Baby...Please lyrics - Dave Mason

I think I'll lose an hour or two
With you beside the water
Don't lose time in bringing me
That good thing that you ought to

Baby... please
You've got me scraping my knees
Baby... please
Please, please, don't make me go back to the freeze

Every time that I try to connect girl
Well, it seems that your line is engaged
I'm a slave to the way that you move me
I'm a puppy dog wagging my tail

Baby... please
You've got me scraping my knees
Baby... please
Please, please, don't make me go back to the freeze

Staring out of windows like a helpless child
Pouring down the whiskey like it's goin' out of style
Trying to tell myself that everything is fine
In a big rubber room with a silver spoon still on my mind

Well, I'm pacing the floor like a tiger
Living nights that have passed into days
Looking over my shoulder
To catch anything coming my way

Baby... please
You've got me scraping my knees
Baby... please
Please, please, don't make me go back to the freeze



Misty Morning Stranger lyrics - Dave Mason

We all know that love is a small word
And yet it encompasses all
Well, I tell you we live in a small world
So we better answer the call

It's hard to explain what I'm feeling
But my soul ain't about to be born
With the turn of the wheel I'll be back on the heels
Of a dream I have drew long ago

Passing light of the morning fire unfolds across your face
In a web of gleaming jewels, there hangs a sleeping fool
The sharpness of the morning air brings to mind a silent prayer
He speaks to all of us that care, the misty morning stranger

The guilt that you feel will not heal you in the universal flow
Just turn yourself, under yourself, then the freedom we seek will show
Don't ever doubt what your heart says when everything 'round you says no
Just the pace of the game can drive you insane
So relax and let everything flow

Passing light of the morning fire unfolds across your face
In a web of gleaming jewels, there hangs a sleeping fool
The sharpness of the morning air brings to mind a silent prayer
He speaks to all of us that care, the misty morning stranger

Misty morning stranger
Misty morning stranger
Misty morning stranger
Misty morning stranger
Misty morning stranger

Misty morning stranger
Misty morning stranger



It's Like You Never Left lyrics - Dave Mason

There's a dream keeps returning
Like the rain to the sea
There's a fire ever burning
In the souls of the free

There's a lifetime of learning
But before you can rest
Take a look at yourself, boy

It's like you never left
It's like you never left
It's like you never left

I feel some confusion, when I'm not with you
Well I've got to get back
Where it's green and it's blue

There's a part of me learning
That it's all been in jest
At the end of your journey

It's like you never left
It's like you never left
It's like you never left
It's like you never left never went away



Show Me Some Affection lyrics - Dave Mason

To some, I am a blessing, to others, I'm a curse
I'm a writer, not a fighter, I'm a person, not a purse
I may be just an easy touch and taken for much more
But I just came to leave a little loving at your door

Ooh, show me some affection
Ooh, give me some direction
Ooh, know you're my connection

Just a jet-age gypsy looking for a gypsy queen
I sometimes think I'm on the brink of knowing what I mean
Cities come and cities go but still I cannot find
A place to call a home when there's a woman on my mind

Ooh, show me some affection
Ooh, give me some direction
Ooh, know you're my connection

If hanging out with you was spent in hanging in
I'd still be out of time with time just waiting to begin
Have no preconceived ideas of how things have to be
I'll just take life as it comes and hope that it takes me

Ooh, show me some affection
Ooh, give me some direction
Ooh, know you're my connection

Ooh, show me some affection
Ooh, give me some direction
Ooh, you know you're my connection


Every Woman lyrics - Dave Mason

Don't misunderstand me, though
I know that I've been mean
Woman can't you see that I'm in need
Although we may be far apart
In heart and soul we're near
My body aches for you to just be here

You are every woman in the world to me
And every season I go through
You are every woman in the world to me
Especially when I'm making love to you

Like a falling tear drop
You can wipe away my blues
Live honey you can make the bitter sweet
You're a child, a girl, a woman
You are everything I'd choose
That's why I sing this song to you
That's why I sing this song to you


Bring It On Home To Me lyrics - Dave Mason (originally by Sam Cooke)

If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind
Oh-oh, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me

