The Wish

Darling put your blue dress on,
And won't you say you will
Meet tonight on the edge
Up on Turner's Hill
There's something in the evening breeze
There's magic in the air
We'll ride these rusted roads 'til dawn
And find it waiting there
So darling if you're weary
As the night just lingers on
Lay your head upon my chest
And the wish keeps burning on
There's a darkness blowing in, my dear
Across a fractious night
We're riding on a hurricane
Tearing down the line
The anthems of our youth
Blasting in on the radio
And a fire burning in our hearts
Now the wish it can't be broke
Won't you take my hand
As the world comes crashing down
And I'll hold you in my heart
Tonight we'll stand our ground
A dream weaves through a crystal sky
As I pull you near
With a blessed prayer upon my lips
I'll whisper in your ear
So darling if you're weary
As the night just lingers on
Lay your head upon my chest
And the wish keeps burning on
Oh, I have got a wish my dear
And the wish belongs to you
Oh I have got a wish my dear
And the wish you know is true
Oh I have got a wish my dear
And the wish belongs to you

Get Lucky

Close your eyes
Slip away
In this hazy old world which we live
Too many problems and there's no solutions
and no outrunning them now
You put on your brave face
But you're scared as hell
And I'll pray that it'll come right
We've been down for so long
But we've always held on
'cause we've gotta get lucky sometime
Let the angels sing out the old gospel songs
Of rock'n'roll's sweet redemption
We'll keep our heads low
And baby who knows
'cause we've gotta get lucky sometime
We have walked through these streets
Stained in blood and tears
Some tough cards were handed
And though we're still standing
The good times, they weren't good to us
Every sweet kiss carried a tear
They streamed from your deep hazel eyes
I'll dry those tears baby
'cause god knows but maybe
We're gonna get lucky sometime
Let the angels sing out the old gospel songs
Of rock'n'roll's sweet redemption
We'll keep our heads low
And baby who knows
'cause we've gotta get lucky sometime
The diamonds of heaven slip from the night
Deep into the glint of the bright city lights
We'll keep holding and it won't be long
'til we're gonna get lucky sometime
Open the blinds
Reveal the sun
Out of these shadows a new world will come
Keep faith in you heart and open your eyes
God only knows we're gonna get lucky sometime

Summer Blossoms

The last summer blossoms
Fell upon the street
Like teardrops or blood drops
Crushed beneath the beat
Of an airless melody
A dancing symphony of sound
The last summer blossoms
Resting in your hair
Like sunlight or the stars that shine
They burned a fire for you
For you, for you
You've got my head confused
And I'm unsure which direction
I should chose now
And the darkness closes in
It slips beneath my skin
And the darkness closes in
It slips beneath my skin
Oh the summer's almost gone again
The last summer blossoms
It seems they're almost gone
The slow songs
The fast ones
The taste left on my tongue
So take my hand my dear
We'll dance away the years
'til those summer blossoms
Reappear again

A Long Goodbye
04:22
|

I tried to ring you last night
'til the dialing tone died
You never did answer my calls
I'm still not sure why
I wasn't trying to change your mind
This lonely Joe's back's against the wall
We followed those fevers like broken tattoos
We etched beneath our skin
In the warm sweaty bars, dancing in the dark
Oh, how I'd drift back there again
Do you remember the heat of those long summer evenings
The diamonds of heaven shining like the city lights
I'm driving through those streets where we used to meet
I admit it still tears we up inside
I guess it was a long goodbye
Every boy had a girl who looked him in the eyes
Who ripped him to pieces and cut him like a knife
Oh Katie these wounds of mine still haven't healed
While the scars will remain here for life
I know next time I'll think twice
Do you remember the heat of those long summer evenings
The diamonds of heaven shining like the city lights
I'm driving through those streets where we used to meet
I admit it still tears we up inside
I guess it was a long goodbye
The flames we burned to ashes and dust
Your words carry a sting
I must live with the ghosts but what kills me most
Is all that could've been
Do you remember the heat of those long summer evenings
The diamonds of heaven shining like the city lights
I'm driving through those streets where we used to meet
I admit it still tears we up inside
I guess it was a long goodbye

The Edge
04:22
|
|||
Me and my baby
We've been thinking hard
We re-lit the engine of our old classic car
And ran like the heroes
We saw on the screens
We heard in the songs
And all of our dreams
We were so lost in the dark of this town
Where factories tore our fathers down
Marked by the faces we saw every night
All of the friends who lost the fight
Can you feel it now
Burning through your veins
It ain't the same
The edge is hitting hard
You can feel it in your veins
Tonight we'll run down to the river
And washed these sins from our hands
Ever since we were young
We knew this day would would someday come
Now we've nothing else to lose
Baby all you have to do is choose
The sweat and the blood
Grind 'neath these wheels
The roar of the engines
The chrome and the steel
The taste of your lips which still drive me wild
The broken tattoos which tell of your time
As a lonely girl who lived on the street
Wasted on kicks and all that defeat
Waiting on all your heroes to come
But you had to make do with me
All your heroes are gone
They left you on your own
No Brando's gonna sweep you off your feet
CHORUS
And the seventies songs
Blasting on the radio
We had all the time and no place left to go
And the seventies songs
Blasting on the radio
Rock and Roll don't leave me now
Your best day's still to come
CHORUS
When you're on the edge
When you're on the edge

My halo's tarnished
It's dull honey next to yours
My heart was wounded
Tell me has yours been cured?
I hate change
You say you dislike it too
I long for happiness
I'm happiest with you, baby
So sing me a sweet song
And conjure your spells
Maybe an old Beatles number,
Or perhaps something else?
I wandered the darkness
But your light led me home
When all of the doors were shut
You opened the windows
