Live Dates Ii

Wishbone Ash Live Dates Ii Lyrics
1.In All My Dreams You Rescue Me

Among the stars on this side of heaven
I lay broken and destroyed.
When people on the earth have cut you down
The sky's the only place to hide.
And as i floated in the moonlit night
You arrived to take me home.
I kissed your hand and i came back to life
And all the wrong became all right.

In all of my dreams
You rescue me
It always seems you rescue me.

I was wandering down endless roads
A fallen angel in the cold.
You appeared before me like a vision
To whisper love i used to know.
So easily you gave to me secret promises
Like only magic words can flow.

In all of my dreams
You rescue me
It always seems you rescue me.


2.Doctor

Doctor can you help me please
I'm laying on the floor
I need a glass of something
Like you gave me once before
I'll send my little messenger
He'll bring the money to you
He'll slowly make his way back home
There'll be no horror show today my friends
And me we'll be up and get away
If i fill your every need
You won't feel so empty
In my web i'll bet your life
You're dead before you're thirty

Doctor can you help me please
I trust you like my mum
I know that you won't stop me turning
All the whole world on
You know that i'll always come to you
When everything goes wrong
You pick me up, don't let me go down
To the horror show today my friend's
And me we'll be up and get away

4.Goodbye Baby, Hello Friend

I'll never write another song
For someone who just comes along -
The very thought of losing you
Is too much for me to.

The other day when you got mad,
It made you happy to see me sad.
I wish to tell you it's still the same,
Still playing that same old game.

It's goodbye baby, hello friend,
It's good to meet you after all this time.
Goodbye baby, hello friend,
It's good to see you again. (repeat)

Those days and nights i lost,
Thinking 'bout what to do -
When all it's really down to, baby,
Is saying that we're through.

So give your love to the birds,
Speaking of four-letter words.
Do you hear what i say to you?
I'm not in love with you.

Goodbye baby, hello friend,
It's good to see you again. (repeat)


5.Helpless

Ooh, there's something happening, ooh.
Ooh, there's something happening, ooh. (repeat)
Won't you take my love forever,
Won't you take my love for you,
Won't you take my love together,
Won't you give me your love too?

I will give you my love gladly
And i hope you'll give me yours.
Somehow we can live together -
Could not love you any more.

I'm so helpless, helpless -
I can feel you're helpless too. (repeat)
I'm so helpless, helpless -
So helpless without you.


6.Living Proof

Why does love have to?
Where does it go to
Outta my door?
How much have you got?
Is it enough for me
Or will i want more?

Oh,oh, you tell me you just want some fun.
Oh, oh, i'm trapped between the fire and the man with the gun.

Time in a vacuum,
Waiting for someone to say what they think.
But all that pretending doesn't convince me
'cause they just want to buy me a drink.

Oh, oh, you tell me you want to be free.
Oh, oh, baby, i'm trapped between the devil and the deep blue
sea.

It's night in the city,
I'm filled with self-pity -
I'm taking the air.
If somebody hits me
Here in this city,
I swear i just don't care.
Oh, oh, just looking for proof.
Oh, oh, i'm trapped like a cat on a hot tin roof.
Oh, oh, just looking for proof.
Oh, oh, i'm trapped like a cat on a hot tin roof.

I got to have proof,
I got to have proof,
I got to have proof,
I got to have proof. (repeat)


7.Lorelei

You shone out of the darkness
The light in your eyes.
I could not help myself
I did not want to try.

Like the singing of the lorelei
Your voice rang clear and true
Mystery and danger was all i got from you.
Oh, you mesmerized me, oh, you tantalized,
Like the singing of the lorelei.

And you knew everything
There was to know about me.

Like the singing of the lorelei
Your voice rang clear and true
Mystery and danger was all i got from you.
Oh, you mesmerized, oh, you tantalized
Like the voice of the lorelei.


8.No Easy Road

Rock 'n roll keeps dragging me
Where i don't know and you can't see
Cities keep rolling by and by
Twist my arm and sting my eye

Watch me join the circus
Watch me steal the show
There ain't no easy money
There ain't no easy road

Buy me, pay me, wonder why we
Stumble across the land
Don't fail for me, i can't fail for you
We start to understand


9.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.


10.Runaway

I thought i had been every place a man could be,
'till i met a lady who brought me to my knees.
The day i stop loving is the day that i die,
But now i'm running from her game 'cause the lady is a lie.

I've got a choice
Run away or be torn to shreds.
I've got a life and i want to live
Don't want to be dead.

I met her down in the underground,
Got a taste of the low life, just creepin' around.
I got what i came for and more, that's for sure,
'cause now i'm running from her game, can't take any more.

I've got a choice
Run away or be torn to shreds.
I've got a life and i want to live
Don't want to be dead.

When i first met you, baby,
I knew you could come on strong.
But when you held a knife to me,
You know, that just ain't too friendly.
I've heard of liberated,
But that's so understated.
I should have listened to them
When they told me you were crazy
And you said i was a runaway.


11.The Way Of The World Pt. 1

Keep the wheels turning
On this lonely road
A slave of mother nature
I've got to get back home
Such a grey coloured nightmare
Of what used to be so good
Dreams and desires
It's the way - the way of the world.

See a light in the distance
Going to show me the way
Another road to be taken
Another stage to be on
Carry me, carry me
A little closer home
Dreams and desires
It's the way - the way of the world.

Stormy weather, take me to
Back where i belong.
At the airport, on the plane,
Now i'm going home.
Takes so long, flying high,
I just love the way of the world.


12.Time Was

I've got to rearrange my life,
I've got to rearrange my world.
I miss you, i need you.

I've got to keep my memories aside,
I've got to try to live again.

Time was when there were things around
To be afraid of.
I've got cause, i've even changed my mind
To turn the tables.

Time was when there was no need to stop
And rearrange it.
Now i've got a memory
And i don't want to change it.

And there's a time for waking up
And feeling down,
It's when you have to pick your feet
Up from the ground.

Time was when i had you around -
I was a strong man.
I need you to help make the change
And be a new man.

Takes more than a day and a night
For giving.
It's not so easy just to change your way
Of living.

Time was when there were things around
To bother me.
The crime was, i couldn't start
To change my history.