I know I laughed when you left
But now I know I only hurt myself
Oh-oh, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me

I'll give you jewelery and money, too
That ain't all, that ain't all I'll do for you
Oh, if you bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me

You know I'll always be your slave
'Til I'm buried, buried in my grave
Oh honey, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me

One more thing
I tried to treat you right
But you stayed out, stayed out at night
But I forgive you, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me


You Can't Take It When You Go lyrics - Dave Mason

Don't try to possess me
I'll slip from your grasp
the things that you seek
have already passed
in rushing to own everything that's in sight
nothing is left
no, not even your life

You can't take it when you go
that's something that you oughta know
Love isn't counted in gold
only in heart and soul

Lies can't hurt
at least that's what you say
but there'll be confusion
as sure as night turns to day
truth is a feeling you just can't deceive
life's an illusion
when you don't believe

You can't take it when you go
that's something that you oughta know
Love isn't counted in gold
only in heart and soul

[repeat]

Over and over
day after day
life's precious moments are wasting away
if dreams are the schemes on which future's are made
dream on sweet dreamer
til you reach your grave

You can't take it when you go
that's something that you oughta know
Love isn't counted in gold
only in heart and soul

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)

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



We Just Disagree lyrics - Dave Mason

Been away, haven't seen you in a while
How've you been, have you changed your style?
And do you think that we've grown up differently?
Don't seem the same, seems you've lost your feel for me

So let's leave it alone, 'cause we can't see eye to eye
There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy
There's only you and me and we just disagree
Ooh-hoo-hoo, oh-oh-ho

I'm going back to a place that's far away
How bout you, have you got a place to stay?
Why should I care when I'm just trying to get along?
We were friends, but now it's the end of our love song

So let's leave it alone, 'cause we can't see eye to eye
There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy
There's only you and me and we just disagree
Ooh-hoo-hoo, oh-oh-ho

So let's leave it alone, 'cause we can't see eye to eye
There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy
There's only you and me and we just disagree
Ooh-hoo-hoo, oh, oh-oh-ho


So High (Rock Me Baby And Roll Me Away) lyrics - Dave Mason

Tellin' you darlin' we can do it in style
My imagination is drivin' me wild
'Cause the things that you're sayin'
Cuttin' right through me
Way that you're swayin'
Is gonna undo me and I'm

So high (you got me movin')
Rock me baby
Roll me away
So high (you got me movin')
Rock me baby
Roll me away

Baby you know you're lookin' good tonight
I don't know what's wrong or what's right
'Cause you're shaking me up
I'm lost in the feeling
Taking me up
Up to the ceiling, it's

So high (you got me movin')
Rock me baby
Roll me away
So high (you got me movin')
Rock me baby
Roll me away

Somewhere deep inside my mind
Emotions feeling right
Lay me down and hold me close
Take me through the night
Rock me baby

If you're looking for an ornate man
Baby, I'm doing the best I can
'Cause I'm takin' my time
Finding ways
Out of my mind
All I can say is that I'm

So high (you got me movin')
Rock me baby
Roll me away
So high (you got me movin')
Rock me baby
Roll me away

Keep on rocking me baby
Keep on rocking me baby
Roll me away

[x4]
So high (you got me movin')
Rock me baby
Roll me away
So high (you got me movin')
Rock me baby
Roll me away


Let It Go, Let It Flow lyrics - Dave Mason

When I'm alone
I sometimes get to thinkin'
How it's gonna be
When we're gone?
Are we movin' closer together

Or is it gonna take for ever and ever
Let it go (let it go)
Let it flow like a river
Let it go
Let it flow thru you
Let it go
Let it flow live a river
Let it go
Let it flow thru you

Searchin' everywhere just tryin' to find the reason
For misunderstanding and doubt
Don't wanna preach it
Push it or teach it
Just take a good look all around

Or is it gonna take for ever and ever
Let it go (let it go)
Let it go
Let it flow thru you
Let it go
Let it flow live a river
Let it go
Let it flow thru you

Walls are gonna fall and angel's gonna call on you
To help you on your way
Time spent together like now is forever

So don't ever let love slip away

Or is it gonna take for ever and ever
Let it go (let it go)
Let it go
Let it flow thru you
Let it go
Let it flow live a river
Let it go
Let it flow thru you


Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow lyrics - Dave Mason

Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sighs?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun?

