Chasing Shadows Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Chasing shadows, over my walls
With myself hardly sleeping
Dwarfs and giants, twenty feet tall
Fill the room with their creeping, oh
[Verse 2]
Sounds of breathing sharpen my ears
Then they fade into nothing
Someone's laughter out in the street
Fills the night with their loving
[Chorus]
I feel the ice in my head
Running its hands through my bed
Not even dreaming, I seem to be dead
Colours of yellow and colours of red
[Verse 3]
All I'm asking, some secret voice
Is to lead me to darkness
I'm so tired, dawn never comes
I just lie in the shadows
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
All I'm asking, some secret voice
Is to lead me to darkness
I'm so tired, dawn never comes
I just lie in the shadows
[Chorus]
I feel the ice in my head
Running its hands through my bed
Not even dreaming, I seem to be dead
Colours of yellow and colours of red
[Organ Solo]
Blind Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I see reflections in the water
Autumn colours, summer's daughter
And as as the year is growing older
I see winter on my shoulder
I stand in the haze
Watching stormy ripples grow on my own
Never knew you were needed
'Till I found myself standing here alone
[Verse 2]
And in the water, such a sad face
Slowly drowning, such a sad face
If only I could change the seasons
Like a poet, I've my reasons
It started to snow
In the middle of July, wonder why
Never did understand you
My sorrow is hanging in the grey sky
[Chorus]
In the summer days we flew to the sun
On melting wings
But the seasons change so fast
Leave us all behind
Blind
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
But then the stone fell on the water
Putting end to summer's daughter
And me, I turn away remembering
All the seasons, such a sad thing
It started to rain in the middle of the sun
Winter's begun
Never did understand you
My sorrow is hanging in the grey sky
[Chorus]
In the summer days we flew to the sun
On melting wings
But the seasons change so fast
Leave us all behind
Blind
[Outro]
Lalena Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
When the sun goes to bed
That's the time you raise your head
That's your lot in life, Lalena
Can't blame ya
Lalena
[Verse 2]
Arty-tart, la-de-da
Can your heart get much sadder?
That's your lot in life, Lalena
Can't blame ya
Lalena
[Verse 3]
Run your hand through your hair
Paint your face with despair
That's your lot in life, Lalena
Can't blame ya
Oh, Lalena
[Verse 4]
Run your hand through your hair
Paint your face, paint your face with despair
That's your lot in life, Lalena
I can't blame ya
Oh, Lalena
[Organ Solo]
[Verse 5]
When the sun goes to bed
That's the time you raise your head
That's your lot in life, Lalena
I can't blame ya
Lalena
[Verse 6]
Arty-tart, oh so la-de-da
Can your part ever get, ever get much sadder?
That's your lot in life, Lalena
I can't blame ya
Oh, Lalena
[Outro]
Oh, Lalena
No, no, no, Lalena
I can't blame ya, I can't blame ya, Lalena
Oh, Lalena
So la-de-da
Why Didn’t Rosemary? Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
There's a black hill, we had to climb
Everything I need but nothing's mine
Satan's world, how 'bout a kill?
Why didn't Rosemary ever take the pill?
Laying there waiting, waiting for the kill
Oh, man won't do it but the devil will
[Verse 2]
I'm losing time and my mind
Why can't I have what's naturally mine?
I got life and the thing that goes with it
If there's something else, where can i get it?
Laying there waiting, waiting for the kill
Oh, man won't do it but the devil will
[Organ Solo]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Well here's my views, I always lose
Things I want to do are yesterday's news
Say life's a ball, I've had it all
All out there in another dance hall
Laying there waiting, waiting for the kill
Oh, man won't do it but the devil will
[Verse 4]
Take me as I am, excuse for a man
Wherever I push someone stops my hand
As a matter of interest, tell me if you will
Why didn't Rosemary ever take the pill?
Laying there waiting, waiting for the kill
Oh, man won't do it but the devil will, yeah
[Outro]
Oh, why won't Rosemary take the pill?
Oh no
Why didn't Rosemary ever take the pill the first day?
Oh, lying there waiting, waiting for the kill
I said, " Why didn't Rosemary ever take the pill?"
Bird Has Flown Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Oh, the beggar on his cornerstone
Catches pity in his wrinkled hand
But the lover whose bird has flown
Catches nothing, only grains of sand
[Verse 2]
All the children in the distant house
They have feelings only children know
But the lover whose bird has flown
Catches nothing, only flakes of snow
(Hey)
[Chorus]
The sensation is not new to you
It's something we all have known
You get it, it goes right through you
Yes, it's something we all have known
And the bird, it has flown
To a place on it's own
Somewhere all alone
Hey!
[Verse 3]
Now, the hermit in his lonely cave
Has himself to keep him company
But the lover whose bird has flown
He has heartaches, same as you and me
(Sensation)
[Chorus]
The sensation is not new to you
It's something we all have known
You get it, it goes right through you
Yes, it's something we all have known
And the bird, it has flown
[Verse 4]
Now, the hermit in his lonely cave
Has himself to keep him company
But the lover whose bird has flown
He has heartaches, same as you and me
Oh it's started snowing
Yes, it started snowing
[Guitar Solo]
[Organ Solo]
[Outro]
April Lyrics
[Part I - Guitar and Piano ; 0:00-4:22]
[Part II - Orchestra ; 4:22-8:40]
[Part III - Band ; 8:40-12:10]
[Verse]
April is a cruel time
Even though the sun may shine
And world looks in the shade
As it slowly comes away
Still fall, the April rain
And the valley's filled with pain
And you can't tell if I cry
As I look up to
[Chorus]
The grey sky, where it should be blue
Grey sky, where I should see you
Ask why, why it should be so?
I'll cry, say that I don't know
[Bridge]
Maybe once in a while
I'll forget and I'll smile
But then the feeling comes again
Of an April without end
Of an April lonely as it come
In the dark of my mind
I can see, all too fine
But there is nothing to be done
When I just can't feel the sun
And the springtime is the season of the night
[Chorus]
Grey sky, where it should be blue
Grey sky, where I should see you
Ask why, why it should be so?
I'll cry, say that I don't know
[Outro]
I don't know
