(D. Henley, G. Frey) One of these nights, one of these crazy old nights we're gonna find out, pretty mama, what turns on your lights. The full moon is calling, the fever is high and the wicked wind whispers and moans. You got your demons, you got your desires, well, I got a few of my own. Oh, someone to be kind to in between the dark and the light. Oh, coming right behind you, swear I'm gonna find you one of these nights. One of these dreams, one of these lost and lonely dreams, now, we're gonna find one, mm, one that really screams. I've been searching for the daughter of the devil himself, I've been searching for an angel in white. I've been waiting for a woman who's a little of both and I can feel her but she's nowhere in sight. Oh, loneliness will blind you in between the wrong and the right. Oh, coming right behind you, swear I'm gonna find you one of these nights. ONE OF THESE NIGHTS oh, in between the dark and the light. Coming right behind you, swear I'm gonna find you, get you, baby, one of these nights. ONE OF THESE NIGHTS oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh ONE OF THESE NIGHTS I can feel it, I can feel it ONE OF THESE NIGHTS coming right behind you, swear I'm gonna find you now ONE OF THESE NIGHTS and it's so dark, it's so dark and cold ONE OF THESE NIGHTS one of these crazy crazy crazy nights ONE OF THESE NIGHTS swear I'm gonna find you coming right behind you ONE OF THESE NIGHTS oh-o-o-o-o-oo-o-oo-o-oo-o-oo ONE OF THESE NIGHTS and I wanna say ah ONE OF THESE NIGHTS one of these, one of these ONE OF THESE NIGHTS coming right behind you, swear I'm gonna find you ONE OF THESE NIGHTS one of these nights, one of these crazy nights (fade out)
(R. Meisner, D. Felder) She's one of a kind, sometimes hard to find like a rainbow. Well, she's lost all her glory and could tell you some stories that we all should know. And there's too many hands being laid on her. Too many eyes will never see that it's dragging her down but you won't hear a sound as she turns round. Her beauty all aflight, it always seems to turn the tide at midnight. And for her there is no rest, we are doing what is best for our future. One of these days she may not be so good to you. One of these days she might shake you to the ground. But her fire is still burning and her heart is still yearning to be found. And there's too many hands being laid on her. Too many eyes will never see that it's dragging her down, still you won't hear a sound as she turns round. Too many hands Too many hands
(B. Leadon, T. Leadon, D. Henley, G. Frey) Springtime, the acacias are blooming, southern California will see one more day. Dreamland and bus'ness is booming. The birds are a singing as I drift away. She looks another year older from too many lovers who used her and ran. But some nights, oh, she looks like an angel and she's always willing to hold you again. So give her this dance, she can't be forsaken. Learn how to love her with all of her faults. She gave more than she's taken and I'll go down doing the Hollywood Waltz. Springtime and the lady is grieving, the lovers just stand there with nothing to say. They got what they wanted, they're packing and leaving to look for another to love the same way. So give her this dance, she can't be forsaken. Learn how to love her with all of her faults. She gave more than she's taken and I'll go down doing the Hollywood Waltz, the Hollywood Waltz, the Hollywood Waltz, the Hollywood Waltz, the Hollywood Waltz.