I'd like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?


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

Can't Stop Worrying, Can't Stop Loving lyrics - Dave Mason

Who am I talking to it's just myself
I talk to the wall when I talk with someone else
Only a few that I met really knew
Why so many good things had so much abuse

[CHORUS:]
I can't stop from worrying
About the things we do
I can't stop loving
Without it nothing would seem true

I've got my dreams about the way it's gonna be
I'd share it all with someone real not make-believe
It sometimes gets hard to see the wood from the tree
But when things are right then no questions will I need

[CHORUS]

The scenery's changed but my feelings remain
Laughter and pain and love is still the same
Something worth having doesn't come too easily
A man needs the challenge or a man couldn't be

[CHORUS]


Waitin' On You lyrics - Dave Mason

My feelin' of bein' deceived
Well there's no one that I can believe no, no
It's all because I couldn't see
That the best friend that I have is me

[CHORUS:]
But I'm just waitin' on you
Hoping that you'll be here soon
Still waitin' to see if
You really meant what you said to me
Waitin' on you
Waitin' on, waitin' on you
Waitin' on you
Waitin' on, waitin' on you
Waitin' on you

There's no need to play act for me
Cause you grab what you can while it's free
Just come right out with what you mean
Are the roses as read as they seem

[CHORUS]

Thought that by now you'd have changed
But the name of your game's still the same
I ain't trying to say nothing new no, no, no
Just to make you happy well more than you

[CHORUS]



Shouldn't Have Took More Than You Gave lyrics - Dave Mason

Shouldn't have took more than you gave
Then we wouldn't be in this mess today
I know we've all gone different ways
But the dues we have to pay are still the same

It's time to change the script for this old play
You're readin' and not feelin' what you say
Comin' on too strong for me to stay
Interpret what you see in any way

It seems the simple things
Are hardest to explain
Wind is gonna come too soon
And deaden all the pain
Footprints in the snow will show
Where the things are still the same
Till you get the warmer sun
Of someone else to live again

Shouldn't have took more than you gave
Then we wouldn't be in this mess today
I know we've all gone different ways
But the dues we have to pay are still the same

Shouldn't have took more than you gave
Shouldn't have took more than you gave
Shouldn't have took more than you gave
Shouldn't have took more than you gave
Keep on...


World In Changes lyrics - Dave Mason

Things could be lazy
If they weren't so crazy
And I wasn't following you
Running in circles
Won't find me no purpose
It's right here with you and what I do

Changes of season
Aren't nearly as pleasing
As watching the changes in you
Turn for in new day
In search of a new way
But are you sure that it will do

[CHORUS:]
World in changes still going through
I've got a lot to learn about you
World in changes still coming through
You've got a lot to learn about me too
You've got a lot to learn about me too

I said the world nearly see
What you really mean to me
I'll tell the truth cause I can't pretend
Find yourself a real friend
And then you nearly reach the end
Of all of this runnin' round we do

[CHORUS]



Sad And Deep As You lyrics - Dave Mason

Lips that are warm could be
Lips that speak too soon
Lips that tell a story
As sad and deep as you

Smile that's warm as summer sun
Smile that gets you through
Smile that tells a story
As sad and deep as you

The eyes that are the windows
The eyes that are the view
The eyes that tell a story
As sad and deep as you

The tears that are unspoken words
The tears that are the truth
The tears that tell a story
As sad and deep as you

Just A Song lyrics - Dave Mason

Don't talk to me of fame and fortune
Don't tell me of the things you've read
Don't get involved in games of reason
There ain't no reason I could see for you to win

[CHORUS:]
I've asked you questions now for far too long
I'm feelin' highly wasted but there ain't no sun
I'm tired of callin' you here when things go wrong
So now I'm finding all I need in just a song

Just take my hand and let me feel that I belong
Just take some time out from yourself to get along
Just one more day and I will turn from you and run
Although you're all I do, all I've ever done

[CHORUS]

It may be the way I feel but you are all I have
It's not the same for everyone I know that well
It need a lot of give and take from everyone
But playin' game just won't have gettin' along

