I see you running, don't know what you're running from
Nobody's coming, what'd you do that was so wrong?
Look back and turn back, look at yourself
Don't be afraid just look at yourself.
If you need assistance or if all you need is love
There's no point in hiding, tell me what you're frightened of
You've got a friend, just look at yourself
Don't be afraid, just look at yourself.
Look back and turn back, look at yourself
Don't be afraid just look at yourself.
As I wake up every day with no new songs to play
Feeling like I ought to pack my bag and run
My imagination flies to some other sunny skies
Where I felt so good and everything was done
And my time was my own, and my heart felt so free.
Come On!
I don't mind a little rain, but it doesn't seem the same
When the clouds shut out your beauty from my eyes
There's a storm inside my head and I know it doesn't lead
To a clearer a day when nobody will cry
I can't stand here alone, and I need to be free...
Free!
So bring fire and bring steel for you know the way I feel
Bring a silver horse to carry me away
I'm no stranger, I'm a friend and my pain will never end,
'Til the world will let us live our lives as one
And our time is our own, and our hearts can be free.
I wanna be free, I wanna be free, I wanna be free, I wanna be free
I wanna be free, I wanna be free, I wanna be free, I wanna be free
There I was on a July morning
Looking for love,
With the strength of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun
At the sound of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm and the night behind me
And a road of my own
With the day came the resolution
I'll be looking for you
La la la la...
I was looking for love in the strangest places
There wasn't a stone that I left unturned
I must have tried more than a thousand faces
But not one was aware of the fire that burned
In my heart, In my mind, In my soul
La la la la...
In my heart, In my mind, In my soul
La la la la...
La la la la...
There I was on a July morning
Looking for love,
With the strength of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun
At the sound of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm and the night behind me
And a road of my own
With the day came the resolution
I'll be looking for you
La la la la...
I thought no one could keep us from sharing the rest of our lives
Like a fool I believed you were true and had no disguise
There's a clear blue sky outside
And the summer is fine
But with tears in my eyes I'm
No longer pretending you're mine
It's the same weary story of a woman abusing her man
So I have to forget your though I'm not even sure if I can
There's a clear blue sky outside
And the summer is fine
But with tears in my eyes I'm
No longer pretending you're mine
It's the same ugly story of a woman abusing her man
So I have to forget your though I'm not even sure if I can
There's a clear blue sky outside
And the summer is fine
But with tears in my eyes I'm
No longer pretending you're mine
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
So you think you found a way of living
That prevents you losing any sleep
Well my friend take this that I am giving
It's your piece of mind you oughta keep
You'll run into trouble, for sure
By living behind a locked door
Will you run the risk of being taunted
By doing what you want to do
Or do you prefer to have your whole life haunted
By the ones who choose to care for you?
Beware of their motives, my friend
Take care you're still there at the end
Watch out for winter, it'll bite you with cold
Black spirits trying hard to bribe you with gold
Would you steal a nickel from a blind man?
Well right now I do believe you would
It's not the thought of you doing it that hurts me
It's the mind behind it that's no good
If this is your way I don't want to know
There's only so far I can go
I won't go no further not for you or anyone
I have my own ideas of what should be done
What should be done
What should be done
What should be done
Lovely little lady
You've got me on the run
You're a love machine and you say that I'm your gun
But I don't care 'cause I've got to know
You said you were a loser
The kind that came off worse
So I had to try hard to satisfy your thirst
But I don't care 'cause I've got to know
The only time she's happy
Is when the bullets fly
And she'll make you feel you're better than any other guy
But I don't care 'cause I've got to know
Lovely little lady
You've got me on the run - yeah
You're a love machine and you say that I'm your gun
But I don't care 'cause I've got to know
Will I never see again
The smiling faces of my friends
Could it be they've gone completely
And though thoughts will linger
Sweetly in my heart
May I hear once more
The bird calls my name
May I be permitted just one friend
To share my game
The one who doesn't give a damn
For what I seem to be
And really cares for what I am and
What's within my heart
I believe the sun will shine
And I know that given time
The leaves will blow tumble and
Cry upon the autumn stone below
And my heart grows tired each day
As the sun grow cold
Weary uninspired each day
Til the story is told
You gave your love to one
Who only wants what you seem to be
And doesn't really care for you or
What's within your heart
On my grave lay one black rose
Do this for me but don't suppose
Because I'm gone, my soul is dead
For I'll be here in spirit
And our love once more
There must be a heart somewhere
In need of the love I have
That will reach out in sincerety and
Take my life in hand
Then I'll know it's not some one
Who wants just what I seem to be
The one who cares for what I am and
What's within my heart
What's within my heart ...
Thought of no tomorrow
The pain, tears and sorrow
And you never told me why
The way you cheated
And mistreated
You could never tell me why
But I'm gonna find out
I'm gonna find out
What's been messing up your mind
Messing up your mind
Is there any true reason
Or anything I can explain
Can't we talk about it baby
Get together again
You see I have the feeling
That this isn't the end
And I feel it knowing
On you I depend
I'm gonna find out
Yeah, I'm gonna find out
What has been messing up your mind
Perhaps it's best for us
To stay together
And try to live our lives as one
And maybe we will find
We're still together
To watch the setting of the sun
