Save Me lyrics - Dave Mason

Save me...
Save me...

She's not a star
But she'll go far
So she's telling all her friends
She's only young and just begun
To see clearly
In her eyes

Nothing turned out like she thought it would
(thought it would)
And I was waiting right there where she stood

She said: save me
From this wicked world I'm livin' in
She said: save me
I don't wanna lose, I wanna win
I can't run and I can't hide
(can't run, can't hide away)
I can't run and I can't hide
(can't run, can't hide away)
She said: save me
(save me, girl)
She said save me...
Ooh!

All on her own
She's on the phone
So sincerely...
Ooh... makin' a joke
There's no reply
She wonders why
And pays the rent one more time

Everybody's out there on the take
(on the take)
And I was there when she began to brake
(she began to brake)

She said: save me
From this wicked world I'm livin' in
(save me, baby)
She said: save me
I don't wanna lose, I wanna win
I can't run and I can't hide
(can't run, can't hide away)
I can't run and I can't hide
(can't run, can't hide away)
She said: save me
(save me, girl)

She said save me...
Ooh!

Everybody's out there on the take
(on the take)
And I was there when she began to brake

She said: save me
From this wicked world I'm livin' in
(save me, girl)
She said: save me
I don't wanna lose, I wanna win
I can't run and I can't hide
(can't run, can't hide away)
I can't run and I can't hide
(can't run, can't hide away)
She said: save me
(can't run, can't hide away)
She said save me...
(can't run, can't hide away)

Save me, girl
(save me)
Save me, girl
(can't run, can't hide away)
Save my soul
(save me)
Save me, girl
(can't run, can't hide away)
Save my soul
(save me)
Save me, girl
(can't run, can't hide away)
Save my soul, baby
(save me)
Save me girl
(can't run, can't hide away)
Ooh...
(save me)
Save me, girl
(can't run, can't hide away)
Save my soul
(save me)
You can't run
(can't run, can't hide away)
You can't hide
(save me)
Come on, baby
(can't run, can't hide away)
Hoo!
Save my soul...
Ooh!

Feelin' Alright lyrics - Dave Mason

Seems I've got to have a change of scene
'Cause every night I have the strangest dreams
Imprisoned by the way it might have been
Left here on my own or so it seems
I've got to leave before I start to scream
Someone's locked the door and took the key
Feelin' alright
Not feelin' too good myself
Feelin' alright
Not feelin' too good myself

Boy you sure took me for one big ride
And even now I sit and I wonder why
When I think of you I start to cry
Just can't help myself, just keep cryin'
Gotta stop believing in all your lies
Said to myself, said to my-said to my-said to my-self
before I die
Feelin' alright
Not feelin' too good myself
Feelin' alright
Not feelin' too good myself

Don't you get too lost in all I say
But you know all the time
I really felt that way
But that was then and now you know it's today, girl
But I can't get set so I guess I'm here to stay
Till someone comes to take my place
With a different name and a different face
Feelin' alright
Not feelin' too good myself
Feelin' alright
Not feelin' too good myself

Only You Know And I Know lyrics - Dave Mason

Only you know and I know
All the lovin' we've got to show
So don't refuse to believe it
By reading too many meanings

'Cause you know that I mean what I say
So don't go, and never take me the wrong way
You know you can't go on gettin' your own way
'Cause if you do, it's gonna get you someday

We're both here to be pleasin'
Oh, no, no, not deceivin'
But it's hard to believe in
Ah yeah, when you've been so mistreated

'Cause you know that I mean what I say
So don't go, and never take me the wrong way
You know you can't go on gettin' your own way
'Cause if you do, it's gonna get you someday

If I seem to mislead you
It's just my craziness comin' through
But when it comes down to just two
Ah, I ain't no crazier than you

'Cause you know that I mean what I say
So don't go, and never take me the wrong way
You know you can't go on gettin' your own way
'Cause if you do, it's gonna get you someday

Only you know and I know
Only you know and I know
Only you know and I know, oh yeah
Only you know and I know, oh yeah, get up

All Along The Watchtower lyrics - Dave Mason (originally by Bob Dylan)

"There must be some way out of here", said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."

"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

Crying, Waiting, Hoping lyrics - Dave Mason

Please don't tell, no no no
Don't say that I told you so
I've just heard a rumor from a friend
I don't say that it's true
But I just leave that up to you
If you don't believe I'll understand

Crying doo doo doo
Tears keep falling all night long
Waiting doo doo doo
Feel so useless I know It's wrong
To keep crying, waiting, hoping You'll come back maybe someday soon
Things will change and you'll be mine

Crying doo doo doo
Tears keep falling all night long
Waiting doo doo doo
Feel so useless I know It's wrong
To keep crying, waiting, hoping You'll come back
I just can't seem to get you off of my mind
I keep crying, waiting, hoping You'll come back maybe someday soon
Things will change and you'll be mine
Maybe someday soon Things will change and you'll be mine
Maybe someday soon Things will change and you'll be mine

You Can Lose It lyrics - Dave Mason

She tells you she loves you, calls you her man
But you're only just a small part of her plan
One minute she'll make you feel just like a king
The next make you crazy and forget how to sing

You can lose it and it won't be back at all
You can lose it and it won't be back at all

Everything that you do is just for her needs
But she's never said thank you and she's never said please
She'll destroy any talent that you ever had
And curse you for not being more of a man

