Heep Song Of The Week |
Salisbury
(Byron/Hensley/Box, from Salisbury, 1971)
Somewhere in your
eyes that very special glow
Something drawing me to where I do not know
I never really thought that I would lose myself
Now I'm going faster than anybody else
You moved without a sound and touched me with your hand
Just like the rains that fondle every grain of sand
This thing we're going to do it's just for you and me
I'm going to make it good, good as it can be, oh
Do it this time with me
You kiss is sweeter now your breath is getting warm
We must take our time last it through til dawn
I wonder will it be oh I expect it to
There have been other girls no one else like you
I feel a power here I never felt before
And I begin to see what draws us to want more
Oh girl of all my dreams please tell me if I'm wrong
Because I've been blue, but we belong, oh
As time passed and all too fast
I knew we couldn't last
And I guessed that the end was near at hand
Though we tried our love inside
I just crumpled up and died
What went wrong I will never understand
You tell me why
Alone again, how could you leave me
Alone again I don't want to be
Alone again, yeah!
There's a line in a rhyme I was going to send to you
It says "All that is to be will surely be"
So though you had to go
Cause you needed someone new
Is there still a chance that you'll come back to me
I want you back you see
Alone again, how could you leave me
Alone again, how could you leave me
Alone again, I don't want to be alone again yeh
Somewhere in your eyes that very special glow
Something drawing me to where I do not know
I never really thought that I would lose myself
Now I'm going faster than anybody else
Oh!
Can't Stop Singing
(Hensley, from High and Mighty, 1976)
I can't stop singing
I can't see the end just a new beginning
As long as I keep on trying
I'll survive just fine
Free to take my time
Ridin' the moon on the midnight sky
I can see through the man who lies with his eyes
And the real thing that's wrong is he has no song to lean on
So I'll take my time just to give you a rhyme
To try to be sure and open the door
'Cause there's much more to life then a day and a night to dream on
I can't stop singing
I can't see the end just a new beginning
As long as I keep on trying
I'll survive just fine
Free to take my time
Now I ain't confessin' to some kind of blessin'
I'm trying to say why I'm happy today
I'm not preachin', teachin', makin' some speech in dedication
'Cause it's no good me saying where the blame should be layin'
For with that kind of reason it comes out the same
With an ear to the ground each day I've found inspiration
Pilgrim
(Hensley/Byron, from Sweet Freedom, 1973)
Pilgrim at the grey
of dawn
Leaving at the mist of morning
On his journey of goodness
Heaven sent, God blessed
Pilgrim laughing at the world
Spreading joy at the touch of his hand
Wiping out all the misery
Making love and history
Those of us who don't know war
Shouldn't try to make it
So many did and even more died
Do you think you could take it
Love lies waiting at my back door
Such a beautiful matter of fact
Life's like an apple with love as the core
And I'll tell you 'bout that
Just a man in my prime
Love was there but I had no time
I was cheered and adored
And I thought fame was all the world
Battles won and victory cheers
Were the sounds I'd heard for years
But the women I really loved
Was losing me to all this blood
I only knew, I had to win and
Build a world where I was king
But leaders come and leaders go
And that's the truth I came to know
Love or war I couldn't choose
And so both I came to lose.
Fools
(Bolder, from Conquest, 1979)
Fools play at games
don't you know that fools play at games
And I know that I'm not afraid of you.
I know the feeling inside has just made up my mind,
I'm gonna take this chance and do what's in my heart,
You always said that you'd stand by me and help me get along.
So understand I must do what's in my heart.
I know this feeling inside has helped me to carry on,
So as the days go by and the nights that never end
You play the clubs and you play the game
The next day you will find
You'll have to try and please that fool again.
Day after day I feel this way that I need to be moving on.
You know I depend on you but don't get me wrong.
I'll throw the dice and play the game and hope we get along.
Even then I won't be fooled again.
So I've heard the words and I've signed my name
But I can't make up my mind
If you really care or you're playing your games.
See the picture in
the hall
Framed in magic on the wall
Ain't it funny how it glows
What's on the inside no one knows
What makes this picture so inviting
To those who stand outside it
Maybe it's the dancers
Or maybe it's the dance
the dancer dances
Thousands fill the gallery
Pay their price to see a dream
They can make believe for free
Two hours' worth of fantasy
Maybe they pretend the picture's them
Or maybe they just love to sit and blend
Maybe it's the dancer
Or maybe it's the dance
the dancer dances
Tonight the picture has no frame
Colours unleash and float away
To each and everyone of you
Tonight the spirit brings the news
You become a part of it all
Thousands turn to one in the hall
You become the dancer
And we become the dance
the dancer dances