[CHORUS]

In just a song
Just a song


Look At You Look At Me lyrics - Dave Mason

"One, two, one, two"

Lookin' all around me
What do I see?
Lots of changing faces
Lots of things to be
But I'm happy just to be
A part of all I see
As I turn around to look at you
And you look back at me

There isn't time to hang around
Anymore
So fill your heart with lovin'
And open up the door
Someone's calling out to you
That's what love is for
As I turn around to look at you
And you look back no more

I'm feeling low
I'm feeling down
My head's been twisted, yeah
All around
But now my feet, oh yeah
Are on the ground
For everyone to see...

There's many ways to reach you
Though you're far away
All the little things we do
The little things we say
I miss you like I miss the sun
I need you every day
As I turn around to look at you
And you look back my way

Lookin' all around me
What do I see?
Lots of changing faces
Lots of things to be
But I'm happy just to be
Part of all I see
As I turn around to look at you
And you look back at me

I'm feeling low
I'm feeling down
My head's been twisted, yeah
All around
But now my feet, oh yeah
Are on the ground
For everyone to see...

Bird On The Wind lyrics - Dave Mason

Some of us will have to lose
and some will have to win,
But to know just where to go
you must know where you've been.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
there's nothing left to lose,
Except to find out for yourself
the things you always knew.

If you want to fly
like the bird on the wind,
You've got to give it,
give it everything.

If you want to fly
like the bird on the wind,
You've got to give it,
give it everything.

Don't you think it's strange the way
the mood can come and go?
One day you are riding high,
the next you're riding low.
Everyone has something special
that is truly theirs,
So to make the highest good
we all must learn to share.

If you want to fly
like the bird on the wind,
You've got to give it,
give it everything.

If you want to fly
like the bird on the wind,
You've got to give it,
give it everything.

Some of us will have to lose
and some will have to win,
But to know just where to go
you must know where you've been.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
there's nothing left to lose,
Except to find out for yourself
the things you always knew.

If you want to fly
like the bird on the wind,
You've got to give it,
give it everything.

If you want to fly
like the bird on the wind,
You've got to give it,
give it everything.

Get A Hold On Love lyrics - Dave Mason

In time as we all grow old
Some of us fall down by the road
But you know that we must be strong
In this world to carry on

[CHORUS:]
You'd better hold on love
You'd better hold on love
Get a hold on love
Get a hold on love
Get a hold on love
Before you let it slip from your heart

All the fears that you have today
May become tomorrow's way
If you stay that way too long
You may find that you don't belong

[CHORUS]

Before you let it slip from your heart

[CHORUS]

Before you let it slip from your heart
Before you let it slip from your heart
Before you let it slip from your heart...

Good 2 U lyrics - Dave Mason

I've been thinking a lot about the women
The booze that I've been drinking,
The days that I've been spending
Something is missing from my experience

I've been living life in a hotel
High rise and low rise
I'm living in motels
Something is missing from my experience

[Chorus:]
Wanna be good to you
Wanna be good for you
Wanna do all the things
That you ask me to
Wanna be good to you
That's all I wanna do
Girl I was meant for you

I've been living my life on a wire
Try and I try
I'll take you higher
Something's still missing from my experience

[Chorus]

You say that you need a man that is stable
Baby, what you need is someone who's able
To make you feel groovy
You've got the movie's suspense

[Chorus]

Harmony And Melody lyrics - Dave Mason

When you're gone from me
I can't take it
I'm a drift at sea
With my sails torn
You have set me free
With your good lovin'
You're a sheltered calm
In a raging storm

I have played the fool
For no reason
I have fallen down
Many times before
Looked for something new
To believe in
But without your love
I'd be lost for sure

When all your dreams are gone
And you feel that you can't carry on
Just remember you're a child of
The harmony and the melody of love

When the magic goes away
And you feel that love has had its day
You may think that you search in vein
But the harmony and the melody still remains

Headkeeper lyrics - Dave Mason

He seeks and he hides
He lives and he dies
He saw it before we were dreaming
He'll hustle you down
A tin can or a crown
But he'll never play with your feelings

