a number
And wait in line
Just to get to you?

You got the time, I got the money -


This ain't workin' at all.
It's no joke, and it ain't funny -
I think I'm losing control.

Like tumbleweed that's blowin' free
You change direction with the wind.
We both know that this may never be
Nothing more than someplace to begin.

I've got to rearrange my life,
I've got to rearrange my world.
I miss you, I need you.

I've got to keep my memories aside,
I've got to try to live again.

Time was when there were things around
To be afraid of.
I've got cause, I've even changed my mind
To turn the tables.

Time was when there was no need to stop
And rearrange it.
Now I've got a memory
And I don't want to change it.

And there's a time for waking up
And feeling down,
It's when you have to pick your feet
Up from the ground.

Time was when I had you around -
I was a strong man.
I need you to help make the change
And be a new man.

Takes more than a day and a night
For giving.
It's not so easy just to change your way
Of living.

Time was when there were things around
To bother me.
The crime was, I couldn't start
To change my history.

Underground,
They want us to go underground.
Underground,
They want us to go underground.
You've got the right,
You've got the right to say what you think
You've got to fight,
'Cause they're leading us to the brink.
Fireball,
There's going to be a fireba

If I seem a bit crazy
It's because these thoughts they crowd my mind
Gets a little bit hazy
These events distort my sense of time
My heart's like a cave where the sun
The sun refuse to shine

Well, it's bleeding me dry
It's a little like an ancient remedy
Nowhere left to hide
Leeching all my energy
My thoughts turn to death
When I'm in your company

It used to be that our planets
Were so perfectly aligned in our time
If you could see that, now it's harder to bring back
All your dreams and all you've left way behind

Why does love have to?
Where does it go to
Outta my door?
How much have you got?
Is it enough for me
Or will i want more?
Oh,oh, you tell me you just want some fun.
Oh, oh, i'm trapped between the fire and the man with the gun.
Time in a vacuum,
Waiting

Find myself beside a stream of empty thought,
Like a leaf that's fallen to the ground,
And carried by the flow of water to my dreams
Woken only by your sound.
(Repeat)

Alone I've walked this path for many years,
Listened to the wind that calls my name.
The weeping trees of yesterday look so sad,
Await your breath of spring again.

Far beyond the hills,
Where earth and sky will meet again,
Are shadows like an opening hand.
Control the secrets
That I've yet to find, and wonder at
The light in which they stand.
(Repeat)

I met a man who felt the same way,
That the world had passed him by.
Told me all his troubles,
That the world had made him cry.

Life had kept him waiting,
Regretting his pain inside.
Had to feel underrated,
And hated, besides.

Life had kept him waiting,
Regretting his shame inside.
Had to feel underrated,
And hated, besides.

Sometime world, pass me by again,
Carry you, carry me, away.
(Repeat twice)

I thought i had a girl
And all because i seen her.
I thought i had a girl
And all because i seen her.
Her hair was golden brown (yes it was)
Blowin' free like a cornfield.
She was far awayI found it hard to reach her.
She told me you can try
But it's impossible to find her.
In my dreams everything was all right -
In your schemes you can only try.

Well, I been away,
I said I been away for so long.
Tell me, have you,
Have you done me wrong?
Can I tell by the look that's in your eyes,
Have you kept your loving locked away inside?
Can you shake the dust from off my shoes -
Take away these bad weather blues?
I done time, I got carried away,
I done laid this high-class babe out in the hay,
Spent half a year in the jailhouse all alone -
This never would have happened if I'd stayed at home, oh no.
Can you shake the dust from off my shoes -
Take away these bad weather blues?
Come on everybody, then, clap your hands in the air.
Come on, a little bit louder, a little bit louder,
Come on everybody. I'll teach you, come on,
We want to hear you. Louder, louder!
We want you all to join in with us -
When we say "Yeah", when we say "Yeah",
We want you to say "Yeah". You got it?
Come on, are you ready? Can't hear you!
That's better, here we go.
Say yeah, yeah
Say yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can you shake the dust, can you shake the dust,
Can you make me shine?
Can you shake the dust and make me shine
Like they do in Sheffield all the time?
Been everywhere around the world,
Seen every, every kind of girl, yeah.
But it moves me the way that I think I know,
And it weakens me, so make your loving flow.
Can you shake the dust from off my shoes -
Take away these bad weather blues?
Can you shake the dust from off my shoes -
Take away these bad weather blues.

Don't tell me baby
Cause I already know
Things could be better,
Not like this Broadway Show

Always a reason
There's no time to talk
I don't want you leaving
And I surely don't want you to walk

[Chorus]
Cause I never felt this way I feel before
Is this the blues? Almighty blues
I've never felt so lonely, since I lost my one and only

I can't go the distance
I can't close the door
Feel alone in a crowd
I can't take no more

[Chorus]

Don't need a reason
To be in your game
With a loser's luck
It's nothin' but a cryin' shame

[Chorus]