(D. Henley, G. Frey) City girls just seem to find out early How to open doors with just a smile A rich old man and she won't have to worry She'll dress up all in lace and go in style Late at night a big old house gets lonely, I guess every form of refuge has it's price And it breaks her heart to think her love is only Given to a man with hands as cold as ice. So she tells him she must go out for the evening To comfort an old friend who's feeling down But he knows where she's going as she's leaving She is headed for the cheatin' side of town. You can't hide your lyin' eyes And your smile is a thin disguise I thought by now you'd realize There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes On the other side of town a boy is waiting With firey eyes and dreams no one could steal She drives on through the night anticipating Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel She rushes to his arms, they fall together She whispers that it's only for a while She swears that soon she'll be coming back forever She goes away and leaves him with a smile CHORUS She gets up and pours herself a strong one And stares out at the stars up in the sky Another night, it's gonna be a long one She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry She wonders how it ever got this crazy She thinks about a boy she knew in school Did she get tired, or did she just get lazy She's so far gone, she feels just like a fool My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things You set it up so well, so carefully Ain't it funny how you knew life didn't change things You're still the same old girl you used to be CHORUS
(R. Meisner, D. Henley, G. Frey) All alone at the end of the evening and the bright lights have faded to blue. I was thinking 'bout a woman who might have loved me, I never knew. You know I've always been a dreamer SPENT MY LIFE RUNNING ROUND and it's so hard to change CAN'T SEEM TO SETTLE DOWN but the dreams I've seen lately keep on turning out and burning out and turning out the same. So put me on a highway and show me a sign and take it to the limit one more time. You can spend all your time making money, you can spend all your love making time. If it all fell to pieces tomorrow would you still be mine? And when you're looking for your freedom NOBODY SEEMS TO CARE and you can't find the door CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE when there's nothing to believe in still you're coming back, you're running back, you're coming back for more. So put me on a highway and show me a sign and take it to the limit one more time. Take it to the limit, take it to the limit, take it to the limit one more time. Take it to the limit, take it to the limit, take it to the limit one more time. Take it to the limit, take it to the limit, take it to the limit one more time. Take it to the limit, take it to the limit, take it to the limit one more time. Take it to the limit, take it to the limit, take it to the limit one more time. Take it to the limit, take it to the limit, take it to the limit one more time.(fade out)
(D. Felder, D. Henley) Visions that keep stirring my soul, visions that will never grow old. Sweet baby, I had some visions of you. If I can't have it all just a taste will do. Go ahead and live all your fantasies DON'T YOU EVER THINK ABOUT THE OTHER SIDE? Helps you get from where you are to where you wanna be. YOU AND ME OUGHT TO BE TAKING A RIDE You do the best you can and you make mistakes IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT YOU CAN SAY THAT YOU TRIED 'cause all I have to give is whatever it takes. Play on, El Chingadero, play on. Play on, El Chingadero. Dance, angel, dance till you wear out your blues ONLY THING THAT'S GONNA SAVE YOU NOW and take another chance, you got nothing to lose. THE BOY DIDN'T LOVE YOU ANYHOW Oh, you drive me wild when you do what you do. SOMETHING MAKES ME WANT TO TAKE YOU DOWN If I can't have it all just a taste will do, just a taste of you.
(D. Henley, G. Frey) Same dances in the same old shoes, some habits that you just can't lose. There's no telling what a man might use after the thrill is gone. The flame rises but it soon descends, empty pages and a frozen pen. You're not quite lovers and you're not quite friends after the thrill is gone, oh, after the thrill is gone. What can you do when your dreams come true and it's not quite like you planned? O-OH What have you done to be losing the one, you held it so tight in your hand, well. Time passes and you must move on, half the distance takes you twice as long. So you keep on singing for the sake of the song after the thrill is gone. You're afraid you might fall out of fashion and you're feellng cold and small. O-OH Any kind of love without passion, that ain't no kind of loving at all, well. Same dances in the same old shoes, you get too careful with the steps you choose. You don't care about winning but you don't want to lose after the thrill is gone, after the thrill is gone, after the thrill is gone, oh, after the thrill is gone.
(P. Davis, B. Leadon) I wish you peace when the cold winds blow, warmed by the fire's glow. I wish you comfort in the lonely times Arms to hold you when you ache inside. I wish you hope when things are goin' bad, Kind words when times are sad. I wish you shelter from the ragin' wind, coolin' waters at the fever's end. I wish you peace when times are hard, A light to guide you through the dark. And when storms are high and your, your dreams are low I wish you the strength to let love grow I wish you the strength to let love flow I wish you peace when times are hard, A light to guide you through the dark. And when storms are high and your, your dreams are low I wish you the strength to let love grow I wish you the strength to let love flow I wish you the strength to let love glow I wish you the strength to let love go.
