It Takes a Woman’s Love (to Make a Man) Lyrics
4 ContributorsIt Takes a Woman’s Love (To Make a Man) LyricsLate every night when I am all alone
I call my baby on the telephone
If she was here she'd treat me right
And love me, love me through this lonely night
Oh, I remember how her love can be
I can't forget the way she looks at me
She tells me as she took my hand
It takes a woman's love to make a man
We’re here and there tryin’ to sell a song
Been on this road for much too long
All day, all night, it's drivin' me insane
I don't know when I'll see her face again
I know it’s what I’ve got to do
And I love her ’cause she knows it too
She surely made me understand
It takes a woman's love to make a man
Takes a woman's love to make a man
It takes a woman's love to make a man
It takes a woman's love to make a man
It takes a woman's love to make a man
To make a man yeah
To make a man
I give her love 'cause what else can it be?
I give to her just what she wants from me
She’ll love me hard, she’ll love me right
She’ll love me love me through this lonely night
Then happiness we'll surely know
Until again it will be time to go
Oh, she loves me like nobody can
I know that women made me understand
It takes a woman's love to make a man
I know that women made me understand
It takes a woman's love to make a man
Two Cents Worth Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I've been drinkin' again
And I know it's a sin
But I just can't refuse an old friend
Cause life is gettin' me down
And I've been two times around
And there ain't nothing but pain around the bend
[Chorus]
I'm not made for the time
I'm born in the wrong century
There's too much craziness here
In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes
[Verse 2]
Now this old world is a fright
You know my future ain't bright
And I'd just crawl in a hole if I could
Or maybe live out in space
Or some other far away place
And not come back to this Earth till it's good
[Chorus]
Oh, but I'm dreaming again
I know that I'm here till the end, and what a long time
There's too much craziness here
In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes
Oh yeah
[Verse 3]
Well, you might think that I'm wrong
The things I say in this song
I really wish I could see it your way
But there's a storm rollin' in
And it just might be the end
So I'm praying we'll all get away
[Chorus]
Now my cup's running dry
The weight of the world gets me down
There's way too much craziness here
In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes
Oh yeah
There's nowhere to turn
So I'll just have to learn not to cry, no more
It's all I can do till we find something new
But I'll get by, you know I'll try
In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes
Icarus—Borne on Wings of Steel Lyrics
[Instrumental]
Floating on the clouds of amber
Searching for the rainbow's end
Earth so far below me, I'm here alone
And I won't come down no more
Sail on, sail on
I will rise each day to meet the dawn
So high, so high
I've climbed the mountains of the sky
Without my wings
You know, I'd surely die
I found my freedom flying high
I've climbed the mountains of the sky
All the World Lyrics
[Instrumental Break]
[Keyboard Solo]
Ooooooh
Aaaaaaah
Ooooooh Aaaaaaaah
Can I have time? Is it right what I feel?
At times I doubt what I normally know is real
But right now I don't know what to do
And it's all because of you
I could tell you if I knew that you'd believe
As slight and elusive as life sometimes is
Right or wrong as we both know we all can be
I could never have denied that I need you by my side
'Cause without you life don't seem that much to me
I can see an old man cry, it's his time to die
And life no longer gives him any breaks
He hasn't got a home, no one to call his own
Still he tells no one that it is more than he can take
Until the time is so unkind, an empty future plays in your mind
When the darkness cries out to you, can you escape it?
What can you do?
Oh, what can you do?
All the world's forgetting the hate that filled our hearts
The times of selfish reasoning that keeps us all apart
This world was meant to share, let them know you care
By making someone's life worth living
All the world's believing that this feeling's got to stay
Till all the world is living (Ooooooooh)
Till all the world is giving (Oooooooooh)
Till all the world is loving every day (Ooooooooh)
Child of Innocence Lyrics
5 ContributorsChild of Innocence LyricsSweet child of innocence
Living in the present tense
Father Time will take his toll
Rack your body and steal your soul
What became of all the years
Are you drowning in your tears
Who will catch you when you fall
Who will hear you when you call
I will comfort you, take your hand and see you through
I will take you through the door
Who do you think you are
Try to live forever and you won't get far
I wait behind your door
Makes no difference if you're rich or poor
Though you're weary and afraid
Still you try to flee my blade
Come and walk in my new land
If you'll only take my hand
I will comfort you, take your hand and see you through
I will take you through the door
In the image of those who have walked before me here
I am cast in the web of an ancient spell
I'm holding on to life, I'm drifting in the stream
Everything's much clearer now
We live within a dream and never wake
No we never wake!
Judge not by what you see
More than you can count are here with me
Give up your foolish pride
All that walk the earth have died!
What became of all the years
Are you drowning in your tears
Who will catch you when you fall
Who will hear you when you call
I will comfort you, take your hand and see you through
I will take you through the door
I will comfort you, take your hand and see you through
I will take you through the door
It’s You Lyrics
3 ContributorsIt’s You LyricsGive me your answer let me know today
I'm searching in wonder you're making me pay
I need you 'cause my life's turning grey
Oh, it's you, Oh I'm blue
You left a message to say you had fled
Couldn't believe that you wrote what I read
I couldn't count all the times I have said
Oh, it's you, Oh I'm blue
Love make my day
Show me the way
Love make my day
Show me the way
Give me your answer let me know today
I'm searching in wonder you're making me pay
I need you 'cause my life's turning grey
Oh, it's you, Oh I'm blue
Mysteries and Mayhem Lyrics
6 ContributorsMysteries and Mayhem LyricsWell I'm trying to tell you about a thing I thought I saw
It came to me in a dream one night
When a voice began to call
I heard my name being summoned as I looked around to see
A hooded judge and jury
There was no mercy there for me
Well I can't make it, I just can't figure it out
This dream is drivin' me crazy
I gotta know what it's all about
The mark is upon me, and the mark of Cain brings fear
A cold wind's blowin' right down my back
I'm runnin, I'm runnin' from a figure that's dressed in black
I think my legs are made out of lead
Cause I'm runnin' but I'm getting nowhere
The bad dream is coming closer and closer
I got a feelin' he'll always be there
Forever is a long time to spend in agony
And the demons of confusion have got a place for me
The mark is upon me, and the mark of Cain brings fear
I was tired, so tired of runnin'
I had to turn and look around
I saw eyes that looked right through me
And a voice that made no sound
My body froze and I stood and stared, unearthly face before me
From the depths of a hooded nightmare, I saw what could not be
Mysteries and mayhem from the pinnacle I see
There's no answer when there's no question
The mark of Cain bears hard on me
The Pinnacle Lyrics
[Verse 1: Steve Walsh]
I've so much to say, and yet I cannot speak
Come and do my bidding now, for I have grown too weak
My weary eyes have seen all that life can give
Come to me, O young one, for you I can forgive
[Chorus: Walsh]
I stood where no man goes
And conquered demon foes
With glory and passion
No longer in fashion
The hero breaks his blade
[Verse 2: Walsh]
Cast this shadow long that I may hide my face
And in this cloak of darkness the world I will embrace
[Chorus: Walsh]
In all that I endure
Of one thing I am sure
Knowledge and reason
Change like the season;
A jester's promenade
[Bridge: Robby Steinhardt, Walsh]
Lying at my feet I see the offering you bring
The mark of Cain is on our faces, borne of suffering
O, I long to hear you say it's not been wrong
I stand before you now, a riddle in my song
The answer is that sweet refrain
Unheard it always will remain
Beyond our reach, beyond our gain
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3: Walsh]
Trapped in life's parade, a king without a crown
In this joy of madness, my smile might seem a frown
With talons wrought of steel, I tore the heart of doom
And in one gleaming moment I saw beyond the tomb
[Chorus: Walsh]
I stood where no man goes
Above the din I rose
Life is amusing
Though we are losing
Drowned in tears of awe
