Wishbone Ash Classic Ash Lyrics
1.Blind Eye

You turned a blind eye to everything i ever said,
You turned a blind eye to everything i ever did.
You didn't worry, why call your telephone?
You didn't worry, baby,
You're just content to roam around.
Yes, you are.


2.Blowin' Free

I thought i had a girl
And all because i seen her.
I thought i had a girl
And all because i seen her.
Her hair was golden brown (yes it was)
Blowin' free like a cornfield.

She was far away
I found it hard to reach her.
She told me you can try
But it's impossible to find her.

In my dreams everything was all right -
In your schemes you can only try.


3.Outward Bound


4.Persephone

There's a light that shines on persephone,
Always a fire in her eyes,
And the last time that i went to her
I could tell things weren't right.

I just don't care to see your years go wasting,
There's no longer magic in your eyes.

In your time, you could outshine everybody else around,
But your off-stage ways might be a bore -
You take a bow, you take a fall.

I came to be here in the footlights,
To live with you through every song,
And your face displays a peaceful field.
I can't believe the curtain has to fall.

Now i know your years were never wasted,
Tonight i saw the magic in your eyes.

6.Rock 'n Roll Widow

It happened in an open field
Down in a southern state
And no one knows the reason why
Some would say it's hate
They shot the guy who sold the dogs
It came as some surprise
And to a lady standing there
Brought sadness to her eyes

She's a rock and roll widow living in this town
Another rock and roll widow since they gunned him down

The heat of day still hung around
As night began to fall
The sheriff came up from the town
In answer to the call
The band played on in darkness
Not knowing what to do
As people ran from side to side
Just looking for a clue


7.The King Will Come

In the fire, the king will come.
Thunder rolls, piper and drum.
Evil sons, overrun,
Count their sins - judgment comes.

The checkerboard of nights and days -
Man will die, man be saved.
The sky will fall, the earth will pray,
When judgment comes to claim its day.

See the word of the prophet
On a stone in his hand.
Poison pen revelation,
Or just a sign in the sand?

The checkerboard of nights and days -
Man will die, man be saved.
The sky will fall, the earth will pray,
When judgment comes to claim its day.

See the word of the prophet
On a stone in his hand.
Poison pen revelation,
Or just a sign in the sand?


8.The Pilgrim


9.Throw Down The Sword

Throw down the sword,
The fight is done and over,
Neither lost, neither won.
To cast away the fury of the battle
And turn my weary eyes for home.

There were times when i stood at death's own door
Only hoping for an answer.

Throw down the sword,
And leave the glory -
A story time can never change.
To walk the road, the load i have to carry -
A journey's end, a wounded soul.

There were times when i stood at death's own door
Only searching for an answer.