Headkeeper's the name
He's been here since he came
And he's keeping ahead of the meaning

He's weak and he's brave
He'll make you a slave
Or free you to fly in the heaven
With thoughts that are pure
He'll reflect all you saw
And all that is just an illusion

Don't you know the feeling
Don't you know the truth
Don't you know your dreaming
Don't you know it's you
Don't you know it's you

Headkeeper's the name
He's been here since he came
And he's keeping ahead of the meaning

How Do I Get To Heaven lyrics - Dave Mason

Days are passing and the time is growing near
We all trying to figure out what we're doing here
Reflections and deception are creeping in
Feel your head and your mind start to spin

How do I get to heaven
Take me back to where the road begins
How do I get to heaven
You know you've gotta let me in
You just gotta let me in

Thoughts of you keep running through my head
I'm left with photographs, things I should have said
You'll never know until it's gone
The love you had was the love you lost

How do I get to heaven
Take me back to where the road begins
How do I get to heaven
You know you've gotta let me in, yeah

The things that made us blind to what we had in mind
Who could have known?
I'll never let you go, your memory lingers so
It won't fade away

The things that made us blind to what we had in mind
Who could have known?
I'll never let you go, your memory lingers so
It won't fade away

How do I get to heaven
Take me back to where the road begins
How do I get to heaven
You know you've gotta let me in
You just gotta let me in

How do I get to
Take me back to where the road begins
How do I get to heaven
You know you've gotta let me in
You just gotta let me in

How do I get to
How do I get to
How do I get to
How do I get to
How do I get to heaven

If You've Got Love lyrics - Dave Mason

Let me take you through your sadness
Face the things you cannot meet
Let a sense of purpose fill your heart
Let your soul begin to speak

The fears that have surrounded you
The sands of time will ease
All the burdens you have carried
You know they're gonna be freed
You know they're gonna be freed

Like a dream in the night
You keep calling to my heart
We'll get by, though the tears and the sighs
Will be trying to tear us apart

If you've got love
You've got a lover
If you've got love
You've got a lover

While drifting down this road
The strangest things unfold to you
Stories you thought never true
And you know that it's only begun

This rain in my heart keeps on falling
This feeling for you still remains
I will try to be more than a friend to you
And I'll never refuse you again
And I'll never refuse you again

It Can't Make Any Difference To Me lyrics - Dave Mason

Kevin Micheal in the area
What we tell the girls?
I got love for you
Hey, I got love for you

We love them black, we love them white, we love them Asian
Caribbean, the African, the Latin woman
The European, Middle Easterns and the Indian
This one goes out to all the girls around the nations

All you gotta do is look at me
Three generations of my family, you see
People treat you different when you're in between

He was black and she was white
You know that most people thought that it wasn't right
I can still remember what she used to say

Maybe lyrics - Dave Mason

Maybe I can love you
Maybe be your friend
Maybe I can help you, your troubles to mend
Maybe sing a song for you
That's what I know best to do
Anything you want me to I'll be
Anything you want me to I'll he

Maybe we'll be strangers
Till our dying day
Maybe then we'll understand what we had to say
Maybe when we've closed the door
On all that's negative in thought
Anyway you want it, it can be
Anyway you want it, it can be

Lift your head now
Tears you've shed
Are all ignored

Take a hand and make a stand
Against all wars

Are you dreaming
Or just scheming, for reward

Life's illusions are misleading
It's so good to be here breathing

Anyway you want it, it can be
Anyway you want it, it can be

Lift your head now
Tears you've shed
Are all ignored

Take a hand and make a stand
Against all wars

Are you dreaming
Or just scheming, for reward

Life's illusions are misleading
It's so good to be here breathing

Maybe I can love you
Maybe be your friend
Maybe I can help you, your troubles to mend
Maybe sing a song for you
That's what I know best to do

Anything you want me to I'll be
Anything you want me to I'll he

Mystic Traveler lyrics - Dave Mason

Hanging in a crystal tree
A love light shines for all to see
'Cause in our hearts we know the way it goes
Sharing all that we can give
And living all that we can live
With freedom as our only cornerstone

Mystic traveler, he's the unraveler
And he will always bring you safely home
Mystic traveler, he's the unraveler
And when he takes your heart, you're not alone
And when he takes your heart, you're not alone

Time is on our side I feel
The light of truth will soon reveal
A reason for our fears of letting go
All of our life energy flooring between you and me
Where together though we're quite alone

Mystic traveler, he's the unraveler
And he will always bring you safely home
Mystic traveler, he's the unraveler
And when he takes your heart, you're not alone
And when he takes your heart, you're not alone

No more sailing on the sea of broken hearted memories
Understanding is the key, loving you can only be
A love for all eternity, two much time has passed
Thank the Lord, you're here at last

Hanging in a crystal tree
A love light shines for all to see
'Cause in our hearts we know the way it goes
Sharing all that we can give
And living all that we can live
With freedom as our only cornerstone

Mystic traveler, he's the unraveler
And he will always bring you safely home
Mystic traveler, he's the unraveler
And when he takes your heart, you're not alone
And when he takes your heart, you're not alone

And when he takes your heart, you're not alone
And when he takes your heart, you're not alone
And when he takes your heart, you're not alone
And when he takes your heart, you're not alone
And when he takes your heart, you're not alone
And when he takes your heart, you're not alone

One Day lyrics - Dave Mason

I know it's unbelievable
And I know it seems unthinkable
There's a place I wanna meet you
There's a place, a place we got to, got to, got to
Need to, got to, got to

Baby, one day we'll fly in the ocean
One day we'll swim in the sky
Someday I won't ask why, babe
One day baby, you'll forget about me
Someday baby, I'll forget about you

You got to hold on to dreams within [?]
And no one knows how it all ends up
Hold on, you got to give it some time
Time enough to make it all in one day

There's a place I wanna meet you
There's a place, a place we got to, got to, got to
Need to, got to, got to

Baby, one day we'll fly in the ocean
One day we'll swim in the sky
Someday I won't ask why, babe
Someday baby, you'll forget about me
One day baby, I will forget about you

I will forget about you
I will forget about you
No matter what you do
I can't forget about you, baby

I know it's unbelievable
And I know it seems unthinkable
Need to, got to, got to, got to
Need to, got to, got to

Baby, one day we'll fly in the ocean
One day we'll swim in the sky
Someday I won't ask why, babe
One day baby, you'll forget about me
Someday baby, I will forget about you

I will forget about you
I will forget about you
No matter what you do
I can't forget about you, baby
I can't forget about you, baby

One day
One day
One day

Pearly Queen lyrics - Dave Mason

I bought a sequined suit from a pearly queen
And she could drink more wine
Than I'd ever seen
She had some gypsies' blood flowing through her feet
And when the time was right
She said that I would meet my destiny

I traveled round the world to find the sun
I couldn't stop myself from having fun
Then one day I met an Indian girl
And she made me forget this troubled world we're living in

I traveled round the world to find the sun
I couldn't stop myself from having fun
Then one day I met an Indian girl
And she made me forget this troubled world we're living in

I bought a sequined suit from a pearly queen
And she could drink more wine
Than I'd ever seen
She had some gypsies' blood flowing through her feet
And when the time was right
She said that I would meet my destiny

Pink Lipstick lyrics - Dave Mason

She's got the face, she's got the body
She's riding high on daddy's money
She's got pink lipstick all around the mouth
She thinks she knows what it's all about

Down on the dance floor, down and dirty
She's a prom queen, she's acting flirty
She's got pink lipstick all around the mouth
She thinks she knows what it's all about

I am in the middle of something
I can't be sure of or hold on
She's a girl, she's much too young
For I'm in trouble deep, she's a woman too

Snake skin, alligator
Car keys, I'll see you later
Wants me to take her on a ripping night ride
She wants to be my baby tonight

She's lost to the music
She knows she's got it and how to use it
She's got pink lipstick all around the mouth
She thinks she knows what it's all about

How can something so good be wrong?
How can this feeling be so strong?
She's a girl, she's much too young
For I'm in trouble deep, she's a woman too

I am in the middle of something
I can't be sure of or hold on
She's a girl, she's much too young
For I'm in trouble deep, she's a woman too

