No Return
(Ken Hensley — Mick Box — Trevor Bolder)
I'm at the point of no return I'm watching the candle burn Both ends There's a lesson we Both can learn - this time So if you wanna make my day There's something You've gotta say Now please don't laugh And turn away - this time I don't wanna make a fuss But this is the time for us And I ain't gonna miss the buss This time No return So there'll be no turning back Once I know that You'll be by my side No return Maybe you'll give me all the love That you always felt You had to hide No return I've come a thousand miles Across the ocean But that ain't half As far as my emotion Now I've reached The point of no return While on my way down the avenue I had to stop for a drink or two Or three Now not that I was stalling you For time It's just I wanted to feel my best And I almost passed the test I need your lovin' to do the rest This time No return - so please don't ever do What you've done So many times before No return Because I've made up my mind That this time I'll make it Thru' your door No return - I rode above the clouds So far below me But didn't get as high as When you hold me Now I've reached The point of no return I'm at the point of no return I'm watching the candle burn Both ends There's a lesson we Both can learn - this time I don't wanna make a fuss But this is the time for us And I ain't gonna miss the buss This time No return So there'll be no turning back Once I know that You'll be by my side No return Maybe you'll give me all the love You always felt you had to hide No return - I rode above the clouds So far below me But didn't get as high as When you hold me Now I've reached The point of no return No return - so please don't ever do What you've done So many times before No return Because I've made up my mind That this time I'll make it Thru' your door No return I've come a thousand miles Across the ocean But that ain't half As far as my emotion Now I've reached The point of no return
Imagination
(Ken Hensley)
Sometimes I'm certain Sometimes my mind is Filled with doubt Some thoughts lay heavy here Sometimes I think it's figured out Imagination Endless voyage of discovery I'm at once impatient and afraid Some day you may walk out on me At least when you're with me I'm not afraid to live with mystery I'm sure you know how sad One night without a dream can be Imagination, bitter-sweet companion As my time flies by Love-hate relation Hand in hand toward infinity Lead me here, lead me there Everywhere if you really dare Today, tonight, tomorrow You don't have to take my hand I'll take it just the way it's planned Lead on, speed on, I'll follow When you see me coming You're gonna know I'm not alone Me and my imagination We'll be side by side any way The wind is blown Love songs and fantasies They've kept us busy Since the day we met Each new horizon Reminds us now it's not over yet
Feelings
(Ken Hensley)
Feelings, empty feelings Prayin', hopin', needin' Just when I wanted to hold you You're leavin', you're leavin' Leavin', you're leavin' I remember those magic nights Those nights when it All seemed right But I knew that by mornin' You'd be gone And though you tell me That it's not for long It ain't easy here holdin' on You gotta tell me where I stand 'Cause either you don't give a damn Or you don't even care to pretend Or you won't spare a thought Though you know It must come to an end You'd better know that I've made up my mind I gotta high of a different kind And it's gonna take me Where I wanna be Sure I'll miss ya but I gotta choose You can't believe that I came here to lose And you ain't a winner That's easy to see So I'll see you around or I'll write And I'll send you some love 'Cause where I wanna go There ain't nothing to do but move
Fools
(Trevor Bolder)
I know this feeling inside Has just made up my mind I'm gonna take this chance And do what's in my heart You always said that You'd stand by me And help me get along So understand I must do what's in my heart I know this feeling inside Has helped me to carry on So as the days go by And the nights that never end You play the clubs And you play the game The next day you will find You'll have to try and Please that fool again Don't you know that Fools play at games Don't you know that Fools play at games And I know that I'm not afraid of you Day after day I feel this way That I need to be moving on You know I depend on you Don't get me wrong I'll throw the dice and I play the game And hope we get along Even then I won't be fooled again So I've read your words and I've signed my name But I can't make up my mind If you really care or you're Playing your games
Carry On
(Ken Hensley)
Carry on ... So what can I do, what can I say Do I have to stand and Watch you walk away I know there's got to be A better way I just can't go on living for today I thought I heard a voice Out on the wind And I'm sure I heard it say I'd find a friend And it said I'd find The answers in the end All I gotta do is carry on Carry on, carry on, the time is flyin' You need another love Maybe another town Carry on, carry on Don't wait until your hope is gone When your last chance Comes round I'm gonna keep on looking I won't quit Aggravation It ain't gonna hurt a bit And I believe that I have seen the last of it There's nothing left to do But carry on
Won't Have to Wait Too Long
(Ken Hensley — Mick Box — Trevor Bolder)
It's a quarter to seven On a Saturday morning I open my eyes After the Friday night I don't worry about The rain upon my window 'Cause where I'm going I know the sun will always shine So now I'm heading away Down to Rio de Janeiro I'll be leaving all my Lonely times behind And if I'm looking for love in Rio de Janeiro There'll be someone there I know who'll find the time In this golden place There's a smiling face I've got to find And I won't have to wait too long Before she's mine My friends are telling me I'm chasing rainbows Or searching for the Gold beneath the sea But rainbows only shine When it's been raining And gold will never Keep you company So now I'm wonderin' What to say in conversation To the lady of my dreams That I should meet If I speak to her The language of all nations Then I'm sure that she'd be Knocked right off her feet And I know she will Then I'll love her Till the end of time And I won't have to wait too long Before she's mine Well I've been happy enough in Rio de Janeiro I've got a woman here That I can call my own It doesn't matter if I'm living here or there-o 'Cause she used to live Next door to me back home So if you're thinking that I've settled down forever I'll be telling you You've made a big mistake 'Cause I'll be heading away Down to Denver, Colorado There's a woman there I've got to try and make She can fill the hole In my heart and soul For a long, long time And I won't have to wait Too long before she's mine
Out on the Street
(Ken Hensley)
Out on the street, dead on my feet At the mercy of the stone-cold night It's hard to compete In a dead-end street With frustration in your line of sight Do you ever stop to think Do you ever stop at all Do you have the time to feel And if you do Do you know the feeling's real Followed a sign that Pointed the way And I found myself Right back at that start I like to feel good I've tried feeling sad But I can't stand a broken heart Don't wanna wait till my dyin' day To realise I guess I'm lucky in A strange kinda way 'Cause it's clear before my eyes A grey cloud they say Hides a surprise But it rained until I lost my belief Just close your eyes We'll show you the way But I believe I've lost my faith One man speaks and one man does While another soul wields the sword I hear you all, but I still can't see Just who it is Who speaks the chosen word
It ain't Easy
(Trevor Bolder)
You make it all sound easy Now you've tasted all my wine I never wanted to hear the news That you'd found another man But it's hard to see What you want from me It's not easy to be in-between It's now up to you to Make the move this time But it ain't easy when you Don't know where to turn And it ain't easy But you take the chance The final chance to learn Yes, to learn That it ain't easy when you Don't know where to turn And it ain't easy, so you take a look Another look at life - look at life 'Cause it ain't what you've got In the palm of your hand And it's not what you'll get From another man That will last you The rest of your life my friend Monday morning's waiting Take a look at what you see Make the most of your life Don't keep the pages clean Baby, now you've got this chance Don't leave me out It's so hard when You're in-between What you need and What may never be It ain't easy ...
