Electric Light Orchestra

I sent a message to another time,
But as the days unwind - this I just can't believe.
I send a note across another plane,
Maybe it's all a game - but this I just can't conceive.

I drive the very latest hover car,
I don't know where you are - but I miss you so much till then,
I met someone who looks alot like youm
She does the things you do, but she is an IBM

She's only programmed to be very nice,
But she's as cold as ice, whenever I get to near,
She tells me that she likes me very much,
But when I try to touch, she makes it all to clear.

She is the latest in technology,
Almost mythology, but she has a heart of stone,
She has an IQ of 1,001,
She has a jump suit on, and she's also a telephone.

*Is that what you want - is it what you really want.

I realize that it must seem so strange,
That time has rearranged, but time has the final word
She knows I think of you, she reads my mind,
She tries to be unkind, she knows nothing of our world

Although her memory banks overflow
No one would ever know, all she says is that what you want
Maybe one day I'll feel her cold embrace,
And kiss her interface, until then I'll leave her alone

*Repeat

I watch the cars move, I watch the lights up on the window
I walk along the street, I'm only thinking of you
I watch the clock staring from the wall, it hardly moves at all
It's you I'm waiting for
Without someone I can depend on
I'm lost without someone

Little darlin',don't you cry,
You know I'll try to be there with you by and by
When everything is going wrong now don't you cry.
I'm wishin'.
Little darlin',far away,
I see the world go rollin' by my window pane,
But I can only wish that I was there again.
I'm wishin'.

*I wish that everything was cold,
I wish you were here to hold,I'm wishin'.

Little darlin',the night is long,
I thought I'd be back now I must have got it wrong
You and California call me in this song.
I'm wishin'.

*Repeat

Little darlin' I see you,you're cryin' in the sun
I gotta be with you,
I'm gonna be with there soon I'll make it all come true.
I'm wishin'.

*Repeat

Wish I was, yeah, a wild west hero.

Sometimes i look up high and then I think there might
just be a better life.
Away from all we know, that's where I wanna go,
out on the wild side
and I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.

Ride the range all the day till the first fading light,
be with my western girl round the fire, oh, so bright.
I'd be the Indians friend, let them live to be free,
ridin' into the sunset, I wish I could be.

I'd ride the desert sands and through the prairie lands,
try'n to do what's right.
The folks would come to me, they'd say, we need you here.
I'd stay there for the night.
Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.

Ride the range all the day till the first fading light,
be with my western girl round the fire, oh, so bright.
I'd be the Indians friend, let them live to be free,
ridin' into the sunset, I wish I could be.

Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.
Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.
Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.
Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.
Wish I was, o-o-oo-o-o-o-oo, a wild west hero.

Whisper in the night
Over silent evening air
Angel's gown shines white
All at once you're glad she's there
Daughter of your dream shine a guiding light for me
For I'll be here till light
Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me

Night turns into gold
So the tide may turn today
Though God gave the world
It's not mine to throw away
Daughter of your dream shine a guiding light for me
For I'll be here till light
Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me
La da da da
Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me

Help to face what the day may bring
Angels sing
You were sent to make the night be kind
What will I find

Snowflake bird she came
Taking grey clouds from your door
Face the midnight sun
You have something to live for
Daughter of your dream shine a guiding light for me
For I'll be here till light
Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me
La da da da
Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me

Whisper in the night
Over silent evening air
Angel's gown shines white
All at once you're glad she's there
Daughter of your dream shine a guiding light for me
For I'll be here till light
Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me

Night turns into gold
So the tide may turn today
Though God gave the world
It's not mine to throw away
Daughter of your dream shine a guiding light for me
For I'll be here till light
Whisper in the night

Long hair, flashing eyes
The kind of hips that make you fantasize
A slow smile, just meant to tease
One look and you'll be weak at the knees
They got my head in a whirl
'Cos I can't get enough of those whiskey girls

They got the world at their fingertips
With just a look and lick of the lips
They understand the rhythm of the night
I'm in a daze, I don't know wrong from right
They got my head in a whirl
'Cos I can't get enough of those whiskey girls

*Hypnotised - by the whiskey girls
Compromised - out of this world
Lord above, could this be love
Ain't no doubt about it
I'm crazy about the whiskey girls

Whiskey girls are out on the town
They'll break your heart, they'll bring you down
Whiskey girls are out of control
For just one touch you'd sell your soul

The moon is high I'm getting out of the line
Whishful thinking with a one track mind
I'm having flashes, oh can't you see
they're walking through my private fantasy
Wearing only a necklace of pearls
Those slow walking, long-legged whiskey girls

*Repeat

Far beyond the things you see
Time rolls on eternally
Got a thing about it
Just can't live without it.

Sitting there inside your mind
Just waiting for the clock to chime
On a lonely line
Stood a lonely man

No pictures on an empty wall
No body there no one at all
Just echoes in the ivory halls
When time stood still.

Days line up outside the door
Thought time had stopped there was no more
Been a lonely world
Such a lonely world.

No pictures on an empty wall
No Toulouse, Vincent or Pablo
Just echoes in the ivory halls
When time stood still.

No big machine or April showers
No submarines, no plastic flowers
Just echoes in the ivory towers
When time stood still
When time stood still
When time stood still
When time stood still.

Far beyond the things you see
Time rolls on eternally
Got a thing about it
Just can't live without it.

Sitting there inside your mind
Just waiting for the clock to chime
On a lonely line
Stood a lonely man

No pictures on an empty wall
No body there no one at all
Just echoes in the ivory halls
When time stood still.

Days line up outside the door
Thought time had stopped there was no more
Been a lonely world
Such a lonely world.

No pictures on an empty wall
No Toulouse, Vincent or Pablo
Just echoes in the ivory halls
When time stood still.

No big machine or April showers
No submarines, no plastic flowers
Just echoes in the ivory towers
When time stood still
When time stood still
When time stood still
When time stood still.

So now it's getting late for those who hesitate, got no one,
But they don't understand and no one hears the sound.
It's like a waterfall; it's an illusion.

Love is all, waterfall, love is what you are,
Pulls you in, takes you down, it's a sad affair.
But you know, as you hold back the power there,
Without the friends and lovers, you could never go on living.

Across the waterfall that's falling evermore down on you,
Cascading through the days, and flowing on its way,
That's how it has to be, just an illusion.

Love is all, waterfall, love is what you are,
Pulls you in, takes you down, it's a sad affair.
But you know, as you hold back the power there,
Without the friends and lovers, you could never go on living.

So now it's getting late, for those who hesitate, got no one
But they don't understand and no one hears the sound, it's like a
waterfall, it's an illusion

CHORUS
Love is all, waterfall, love is what you are
Pulls you in, takes you down, it's a sad affair
But you know as you hold back th power the power there
Without the friends and lovers you could never go on living

Across the waterfall that's falling evermore down on you
Cascading through the days and flowing on its way
That's how it has to be, just an illusion

CHORUS

So now it's getting late for those who hesitate, got no one,
But they don't understand and no one hears the sound.
It's like a waterfall; it's an illusion.

Love is all, waterfall, love is what you are,
Pulls you in, takes you down, it's a sad affair.
But you know, as you hold back the power there,

But you know, as you hold back the power there,
Without the friends and lovers, you could never go on living.

World's going through some changes
I see so many things that
I don't understand

And people - have got to feel the power
We got to take our lives back
Into our own hands

This is no time for silence
We got to be stronger
We can't live with the violence
We can't live with the fear

*Voices - I wanna hear them calling
From the highest mountain
Over land and sea
Voices - I wanna hear them calling
Hear the sound of freedom
Calling out to me

Life - just turns in a circle
If we look for solutions
In the mistakes of the past

And now - we got to look to the future
We got to find the answers
We got to find them fast

So put the wheels in motion
If you wanna make changes
Out across the ocean
Let your words ring out

*Repeat

Lipstick traces on an unmade bed
We drank all night and got devils in our head
She said some things that should have stayed unsaid
Emotions overflowing
Now I don't know what to believe
Sitting here in the cold light of the day

She felt anger, I felt pain
I walked out into the pouring rain
Packed my bags and took the midnight train
Didn't care where it was going
On my way, running like a thief
Hard to leave, but harder to stay

There's no wrong, there's no right
But sometimes she breaks all the rules
And lying here alone tonight
Can't believe love can be so cruel

Wish I'd believed her
'Cos now I need her
Sometimes the truth just hurts too much

She goes straight to the heart
With a truth that always finds me
She goes straight to the heart
And pulls tight the ties that bind me
She can be so cold, and it tears me apart
When she twists the knife
It goes straight to the heart

Sometimes love is an endless fight
It's never simple, never black and white
Just like ships passing in the night
Who knows where they're going
No forgiveness, no reprieve
Both sailing their separate ways

Light of day, dead of night
I'm searching for what I can't find
Try and try as I might
I can't get her out of my mind

Wish I'd believed her
'Cos now I need her
I guess we all must love and learn
She goes straight to heart
With a truth that always finds me
She goes straight to the heart
And pulls tight the ties that bind me
She can be cold, and it tears me apart
When she twists the knife
It goes straight to the heart

The visions dancing in my mind,
The early dawn the shades of time.
Twilight crawling through my window pane.

Am I awake or do I dream,
The strangest pictures I have seen,
Night is day and twilight's gone away.

With your head held high and your scarlet lies,
You came down to me from the open skies,
It's either real or it's a dream
There's nothing that is in between

*Twilight, I only meant to stay a while
Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind
Away from me.

Across the night I saw your face
You disappeared without a trace
You brought me here but can you take me back.

Inside the image of your light
That now is day and once was night
You leave me here and then you go away.

*Repeat

You brought me here but can you take me back again.

You came down to me from the open skies,
It's either real or it's a dream

You lead me here and then you go away.

The city streets are empty now THE LIGHTS DON′T SHINE NO MORE
and so the songs are way down low TURNING TURNING TURNING
A sound that flows into my mind THE ECHOES OF THE DAYLIGHT
of everything that is alive IN MY BLUE WORLD

I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone
Turn to stone when you comin′ home, I can′t go on

The dying embers of the night A FIRE THAT SLOWLY FADES TILL DAWN
still glow upon the wall so bright BURNING BURNING BURNING
The tired streets that hide away FROM HERE TO EVERYWHERE THEY GO

You will return again some day TO MY BLUE WORLD

I saw her there from across the street, she was dressed in black
And when she moved she moved to a beat, like a Cadillac
She rode a train, train train train, a train of gold

She was a woman of suspicious ways, never saw daylight
And in her room she sat and passed the days
And she'd creep out at night
She rode a train, train train train, a train of gold

Chorus:
Train of gold, train of gold
It took me so long to find out I was wrong
Now I wait for her in the night

Looked through a window saw a velvet sky, a shade of green
A violin was playing soft and sweet, like it was a dream
She rode a train, train train train, a train of gold

Train of gold, train of gold
It took me so long to find out I was wrong
Now I wait for her in the night

Train of gold, train of gold
I don't believe her, it just couldn't be her
I can't get it out of my mind

Time after time, time after time
The skies are darkening they grow so dim
Strangers are meeting but it never ends
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

(Time after time)
>From far away there comes a warning sound
And no one listens but it's all around
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

Chorus:
Time after time, no hiding anywhere
Time after time, the visions in the air
Time after time, they come from everywhere

(Time after time)
Time after time
Just listen to the sirens of the world
They breathe a whisper waiting for the word
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

(Time after time)
Time after time it is the same old story
Another footstep on the trail of glory
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

Repeat Chorus:

The beauty of the earth from way up high
Shines like a jewel on the velvet sky
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

The skies are darkening they grow so dim
Strangers are meeting but it never ends
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

Repeat Chorus:

Emit retfa emit, no hiding anywhere
Emit retfa emit, no visions in the air
They come from everywhere

They say some days you're gonna win,
They say some days you're gonna lose.
I tell you I got news for you
Your losin' all the time you never win
If you believe that's how it's gonna be I'd better put you down
Get off your tightrope up there come down on
The ground you gotta save me now,
You better turn around.
When I looked around, I was heading down.
Won't somebody throw me down a line.

They say some days you gotta give
They say some days you gotta take
If that's the way it's gotta be,
Roll it over and you will see.
The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time.
The change from night to day is really only hours,
It's just along the line can't you see the sign
When I looked around, I was heading down,
Won't somebody throw me down a line.

I want to look you straight in the eye,
I want to tell you how I really feel,
I can feel the wheels turnin' round,
Won't somebody throw me down a line
The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time,
The change from night to day is really only hours
It's just along the line, can't you see the sign
When I closed my eyes, I was so surprised
Somebody had thrown me down the linestopped me drownin

They say, some days you're gonna win,
They say, some days you're gonna lose.
I tell you, I got news for you,
You're losin' all the time, you never win, oh.
If you believe that's how it's gonna be, I'd better put you down.
Get off your tightrope up there, come down on the ground.
You gotta save me now, you better turn around.
When I looked around, I was heading down.
Won't somebody throw me down a line?

They say, some days you gotta give,
They say, some days you gotta take.
If that's the way it's gotta be,
Roll it over and you will see.
The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time.
The change from night to day is really only hours,
It's just along the line, can't you see the sign?
When I looked around, I was heading down.
Won't somebody throw me down a line?

I want to look you straight in the eye,
I want to tell you how I really feel,
I can feel the wheels turnin' round.
Won't somebody throw me down a line?
The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time.
The change from night to day is really only hours,
It's just along the line, can't you see the sign?
When I closed my eyes, I was so surprised:
Somebody had thrown me down the line - stopped me drownin'.
Somebody had thrown me down a line - stopped by.

Remember the good old 1980's,
When things were so uncomplicated,
I wish I could go back there again,
And everything could be the same.

I've got a ticket to the moon,
I'll be leaving here any day soon,
Yeah, I've got a ticket to the moon,
But I'd rather see the sunrise, in your eyes.

Got a ticket to the moon,
I'll be rising high above the earth so soon,
And the tears I cry might turn into the rain,
That gently falls upon your window,
You'll never know.

Ticket to the moon
Fly, fly through a troubled sky
Up to a new world shining bright.

Flying high above,
Soaring madly through the mysteries that come,
Wondering sadly if the ways that led me here,
Could turn around and I would see you there,
standing there

Ticket to the moon,
Flight leaves here today from satellite 2,
As the minutes go by what shall I do,
I paid the fare but what more can I say,
It's just one way.

Ticket to the moon,

Remember the good old 1980s
When things were so uncomplicated ?
I wish I could go back there again
And everything could be the same.
I've got a ticket to the moon
I'll be leaving here any day soon
Yeah, I've got a ticket to the moon
But I'd rather see the sunrise in your eyes.

Got a ticket to the moon
I'll be rising high above the earth so soon
And the tears I cry might turn into the rain
That gently falls upon your window
You'll never know.

Ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon

Fly, fly through a troubled sky
Up to a new world shining bright

Flying high above
Soaring madly through the mysteries that come
Wondering sadly if the ways that led me here
Could turn around and I would see you there
Standing there

Ticket to the moon
Flight leaves here today from Satellite Two
As the minutes go by, what should I do?
I paid the fare, what more can I say?
It's just one way

Ticket to the moon..

Well I came a long way to be here today
And I left you so long on this avenue,
And here I stand in the strangest land
Not knowing what to say or do.
As I gaze around at these strangers in town,
I guess the only stranger is me,
And I wonder, yes I wonder, is this
The way life's meant to be.

Although it's only a day since I was taken away
And left standing here looking in wonder,
The ground at my feet feet maybe it's just the old street
But everything that I know lies under,
And when I see what they've done to this place that was home,
Shame is all that I feel,
And I wonder, yes I wonder, is this
The way life's meant to be.

Too late, too late to cry, the people say,
Too late for you, too late for me,
You've come so far now you know everything my friend
Just look and see the wonders of our world.

As I wander around this wreck of a town
Where people never speak aloud,
With it's ivory towers and it's plastic flowers
I wish I was back in 1981
Just to see your face, instead of this place
Now I know what you mean to me,
And I wonder, yes I wonder, is this
The way life's meant to be.

One day, I gotta get out of here,
I gotta make everything clear,
I gotta see you.

I know, the way that I feel is wrong, so wrong.
But I gotta carry on, when you ain't around.

I believe things are going wrong,
And the night goes on and on,
All your dreams have flown away,
And the sun won't shine today.

*The lights go down,
The lights go down,
The lights go down and there's no one around.

I know, you're waiting so close to me,
But how will you ever see, as time rolls away,
Lonely, but tryin' to be so proud,
And just as I turn around, the lights go down.

I believe things are going wrong,
And the night goes on and on,
All your dreams have flown away,
And the sun won't shine today.

*Repeat

I wait till everyone's asleep
Then out into the night I creep
No one can see me now
Or hear me running, soundlessly

The moon's the only light I need
To search for food, young ones to feed
But as the dawn is drawing near the earth, my way's not clear
I'm trapped on the outside

Moonlight save me, moonlight save me
Moonlight save me, moonlight save me

Unearthly fear, it grips my skin
Unearthly sound, the hunt begins
I hear excited cries
But dare not look from where I'm hiding

The multi-coloured humans ride
Soon they will find me where I hide
The brown and white tormentors
Begin to howl and then I'm running

Moonlight save me

I cut across the trail I left five miles before
One chance to throw them off my scent but I'm not sure
An elder told me it had worked sometime before

My heart is beating like a drum
I make the ridge, but can't go on
I turn to face my death
But nothing comes to stop me breathing

Down in the clearing now I see
They're searching all around for me
Confusion everywhere
But I am safe up here, I've won, I've won, I've won, I've won, I've won

I see the early glow, I hear you say hello
I watch the shadows fall, I don't see you at all

It's a lie (I don't believe it's so), it's a lie

I see the autumn rain, falling on my window pane
I hear you say goodbye, I see a tear in your eye

It's a lie (I don't believe it's so), it's a lie
Our love couldn't go wrong, how could I know I was only dreaming
And now, now that you're gone, I will go on really believing
I take the fall

I see you slip away, into another day
There's no-one else around, I watch the sun go down

It's a lie (I don't believe it's so), it's a lie
Our love couldn't go wrong, how could I know I was only dreaming
And now, now that you're gone, I will go on really believing
I take the fall

I take the fall

I see you in a dream, you turn and start to go
I call to you once more, guess that I'm takin' the fall

It's a lie (I don't believe it's so), it's a lie
Our love couldn't go wrong, how could I know I was only dreaming
And now, now that you're gone, I will go on really believing
I take the fall

Our love couldn't go wrong, how could I know I was only dreaming
And now, now that you're gone, I will go on really believing
I take the fall

Monday:Late again,today,he'd be in trouble though
he'd say he was sorry,he'd have to hurry out the bus.

Tuesday:Horace was so sad,he'd never had a girl that he
could care for,and if he was late once more,he'd be out.


*Don't be afraid,just knock on the door,
Well he just stood there mumblin' and fumblin'.
Then a voice from above said--
"Horace Wimp,this is your life,
Go out and find yourself a wife.
Make a stand and be a man,
And you will have a great life plan."

Wednesday:Horace met a girl,she was small and she
was very pretty,he thought he was in love,he was afraid.

Thursday:Asks her for a date,the cafe down the street
tomorrow evening,his head was reeling,
when she said "Yes O.K."

*Repeat

Friday:Horace,this is it,he asks the girl if maybe they
could marry,when she says "gladly." Horace cries.

Sunday:Everybody's at the church,when Horace
rushes in and says "Now here come my wife,
for the rest of my life." and she did.

*Repeat

"Do you remember," you said to me,
"That you would wait, wait for me eternally?"
I've been wondering, and I've been hoping
You're still the same, only you can say
I'll be so glad to be back with you
I'll do anything you want me to.

That's what I want, I'll be so happy, back home.

I see your light shine in my window
And I know I am coming home
And as the light grows, grows ever brighter
I see your face, you are alone
And when I tell you all the things I have seen
You'll say that, darling, you must have been dreaming.

That's what I want, I'll be so happy, back home.

Electric visions have crossed, strange decisions have crossed
I thank the stars above me, I have someone to love me
That's what I want, I'll be so happy, back home.

Believe me, baby, when I say
I wish I never, never, never, never, never be away
For the things that I see
Be meant for the eyes of a time
And when we walk alone together
That's how I want it to be, want it to be forever.

That's what I want, I'll be so happy
That's what I want, I'll be so happy
That's what I want, I'd be so happy, back home.

My Lord King:
You stoop to betray your own people
And even in the eyes of God do you not relent
I am therefore bound by no other course,
I shall raise an army

Together we will march against you and your kind
And every born man will fight
To regain his own freedom

And cleanse his retched soul
Arise! Arise!

Hellohow are you
Have you been alright, through all those lonely nights,
That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything,
If you'd pick up that telephone.


Heyhow you feelin'

The stars that shine so brightly
They call to me
I dream of how it might be
Somewhere far away

Chorus:
Take me on and on
Until the world has gone
Take me on and on

The chains that hold you
Those chains will soon be gone
Sail upon the ocean
Sail back to me

Repeat Chorus:

Take me on, on and on
I see it all below
I know which way to go
I see the afterglow

Repeat Chorus

When the day is done
And there's nowhere to run
And the people of the city
Have all lost and won,
In your city dress,
You stand and stare
And you smoke another cigarette
And comb your hair
And the light that shines
Paints a trace of sadness
On the street, I wait,
I can't seem to get to you.

Well, you start to sway,
Check your Cartier
'Cause it's getting late,
You can't afford to wait,
So you move along
Where it's going on
And the people of the night
Are playing 'till the dawn
And the sun that shines
Paints a trace of sadness
In your eyes that cry,
Wishin' and hopin'.

Sweet, sweet is the night,
Now you are near.
Dark, dark were the days,
They disappear.
Sweet, sweet is the night,
Now you are near.

Well, you did your thing
And you lost your wings
And you hurt so bad
You lost everything
And the tears that fall
On the city wall
Will fade away with
The rays of morning light
That shines
Paints a smile across
Your pretty face
I know
Everything is alright, alright.

Sweet, sweet is the night,
Now you are near.
Dark, dark were the days,
They disappear.
Sweet, sweet is the night,
Now you are near.

(Sweet is the night)

Sweet, sweet is the night,
Now you are near.
Dark, dark were the days,
They disappear.
Sweet, sweet is the night,
Now you are near.

(Now you are near)

When the day is done
And there's nowhere to run
And the people of the city
Have all lost and won,

Sweet, sweet is the night,
Now you are near.

(Now you are near)

When all the thrills have been forgotten
The chill of night can call them home
And all the dreams that you left stranded
Will slowly start to come along

I felt it as she slipped away, slipped away
I didn't have the words to say
When I saw the stranger
A stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street

You can go straight as an arrow
You can go straight as you dare
Walkin' the old straight and narrow
Don't always get you there

The sun was shining when I saw it all
She was moving to a different beat
When I met a stranger
A stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street

It came to me out of the blue, out of the blue
There came the moment that I really knew
When I met a stranger
A stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street

Stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street, on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street

On a cold and windy morning, said goodbye to my old friends
They were hangin' around the corner,
They were stayin' till the end

On the other side of midnight,
I was lookin' for a place to stay
And one thing's sure for certain,
I ain't never goin' back again

The streetlights looked so pretty as they spread into a town
I was lookin' for another sundown
And my head was spinning round and round

Chorus: Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger
Lookin' through the eyes of danger
Lookin' at the all-night dancer
Never takin' all the chances

As I walked into the main street, saw a crowd across the square
And I heard a guitar playin' and I saw you standing there

Chorus

Distant bells they started ringing, somewhere far off in the night
And the place was full of loneliness that disappeared from sight

On a cold and windy morning, said goodbye to my old friends
They were hangin' around the corner,
They were stayin' till the end
On the other side of midnight,
I was lookin' for a place to stay
And one thing's sure for certain,
I ain't never goin' back again
The streetlights looked so pretty as they spread into a town
I was lookin' for another sundown
And my head was spinning round and round

*Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger
Lookin' through the eyes of danger
Lookin' at the all-night dancer

Never takin' all the chances
As I walked into the main street, saw a crowd across the square
And I heard a guitar playin' and I saw you standing there

Distant bells they started ringing, somewhere far off in the night
And the place was full of loneliness that disappeared from sight

Pack up all your things,
We're gonna be leavin'
Sooner than I thought.
Take the things you bought,
Clouds are gathering.

Say goodbye to all your friends,
We're gonna be sorry.
For a while, that's how it goes,
But then again, who knows
About the rain?

I'm steppin' out, I'm moving on,
I'm gonna see the world
Like a rolling stone,
I'm steppin' out.
I'm gonna be somebody...
Ooh, I'm steppin' out.

Did you hear what he said?
He said they sold me down the river.
They thought I thought I was a fool,
They said the rain would fall.
What did they know?

Then I saw your face,
Heard the song that you were singin'.
Though I thought I knew the words,
The tune was quite absurd
And out of key.
Doo dah dah dee.

I'm steppin' out, I'm moving on,
I'm gonna see the world
Like a rolling stone,
I'm steppin' out.
I'm gonna be somebody...
Ooh, I'm steppin' out.

I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out.

Steppin' out,
Steppin' out,
Steppin' out.

Don't know where I'm going,
Gonna see the world,
Gonna be somebody...
Don't know where I'm going,
I'm just steppin' out,
I'm steppin' out,
I'm steppin' out.

Pack up all your things,
We're gonna be leavin'
Sooner than I thought.

I was goin' round the world,
I was looking for somewhere,
I was searchin' for someone,
Who was gonna take me there,

Didn't want to do it, 'cos I knew what I'd find,
You're really only livin' in a state of mind,

I was thinkin' of the past,
I was tryin' to wrack my brain,
I was looking at the future,
I was trying to play the game,

Didn't want to do it, 'cos I knew what I'd find,
You're really only livin' in a state of mind,

Sometimes you get lost; sometimes you get found,
In a state of mind,
Sometimes you're too high; sometimes you're too down,
It's just a state of mind,

Didn't want to do it, 'cos I knew what I'd find,
You're really only livin' in a state of mind,

Sometimes you get lost; sometimes you get found,
In a state of mind,
Sometimes you're too high; sometimes you're too down,
It's just a state of mind,

You think you know it all,
Then you think that you know nothing,
Can't dance; can't crawl,
Maybe you better forget it,

Didn't want to do it, 'cos I knew what I'd find,
You're really only livin' in a state of mind.

Starlight, I hear you callin' out to me.
Sweet love rollin' across my mind again.
I want you, yes, I do, I need you, yes, I do.
And then you run.

You gotta stop foolin' around,
keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
and starlight will shine all around, little girl.

Starlight, your eyes are lookin' out so far away.
Constellation in the sky is smiling down on me, I wonder, wonder why.
I can feel you're so real, I can see you're so near
and the you run.

