Bird Of Prey (Box/Byron/Newton)
I can see that look that says beware Try to move in closer if you dare So I must sit and play my waiting game And for a while I know she'll do the same Fly away
Watches like an eagle from its eerie Then like a bird of prey she captures me But I am older and more wise than you Bird of prey straight into me you flew Fly away
Now every time I've tried to set her free I'm glad to say she comes right back to me But if I knew she didn't want to stay I wouldn't try to keep that lovely bird of prey
The Park (Hensley)
Let me walk a while alone Among the sacred rocks and stones Let me look in vain belief Upon the beauty of each leaf
There is green in every glade The tree tops been providing shade They go spinning happy sound All nature's strength around
And there's a horse that feels no pain Its iron strength to take the strain Children rock it to and fro And gaily trim its coloured brow
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Above the sky devoid of cloud Think not to cast a thunder shroud Upon this place so full of joy A field of gold of love's employ
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
So why my heavy heart you say When tears would stain the sights so gay My brother's dreams once here did soar Until he died at the hand of needless war
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Time To Live (Box/Byron/Hensley)
Let me see the sunshine Let me feel the rain Let me go where I want to go I want to smell the flowers See the dawn again Find those friends I used to know Find those friends I used to know
Well I spent twenty long years In a dirty old prison cell I never saw the light of day If you could understand oh That kind of living hell That's the price I have to pay Oh Yeah That's the price I have to pay Oh Yeah, oh oh
They said I killed a man But I never told them why So you can guess what I've been through So for twenty long years I've been thinking of that other guy And what I saw him do to you What I saw him do to you
Listen here So if tomorrow comes And I walk outside that door Try to understand the strain But if you smile that smile I know I couldn't ask for more I know I'd do it all again Yes I would I know I'd do it all again Yeah yeah yeah yeah oh yeah Do it all again Do it all again
Lady In Black (Hensley)
She came to me one morning One lonely Sunday morning Her long hair flowing in the midwinter wind I know not how she found me For in darkness I was walking And destruction lay around me From a fight I could not win
Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh
She asked me name my foe then I said the need within some men To fight and kill their brothers Without thought of love or God And I begged her give me horses To trample down my enemies So eager was my passion To devour this waste of life
Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh
But she wouldn't think of battle that Reduces men to animals So easy to begin And yet impossible to end For she's the mother of all men Who counselled me so wisely then I feared to walk alone again And asked if she would stay
Oh lady lend your hand outright And let me rest here at your side Have faith and trust in peace she said And filled my heart with life
There's no strength in numbers Have no such misconception But when you need me Be assured I won't be far away
Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh
Thus having spoke she turned away And though I found no words to say I stood and watched until I saw Her black cloak disappear My labour is no easier But now I know I'm not alone I'll find new heart Each time I think upon that windy day
And if one day she comes to you Drink deeply from her words so wise Take courage from her as your prize And say hello from me
Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh
High Priestess (Hensley)
You, who brought the sunshine to my eyes You, who wondered through my sad disguise And I have a love that can not die... for you
High Priestess of my heart Tell me that we won't part
Then let's get together in the sky To leave the lonely world to wonder why For we have a love that cannot die... so true
High priestess of my heart Tell me that we won't part
Salisbury (Box/Byron/Hensley)
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!
Simon The Bullet Freak (Hensley)
Greater than to face it, give me your money Make my life sunny for a day Road that leads to nowhere, please stop your crying I ain't fit for dying this way Go steal another with your eye Go try some other heartless lie
Now I have hope of speaking, bring back the moon Don't play your silly games with me Oh what a waste of daydream. What is your need I'm gonna bleed until you pay You've lost all sign of your direction You're only looking for the next one The next one to kill
Ashes of destruction spread out so far Blackened nurses crying over me See a one time city, now just a scar Tears of the flower man fill the sea Give me a chance to fly away There's nothing here for me today Today