I am in the middle of something
I can't be sure of or hold on
She's a girl, she's much too young
For I'm in trouble deep, she's a woman too

I am in the middle of something
I can't be sure of or hold on
She's a girl, she's much too young
For I'm in trouble deep

Silent Partner lyrics - Dave Mason

It will change you, re-arrange you
Gonna make you hard to take
Leave you feeling, that you're dealing
In a world that's full of hate

When you can't see past your nose
Nothing matters and nothing grows
Everything is oh, so cold
A silent partner's taken hold

White horses, on the sea
Natural forces calling me
Out in the wind my spirit flies
Carrying to you, the love I've cried

Here we go again

It's a loser, that would choose her
As a constant friend to have
Paranoia, is the voyeur
When you're feeling things go bad

When you can't see past your nose
Nothing matters and nothing grows
Everything is oh, so cold
A silent partner's taken hold

White horses, on the sea
Natural forces calling me
Out in the wind my spirit flies
Carrying to you, the love I've cried

Here we go again

The Lonely One lyrics - Dave Mason

There've been moments of despair,
There've been times I could not care
I was the lonely one
Then you showed myself to me
And I found I needn't be
Another lonely one

Running in the wilderness and dreaming in the sun
Cryin' to the sky at night for God's eternal son

Through the truth and through the lies
There is really no disguise
To hide the lonely ones.
You can find them on a card
Being matched with other hearts
The really lonely ones

Running in the wilderness and dreaming in the sun
And cryin to the sky at night for God's eternal son.

Inside your rooms, behind your wall
I see your face,
You know I hear your call.
Is this some madness that's been left unchecked
Or will there always be just promises?

Running in the wilderness and dreaming in the sun
And cryin' to the sky at night for God's eternal son.

There are men that hold the key
To set everybody free
But they are lonely ones.
And if the day should come
When they all can work as one
There'll be a destiny.
Yes, I know..

Running in the wilderness and dreaming in the sun
Cryin' to the sky at night for God's eternal son,
Yeah, yeaheah...

Walk To The Point lyrics - Dave Mason

Forest Enter Exit
The Walk To The Moon
Setting out
Restless motion
Beyond the horizones
Lands must be golden
Sister by the hand
Pure heart trusting in
Shining eyes when we looked up at him

Come on let's walk to the moon
Come on let's walk to the moon

Freedom of choice
Triumph of the will
God made his joke keeping still
Signs by the wayside
Leading to nowhere
Winter came bringing hidden despair

Come on....

Hazy shapes
On an endless plain
Illusions of freedom
In nature's game
And the start hide their lights
You can see them weep
The aim was silent
And they fell asleep

Come on...

Forest Enter Exit
The Walk To The Moon

What Do We Got Here? lyrics - Dave Mason

She don't claim to be the perfect one
And I don't claim to be Sir Lancelot
We ain't sure when we're positive

It's likely that we'll sit here scratching our heads
She don't say that she loves me
And I don't send her no flowers

What do we got here?
What do we got here?
We've got something I'm not sure of
It ain't likely but I think they call it love
Well I think they call it love

She don't climb no trees for me
And I don't tell her she should
We don't sneak around or step on toes

Well we agree that that ain't good
Everybody thinks I'm crazy
And all her friends tell her to leave me alone

You Just Have To Wait Now lyrics - Dave Mason

Tell me I just have to wait now
For you to make up your mind
You say you need room
Just to reach for the moon
And I just wanna make you mine

But you just can't seem
To leave your past behind
Especially in the form of man
Whose love was a gun, held at your head
He'll shoot you with it if he can

I gave you the best of my love
That I had to give
Now you're out on the streets
Still tryin' to find a friend

Come on, girl
It's time to begin
Somethin's gotta give
I hope we both win, yeah

So now you got to pick up the pieces
Find out just where you stand
The answers seem it has always been
In the palm of your hand

You tell me I just have to wait now
For you to make up your mind
You say you need room
Just to reach for the moon
And I just wanna make you mine

I gave you the best of my love
That I had to give
Now you're out on the streets
Still tryin' to find a friend

Come on, girl
It's time to begin
Somethin's gotta give
I hope we both win, yeah
