Where Were You
I'm down on my luck, out on the street
waiting for your love to lift me up
My friends say wait but it's getting very late
how much more can one man take
you said our love would last forever but we just
couldn't take that step, I knew the answer
when you turned and walked away
where were you when I needed you, when I
wanted you where were you
where were you when I needed you, when I
wanted you where were you
you use the same old lines I've heard a
thousand times but I'm not laughing cause the
joke's on me if the tables turn and you feel
the burn then tell me now what you have learned
you said our love would last forever but we
just couldn't take that step, I knew the
answer when you turned and run away
where were you when I needed you, when I
wanted you where were you
where were you when I needed you, when I
wanted you where were you
(-d. fasano, d. petrucci, r. hertzfeld)
I Can Feel It
Times are changin', got to change my mind
throw old words away, write a brand new line
you can keep the past, cause I know nothing lasts
we reach a dead end street, where those with
vision meet, we pave the road ahead
the dreamers are misled, I know it won't be long
the future's in this song, I can feel it, I can feel it
I can feel it coming on
we learn from our mistakes I guess that's
what it takes, rejection feels the fire
our triumphs take us higher
you can keep the past, cause I know nothing
lasts the choice is all your own but
discontent you've shown, so here's a shot of light
to keep the fire bright, know it won't be long
the future's in this song
(-d. fasano, d. petrucci, r. hertzfeld)
She's Gone
Empty spaces, cold and lonely places
It used to be so warm when she was here
season changes, my whole life rearranges
her reason for leaving comes so clear
nothing stays the same, all at cost and
nothing gained, shadows follow me so long
don't look back, she's gone, she's gone, gone, gone, gone
the love we made out we did top them all we
rocked this house from hall to hall
only an empty bed, a vision in my head
I try and try to dry my tears
nothing stays the same all at costs and nothing's
gained shadows follow me so long, don't look back
she's gone
(-d. fasano, d. petrucci, r. hertzfeld)
Stories
I gaze across an empty room a message
sent from you to me there's a story hidden
in your smile, your eyes reveal a mystery
we understand but never speak no words
could satisfy there's a need to make it all
complete to tell the stories in our eyes
the unseen the unsaid, the things we can't
explain, the unwritten, the unread the
thoughts we must contain it's as clear as
the stories in our eyes, just a fear of the
stories in our eyes, it's as clear as the
stories in our eyes, just a fear of the stories
in out eyes
all alone in a subway car a man is riding home
from work an open door fear runs through his mind
the call it makes him jerk
another rider makes in next to him his eyes
make the command without a single spoken word
the victim throws up his hands
(-d. fasano, d. petrucci, r. hertzfeld)
Pessimistic Man
He'd make a good politician
Don't believe one word he's said
He's just a slave to tradition
Scorning the life that I've led
He tells me that my life
Is like a game of roulette
If I place my chips on black
Don't you know it's bound
To come up red
A pessimistic man
Nothing will ever get better
A pessimistic man
Nobody stands, nobody stands a chance
He's just a singer of sad songs
Singing about his own life
He's pointing his finger
Where good fortune shines it's light
A pessimistic man
Nothing will ever get better
A Pessimistic man
Nobody stands, nobody stands a chance
(-d. fasano, r. sambora)
Swing
I've been sufferin'
Away my time
I ain't got nothin'
To ease this downward slide
I thought I'd be seein'
Some better days by now
Who knows, maybe someday
I'll be the talk of the town
I've been counting the days,
The months, the years
I wish I had a dollar
For every dried up tear
I thought I'd be seein'
Some better days by now
Who knows, maybe someday
I'll be the talk of the town
(-d. fasano)
Lessons
Hearts turning into cold steel
Only through your eyes
Can I see just how you feel
Lies, they've a life that's all
Their own
Plant the seeds of evil
Watch how easily they grow
Waiting as I do
For some news
Of you
At times
There's a lesson to be learned
Don't feel funny honey
When your feelings won't be turned
Love, love has come back
Into play
Comes and goes in stages
Each time different in a way
Waiting as I do
For you
In the loser
There's a lesson to be learned
The loser
He's forever getting burned
The loser
Never feels his title's earned
The loser
(-d. fasano)
It Won't Be Long
Is it real
Or do I have to decide
If by staying with you baby
I'll be swallowing my pride
Tell me, tell me, baby
If by what you're feeling today
I can sing this song a happy man
Or I can leave it by the way, yeah, yeah
It must be the song in your eyes
That came before all the lies
It won't be long you'll see
My babe
Till you belong to me
It won't be long you'll see
My babe
Till you belong to me
Was a time
You said you loved me
Ain't no way you'd ever place
Somebody above me, no
Now those times
Have come and gone girl
Yet I feel it in my heart
You'll be comin' home to me babe
Of my life, you'll be a part, yeah, yeah
It must be the song in your eyes
That came before all the lies
It won't be long you'll see
My babe
Till you belong to me
It won't be ling you'll see
Till you belong to me
(-d. fasano)
Is There Love
I want to be a simple young man
With love in his soul
Sometimes I feel, I'm standing alone
With no love at all
No uncertain future
Looking for the light, faithfully
Do you think there's question
That we just can't see
Is there love
Is there pain and glory
Can your eyes tell me the story
What will be my destiny
Is there love
Someday I know, I'll get the key
That opens the door
And When that day dawns will the questions be done
Or will there be more
I look out my window
Look up to the sky
Will the stars tell my future
Or do they lie
Is there love
Is there pain and glory
Can your eyes tell me the story
What will be my destiny
Is there love
Love is a word, that can't be defined
Though many have tried
To me love's a song that I hear in my soul
That keeps me alive
I await the new day, eager for
The love that it holds
Will time make a judgement
As the curtain unfolds
Is there love
Is there pain and glory
Can your eyes tell me the story
What will be my destiny
Is there love
(-r, sambora)
Any Other Girl
I've been wonderin', what to do
Could it be you just don't feel
The same way I do
Now I've tried hard, not to show
The fear that lives inside me
I can't let you know that, no
Any other girl
And I would leave you
Any other girl
And I would tell you where to go
You made me lay down my defenses
Because I thought that it was love
I took those chances
Now you've foiled me with just one blow
I've held it in so long it's time to
Let you know that, yeah
Any other girl
And I would leave you Any other girl
And I would tell you where to go
You came along with the strength that I needed
You made me strong but I paid the
Price for freedom
Any other girl
And I would leave you
Any other girl
And I would tell you where to go
(-d. fasano, m. marconi, m. terpos, l. terpos)