You gotta stop foolin' around,
keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
and starlight will shine all around, little girl.
You had me all the summer long, little girl.

Moonglow, come light the way up to my window.
As you roll across the night don't tell noby that I told you so.
I want you, yes, I do, I need you, yes, I do.
And then you run.

You gotta stop foolin' around,
keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
and starlight will shine all around, little girl.
You had me all the summer long, little girl.

Starlight, your eyes are lookin' down on me so far away. (repeat & fade)

(Concerto for a rainy day...)
(Rain...)

I'm standing in the rain
I'm waiting all alone
I'm so tired
I want to go home.

I'm standing in the rain
Getting soaking wet
I'm doing my best
But what do I get?

I'm standing in the rain
Can't seem to get along
People rushing by
Wish they could hear my song.

There's a silence in the city
There's nobody around
And everyone that we knew
Moved to higher ground.
There's a shadow hanging overhead
It lingers there alone
Changing all we ever knew
The changes start to show.:
There's a sorrow about to fall
Th

Night after night, I try to make it all fit together
Night after night, I see you as someone I remember
You took me by surprise, opened up my eyes
Now we gotta talk this over
Can it really be so serious, to be all broken up and delirious
I guess we've really been out of touch, but can it really be so serious


Day after day, I know it's not the way that you wanted it
Day after day, I try to find the key but it don't fit
But you how it is, no matter what I did
We gotta talk it over
Can it really be so serious, to be all broken up and delirious
I guess we've really been out of touch, but can it really be so serious


Tonight, tonight, I'm thinking over everything you said to me
Tonight, tonight, I'm sorry but I just didn't see
And now it's up to you, there's nothing else to do
We've gotta talk it over
Can it really be so serious, to be all broken up and delirious
I guess we've really been out of touch, but can it really be so serious

Night after night, I try to make it all fit together
Night after night, I see you as someone I remember
You took me by surprise, opened up my eyes

Stepping out of the shadows
I'm blinded by the light
there'll be no more wasted days
No more sleepless nights

Stepping out of your shadow
I finally see the light
No more mister nice guy
I'm ready for the fight
Weight off my shoulders
No more tears to cry
The chains are broken now
I see through your disguise

I'm so glad you're gone
So glad you said goodbye
I'm so glad you're gone
So glad you said goodbye
Do you really think I'd just lay down and die

No infatuation
I don't believe your lies
I can see clearly now
The truth behind your eyes
Weight off my shoulders
No more tears to cry
The chains are broken
I see through your disguise

*I'm so glad you're gone
So glad you said goodbye
I'm so glad you're gone
So glad you said goodbye
No more angry words, no chance for you to lie
Did you really think I'd just lay down and die

Passion fades away
Love can turn to hate
And all the words I want to say
Are left in the hands of fate

*Repeat

Two drifters on the morning sky,
Two drifters sailing wide and high,
When summer breezes blow across your mind,
With you, I will walk the line.

CHORUS
I want it so fine

People walking hand in hand,
Everybody's singing to the band,

And hear sweet music on a summer night.

Sundowners we'll go on and on,
We'll find the land of the midnight sun,
And when you look you'll see for miles around,
You'll see, the world is in your hand.

Although the things you've done I wouldn't criticize.

Though everybody said you'll soon forget her.
Thay couldn't see and they just didn't understand.
And lookin' in the mirror there were fools at either hand.

Can you understand.(Yes I understand) Can you feel it's right.
(I know it is) Will you be the same.(I'll do it all again).

How many days had I been waiting there to tell you.

Sitting here, waiting for,
Someone calling at my door,
Too bad,
I'm getting out of love.

What's the use of changing things,
Wonder what tomorrow brings,
Who knows,
I'm getting out of love.

CHORUS
My Shangri-la has gone away,
Faded like the Beatles on Hey Jude
She seemed to drift out on the rain
That came in somewhere softly from the blue

Clouds roll by and hide the sun,
Raindrops fall on everyone,
So sad,
I'm getting out of love.

The sun still shines way up above
But it don't matter now because the dream is gone
The dream is just a memory
If you see my dream, send it back home to me
The stars still glow up in the night
But somehow they don't seem so bright
The dream is gone, the d

A moving stream of information
That is floating on the wind
The secrets never end
And now they call,
They sing, they play, they dance
For you, from out of the blue,
What can you do?

Chorus:
The secret messages are calling to me endlessly
They call to me across the air
The messages across the atmosphere
They whisper in your ear, they're calling everywhere

Where words cascade like rainbows tumbling from the sky
Then I'll be there, I'll be there
When messages will call to you their secrets all around
Without a sound, they're all around

Chorus:
Those secret messages that spill into the air from far away
So far away
A flowing river of illusion running with confusion
Never gone - it goes on and on

Repeat Chorus

I don't know, I don't know what's on your mind
I thought everything was fine, but it was my surprise
I don't know, I don't know what's going on
Something surely must be wrong, you're living secret lives
Living secret lives, secret lives
And I wonder where

I will light your way tonight
I'll love you second time around
Come with me, I'll show you all
I'll love you second time around.

And the singers in the chorus all got off on singing blues,
And as the night grew older everybody was

Just to hear the opera singer singin' rock & roll so pure,

Feel that rhythm and
it's really gonna thrill your soul
She said come along with me,
to a land of make believe
She said rock 'n' roll is king

She loves that rock 'n' roll
and she plays it all night long
That's all she ever tells me when
I call her on the telephone
She says feel that jumpin' beat,
and git up on your feet
She says rock 'n' roll is king

* Oh let those guitars play
Play for me play for me
Oh let that song ring out
That's how it's meant to be

It rolls like a train that's comin'
on down the track
She rolled over Beethoven
and she gave Tchaikovsky back
She loves that drivin' beat,
she goes dancin' on down the street
She said rock 'n' roll is king

* Repeat

When she comes around
and I'm listenin' to the radio
She says you can't do that 'cause
all I wanna do is rock 'n' roll
Now here I'm gonna stay where
that music starts to play
She says rock 'n' roll is king

Listen everybody let me tell you
'bout the rock 'n' roll
Feel that rhythm and it's really
gonna thrill your soul
She said come along with me,
to a land of make believe
She said rock 'n' roll is king

She loves that rock 'n' roll
and she plays it all night long
That's all she ever tells me when
I call her on the telephone
She says feel that jumpin' beat,
and git up on your feet
She says rock 'n' roll is king

Chorus: Oh let those guitars play
Play for me play for me
Oh let that song ring out
That's how it's meant to be

It rolls like a train that's comin'
on down the track
She rolled over Beethoven
and she gave Tchaikovsky back
She loves that drivin' beat,
she goes dancin' on down the street
She said rock 'n' roll is king

Chorus

When she comes around
and I'm listenin' to the radio
She says you can't do that 'cause
all I wanna do is rock 'n' roll
Now here I'm gonna stay where
that music starts to play
She says rock 'n' roll is king

Early in the morning,
The sun was up and the sky was very blue.
Without a warning,
As I looked out, my thoughts returned to you.
A noise in the city made the children run,
And hide themselves away,
And thunder boomed and lightning filled the sky.

Looking from this window,
A thousand rivers running past my door.
Standing on an island, looking for someone
Upon the shore,
I can see it very clearly nothing's really changed,
Then lightning strikes across an empty sky.

*Ooh - the rain is falling,
Ooh - the rain is falling,
Ooh - the rain is falling,
Will it wash away the lonely tears.

With their brand new time transporter,
They'll think maybe I fought to get away.
But with all their great inventions,
And all their good intentions here I stay.
Down on the corner where the sun had shone,
The people gathered 'round,
Then scattered as the raindrops hit the ground,

*Repeat

(Rain, rain, go away, come again another day)

Ooh, the rain is falling
Ooh, the rain is falling
Ooh, the rain is falling
Will it wash away the lonely tears?

(It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring)

Ooh, the rain is falling
I said, ooh, the rain is falling
Ooh, rain keeps on falling, falling
Will it wash away the lonely tears?

Queen of the hours lies waiting for the wind to blow away the veil of time
Slowly now the threads of age are starting to unwind

(Chorus:)
Queen of the hours
Along, Along, Along the path of time, of time,
She is still
The clock shall tell the tale
When all is well, is well.

Black was the night that came in from the East and caused the land to sleep.
Riding on a storm, it carved a message in Isabella Creek.

(Chorus)

Dawn is the death wish night has passed away, it left the sacred flower,
Opened up the grave and bowed its life unto the Queen of Hours

Queen of the hours lies waiting for the wind to blow away the veil of time
Slowly now the threads of age are starting to unwind

(Chorus:)
Queen of the hours
Along, Along, Along the path of time, of time,
She is still
The clock shall tell the tale
When all is well, is well.

Black was the night that came in from the East and caused the land to sleep.
Riding on a storm, it carved a message in Isabella Creek.

(Chorus)

Dawn is the death wish night has passed away, it left the sacred flower,
Opened up the grave and bowed its life unto the Queen of Hours
