Lyrics - Stormbringer
I believe in a minute for every man
When he must take notice of the clock and all its hands
If he sees the road leads straight ahead
Got to run on down, never never be afraid
And it's yours, go out and get it
Don't get wet, please keep dry
Think about the people that made you cry.
I know a man, six feet tall
Buckskin jacket, velvet stripes and all
From Boston town, educated well
And he keeps his mind within a padded shell
It's yours, go out and get it
Don't get wet, please keep dry
Think about the people that made you cry.
Behind the curtain, upon the shelf
Lives a man, living with himself
Behind his eyes, behind his smile
What's going on, nobody in the world can tell
It's yours, go out and get it
Don't get wet, please keep dry
Think about the people that made you cry.
It's yours, go out and get it
Don't get wet, please keep dry
Think about the people that made you cry.
I'm feeling down
My senses are bound
Cos I can't get the one I want to
Can't get the one I want to.
Don't ask me the time
My watch doesn't wind
I neglected my taste
And I'm drinking cheap wine
Cos I can't get the one I want to love.
So I'm just biding my time
Drunk is drunk
The wine is just fine.
There's so many people
Trying to get to
Get to the one they want to
Get to the one they want to
Get to the one they want to love.
So I'm just biding my time
Till I see you again
The wine will do fine
I can't get the one I want to
I can't get the one I want to, oh
I can't get the one I want to love.
Love...
Time's gone by
Calendar leaves and snows fly
I might write a poem
If I could think of the words to try
What is there to remember
The winter was December
Just one more year left behind.
She never looked around to see me
She never looked around at all
All I saw was shadows on the wall
She never looked around to see me
She never looked around at all
All I heard was snow that had to fall.
She left in the morning
Quietly that was her way
And on returning
To find I had nothing to say
What is there to remember
The winter was December
Just one more year left behind.
She never looked around to see me
She never looked around at all
All I saw was shadows on the wall
She never looked around to see me
She never looked around at all
All I heard was snow that had to fall...
Talk of making love
Take your time to bluff your way to stay
Let me use your eyes
Please don't muse with words
That cut me down to size.
With your lovely mind
Never taking time
To treat a woman kind
You remain to me
A vision of
Sweet honesty
Sweet honesty
Sweet honesty
Sweet honesty.
Do I need to say
Let time, wiser with surprise for borrowing your eyes
Morning sets the scene
And though you stay
The more you go from me, it seems.
With your lovely mind
Never taking time
To treat a woman kind
You remain to me
A vision of
Sweet honesty
Sweet honesty
Sweet honesty
Sweet honesty that's what you are.
Talk of making love
Take your kind to bluff your way to stay
Let me use your eyes
Please don't muse with words that cut me down to size.
With your lovely mind
Never taking time
To treat a woman kind
O, listen to me now
You remain to me
A vision of
Sweet honesty
Sweet honesty
Sweet honesty
Sweet honesty.
Sweet honesty, sweet honesty
Sweet honesty, sweet honesty
Sweet honesty, sweet honesty.
That's what you are
That's what you are
That's what you are
That's what you are.
Perch trees, pine trees, oh there're many kind trees
Sparrows, marrows and all those things
Butterflies flutter by everybody's upper by
Even the man next door can sing.
Kicking up the cones and rolling up the stones
Kicking up the stones and rolling up the cones
The band plays country, cool and sweet
Everywhere you go
The people tumble down the street
No one that you know.
Sunshine, soon shine, let me in the moonshine
Give me the road and set me free
Own up, grown up, everything is sewn up
State police can't bother me.
Kicking up the cones and rolling up the stones
Kicking up the stones and rolling up the cones.
The band plays country, cool and sweet
Everywhere you go
The people tumble down the street
Everyone you know.
Jed the woodchuck, lives in Woodstock
Maybe he's a groundhog and I don't know
Winter freeze up, seize up, knees up
Summers and its time to go.
Kicking up the cones and rolling up the stones
Kicking up the stones and rolling up the cones.
The band plays country, cool and sweet
Everywhere you go
The people tumble down the street
Everyone you know.
I'm John the Baptist
And this is my friend Salome
And you can bet it's my head she wants
And not my heart only
If you see me smiling
And you wonder why
You can bet it's a private joke
Between her and I.
And it's alright
Everything is alright
Alright
Everything is alright.
She dances for me
In the midnight moon
And when I play for her
She never sings too soon
When my head's cut off
And I'm lying on a plate
I'm going to grin and tell myself
It's been a lovely wait.
And it's alright
Everything is alright
Alright
Everything's alright.
With the revelation started
And my face just lightly haunted
I see myself on the nursery wall
On the poster reading wanted
And there's a big reward
For bringing me in
And I know in my very heart
I committed no sin.
And it's alright
Everything is alright
Alright
Everything is alright.
I'm John the Baptist
And this is my friend Salome
And you can bet it's my head she wants
And not my heart only
If you see me smiling
And you wonder why
You can bet it's a private joke
Between her and I.
And it's alright
Everything is alright
Alright
Everything is alright
Everything's alright
Everything's alright.
Saw the ocean
Said of it
Nothing's bigger than this
Took the sea flowers
From the sand
Held the shells in my hand.
Let it be the
Let it be the friend
Oh let the sea my troubles mend
Let the sea
Let the sea
Let the sea my troubles mend.
Let the wind
Blow through my hair
A speck of dust is standing there
Yes I saw the ocean
Said of it
Nothing's bigger than this.
Let it be the
Let it be the friend
Let the sea my troubles mend
Let the sea
Let the sea
Let the sea my troubles mend.
All we had between us was a secret
Kept for just us two, for just us now
If you don't know anybody else's secret
I'll pick you up and we'll go rolling now.
Traffic light lady, turn your eyes
Amber, green and red surprise
Traffic light lady, turn your eyes
Traffic light lady, turn your eyes on me
Traffic light lady, turn your eyes on me.
Won't you tell me about the things that are you
Won't you tell me about your baby too
Tell me about the things you do together
And tell me about the things that we could do.
Traffic light lady, turn your eyes
Amber, green and red surprise
Traffic light lady, turn your eyes
Traffic light lady, turn your eyes on me
Traffic light lady, turn your eyes on me.
All we had between us was a secret
Kept for just us two, for just us now
If you don't know nobody else's secret
I'll pick you up and we'll go rolling now.
Traffic light lady, turn your eyes
Amber, green and red surprise
Traffic light lady, turn your eyes
Traffic light lady, turn your eyes on me
Traffic light lady, turn your eyes on me
Traffic light lady, turn your eyes on me.
Tomorrow time
Tomorrow time.
Morning's here
Sounds so clear
Birds are singing
Music's ringing.
Sitting on the floor
Can't stay awake no more
It's tomorrow time
Tomorrow time.
Oh what's your story
Morning glory
Sun's shadows fall
All against my wall.
Just my room and me
And morning, that makes three
It's tomorrow time
Tomorrow time.
Oh here so soon
Afternoon...
With half-closed eyes
I see the skies.
Sun is shining still
It will keep on shining till
Tomorrow time
Tomorrow time
Tomorrow time
Tomorrow time...
Would you believe me if I told you
For four long years you kept the wolf from my door
For four long years you kept my feet upon the floor
And now you're crying
Would you believe me if I told you
That my mind had changed me
That I rearranged me
And now you're crying.
And it's a long, long way
It's such a long, long way
So many turnings, so many turnings.
Would you believe me if I told you
That I'm sorry for the logic in the lies
That I've found by complete surprise
The truth
Would you believe me if I told you
That I didn't want to lose you
That's why I had to bruise you
So sad.
And it's a long, long way
It's such a long, long way
So many turnings, so many turnings.
Would you believe me if I told you
When I said that I could marry you
I surely didn't mean to carry you
To here
Would you believe me if I told you
That at twenty years young and all
You simply have got no control
Of the time.
And it's a long, long way
Such a long, long way
So many turnings, so many turnings.
Would you believe me if I told you
For four long years you kept the wolf from my door
For four long years you kept my feet upon the floor
And now you're crying.
Rain clouds are forming
Darken my room
Winter you're here so soon.
And you've tried to see him
Tried in despair
He's got his mind elsewhere.
Know how we love him
And oh how you care
Love is so hard to bare.
Just one of those days
Another one of those days
Just one of those days
Another one of those days.
I see you coming and now I'm alive
I see you coming and now I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive.
And you don't even write
And you don't even call
Won't take the chance to fall.
And you've tried to see him
Tried in despair
He's got his mind elsewhere.
Rain clouds are forming
See them darken my room
Winter you're here so soon.
Just one of those days
Another one of those days
Just one of those days
Another one of those days.
I see you coming and now I'm alive
I see you coming and now I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive.
Bet you never saw me be a horse
That's because I never was of course!
But it all seems worthwhile
I can just see you smile like you do
Like you do today.
Lady don't you know that you never have to go
I'm going to make you smile
Every little while in a little time.
Lady don't you know that you never have to go
I'm going to make you smile
Every little while in a little time.
I love you lady
Don't you know lady
I love you.
Bet you never saw me climb a tree
That's because it isn't me
But it all seems worthwhile
I can just see you smile like you do
Like you do today.
Lady don't you know that you never have to go
I'm going to make you smile
Every little while in a little time.
Lady don't you know that you never have to go
I'm going to make you smile
Every little while in a little time.
I love you lady
Lady I love you
I fly a yard and crawl a mile
If I could think of something else meanwhile
It all seems so true if I could be like you
Like I was, like I was today.
Lady don't you know that you never have to go
I'm going to make you smile
Every little while in a little time.
Lady don't you know that you never have to go
I'm going to make you smile
Every little while in a little time.
I love you lady
Don't you know lady
I love you.
Lady don't you know that you never have to go
I'm going to make you smile
Every little while in a little time.
Lady don't you know that you never have to go
I'm going to make you smile
Every little while in a little time.
I love you lady
Don't you know lady
I love you.