You can lose it and it won't be back at all
You can lose it and it won't be back at all
(Won't be back at all)

Time and again she's had you up against the wall
Friends of all told you but she does not hear them at all, no, no, no
Dance in the fire before life goes by
'Cause you're gonna end up alone

She tells you she loves you, calls you her man
But you're only just a small part of her plan
One minute she'll make you feel just like a king
The next make you crazy and forget how to sing

You can lose it and it won't be back at all
You can lose it and it won't be back at all
(Won't be back at all)

She's A Friend lyrics - Dave Mason

[CHORUS:]
Ah she's a friend
Ah she's a friend
Ah she's a friend

Give her time to think it over
She's a lady and you owe it to her
Don't you know she'll be yours in the end
Though I'm sure that it's enlightening
It's a little new and frightening
And it may be more than she can comprehend

[CHORUS]

On the road is not the place
It's too much like her favorite chase
As soon as you arrive you have to leave
I haven't seen you now for some time
You're never off my mind
What is in my heart will never end

[CHORUS]

Waiting under torment
Listening to the music
Going over all the things we've said
You could be out in Hollywood
A suntan makes you look so good
Is this concert ever going to end

[CHORUS]

Save Your Love lyrics - Dave Mason

Lookin' for good times
Lookin' for bad times
Got what I deserved
Running round
The way I've been
Gettin' so upset
Just a kiss from your lips
Will come and save the urge
What's a man to do
When he's touched
Skin as soft as hers

[CHORUS:]
Save your love, save your love
Save your love, save your love

Left a home
In which I'd grown
Went out West to learn
That's when I found
Out how easy
It's to get burned
Enough of you
I couldn't have
Cause through the lies
I'd heard
Now you're here
It's so much clearer
Now you have my word

[CHORUS]

There's a bird
Outside my window
And it's singing in the day
Walking on
The shore of the sea
My mind just slips away
Thoughts of you
And things you do
To keep my spirit free.
Like the birds
I'm gonna keep on singing
Just for you and me

[CHORUS]

Give Me A Reason Why lyrics - Dave Mason

Give me a reason for giving
Give me a reason to take
Give me a reason for loving, daddy
Won't you give me a reason to hate?
Give me a reason for laughter
Give me a reason to cry
Give me a reason for living, daddy
Won't you give me a reason why?
Won't you give me a reason why?

Fly like a silver bird
Cry on a broken word
Follow your dreams
Laying foundations for new generations
Think of the good things you'll see

Lookin' at me with those pretty blue eyes
Asking me thing I just can't describe
"Daddy, who's God,
What's on his mind?"
"That's a good question" I reply

Tell me a story, sing me a song
Don't make it too short,
But don't make it too long
Tell me the difference
Between right and wrong
In time, all these answers will come along
In time, all these answers will come along

Fly like a silver bird
Cry on a broken word
Follow your dreams
Laying foundations for new generations
Think of the good things you'll see

Give me a reason for giving
Give me a reason to take
Give me a reason for loving, daddy
Won't you give me a reason to hate?
Give me a reason for laughter
Give me a reason to cry
Give me a reason for living, daddy
Won't you give me a reason why?
Won't you give me a reason why?

Two Guitar Lovers lyrics - Dave Mason

Two guitar lovers
Dancing in the rain
It is uncovered
And it will remain
Out in the roads they're understanding
Over the time it's got its groove
Over the earth sometimes they're landing
Watch the waters move
Together with the

Two guitar lovers
Playing in the sun
It is uncovered
While they're having fun
Raising in firelight they see it
Living on rhythms of the mind
Saving on timing of the feeling heart
That's so sublime.
Gonna sing it for you

Two guitar lovers
Two guitar lovers
Play it for me, play it for me

Two guitar lovers
Now they're on the hill
Watching all others
While they're standing still
Seeing the changing situations
Over the time that's have passed them by
They're on their own in their space stations
And sometimes they fly
Together with the

Two guitar lovers
Two guitar lovers
Play it for me, play it for me
Two guitar lovers
Two guitar lovers
Two guitar lovers

Sweet Music lyrics - Dave Mason

Gone is that feeling
That we both knew
When all that we dreamed of
Was me and you
Here at the crossroads
Got to make up our minds
If we go on together
Or leave it behind

I opened my eyes
To a world of surprise
As a child I took most things
For granted
Love was as far
As from here to a star
Yet so near I could reach out
And grasp it

Caught in the haze
Of misunderstood ways
And in trying to make myself heard
Spend too much time
Tryin' to get to my mind
When all that I needed
Sweet music to wade through the years

[Repeat first verse]

Sing a song
Sweet, sweet Music
Talk about sweet, sweet music
Talk about sweet, sweet music
Talk about sweet, sweet music
Got to have it
Talk about sweet, sweet music...

Long Lost Friend lyrics - Dave Mason

I listen to what you say
'Cause Lord knows I want to believe you
But something inside my heart
Says the words that you tell me are false tunes

Here it comes again
Then it's gone like a long lost friend
It's with us until the end
The fears that you had will become you

You must take upon yourself
To do what you must do
And yet you keep asking yourself
Why the answers you seek still avoid you

Here it comes again
Then it's gone like a long lost friend
It's with us until the end
The fears that you had will become you

Sunshine follows the raindrops
Rainbows follow the dew
I keep following this heart of mine
My heart keeps following you

Here it comes again
Then it's gone like a long lost friend
It's with us until the end
The fears that you had will become you
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah
