Wishbone Ash Album

I know your name, you told me,
It's a cloak and dagger tune.
Make love to you every full moon, baby,
When the day is through.
Use your magic carefully,
The danger creeps up slow.
Intuition can serve you well,
Or fool you when it's time to go.

Come stealin' like a thief,
Now I'm shakin' like a leaf.
Screamin' out, “t's comin' soon!'
Yeah, yeah, the crescent moon.

Cosmic jazz is all around,
Keeps my feet on the ground.
Overload, shake down,
Gotta go, oh, gotta go.

About this premonition,
It contains a spell.
Stays just like a vision,
Showin he's not doin' well.

Spot carved from a finger,
The witches paint it black.
A wizard tied up by her love,
But now he wants his wallet back.

Been stealin' like a thief,
Now I'm shakin' like a leaf.
Screami' out, It's comin' soon!'
Yeah, yeah, the crescent moon.

Cosmic jazz is all around,
Keeps my face on the ground.
Overload, shake down,
Gotta go, oh, gotta go.

Repeat twice.

Mother 's first look to the eyes of a child
Casts the die of destiny.
It's a perfect life she gives to you,
Not to lose so innocently.
Leading the way, she rises above
Unexpected adversity.
I hear her calling, Keeper of the Light,
The words of warning, thunder in the night.
I hear her calling, guarding what is right.
I see her waiting, Keeper of the Light.

A silhouette on the skyline, a symbol of your liberty,
Protecting time that's passing by,
Mother knows, never lies.
A better life the children will see,
A world of change, full of hope and sympathy.

I hear her calling, Keeper of the Light,
The words of warning, thunder in the night.
I hear her calling, guarding what is right.
I see her waiting, Keeper of the Light.

Repeat

Four ways to the language that seems to confuse me,
I refuse to work inside that cell any more.
I can't see any reason for you to doubt it -
Certain needs of life answer to your call.

Chorus:
Our love is stronger,
Our love is stronger.
I'm waitin' for our love to show,
I'm waitin' for our love to grow.
Waitin' for our love to show,
Waitin' for our love to grow.

Cynics must have their own little reward -
Information shared, heavy as trust.
Wise men have always been our installed radar.
I can take some destined caress for us.

Chorus

People tryin' to guide us into an old scene,
Emotional mortgages at every door.
Searchin' for the joy of every day life -
Is there another future we're tryin' for?

Chorus

Now Susie's old man says,
"I will get a job if I can,
But I'm I proud man,
and there's no one who's willing to pay for what I am."
"But the rent has to be paid,
and day after day we go deeper in debt.
The child has a school and
she can't stick to rules that she does not have".
Chorus:
She says, "I can't walk on water to will,
I'm sinkin' in the real world.
I can't walk on water to will.
Everybody sells themselves,
why don't you do the same?"

Her calm is broken,
and she's tired of toein' the line for you.
You have your conviction,
but does that prevent you from listenin' too?
You say you love her,
but she can't love someone she does not respect.
The psychology is,
you want somethin' bad, you have to go get.

Chorus

He never thought that she would give up and move on,
For he tried so hard to convince her that his love was strong.
Chorus

When lovers walk the streets at night,
They are hand-in-hand, and walk in time.
Lovers fall in love, and realize
Love will always be their mystery.
All the time in the world is theirs,
Take it away, we won't be stripped bare.
Love,
It is cold to me, as the heartbeat chills.
It goes to encounter witness to wonder,
Love.

When lovers leap from cloud to cloud,
They refuse to see the world around.
Locked out of the sight and the surrounding sound,
Love will always be their mystery.
What is love when it's a surprise?
Fall in deep and realize.

Love,
It is cold to me, as the heartbeat chills.
It goes to encounter witness to wonder,
Love.

They were fair and they were blond,
Laughing loud and singing songs,
Hoping for the best in life,
Heading for a paradise.
In the flash of an eye was born,
What would grow to become a storm,
When the fountain of youth was sprung,
Lost and gone, everyone.

In the man is the child alive,
To know and feel how to survive,
But the world was as cold as ice
When they looked for paradise.

Love in hand, the first to fight,
The golden dawn was a nasty sight.
The world turns as cold as ice,
Lost cause in paradise.

They were fair, and they were blond,
Laughing loud and singing songs,
Bit the world was as cold as ice,
Lost cause in paradise.

Why don't we get some answers,
Stop messin' around with our lives?
We hear the same old story, where's the glory?
It's our lives, it's our lives!
Changes are vital, do we care?
It's taken far too long - maybe we're there?
Start walkin' with our time, if you dare.
There is a rightness, yes, everywhere.
Why don't we, why don't we,
Open our eyes?
Why don't we, why don't we,
Change our minds?

Honest and sweet surrender -
Never wanted this illusion
In our lives.
Trials and tribulations,
Familiar conversations,
In our lives, in our lives.
Competing against everyone,
A trap, that, and a snare.
Return to nature, no solution, so beware!

How can it be this way?
Shouldn't be so.
Surviving day after day,
Unwilling to let go.

Why don't we, why don't we,
Share this time?
Why don't we, why don't we,
Open our eyes?

Livin' with a global village,
Aware of the unexpected
In our lives.
Transforming greed and pillage,
Not to be rejected -
It's our lives, it's our lives!

Changes are vital, do we care?
It's taken far too long - maybe we're there?
Stop workin' with our time, if you dare.
There is a rightness, yes, everywhere.

Why don't we, why don't we,
Open our eyes?
Why don't we, why don't we,
Share this time?
Why don't we, why don't we,
Change their minds?
Why don't we, why don't we,
Share our lives?

I made a lot of trouble, crazy runnin' every day -
Left me with a hole in my heart,
Nearly left me with a hole in my head.
I ran away on my lucky day, I left my family adrift.
All my friends give me hard advice,
Said, "somethin' goin' to come to you".
