Cry Wolf #1

La la la, la la...la la...la la la

You couldn't wait for answers
You just
Had to try those wings
And all your
Happy ever afters....
They didn't mean a thing

So I'm not gonna try at all...
To keep you from the flame
But just remember not to call...
My name

Cause you cried wolf
Once too often
You cried wolf
No, I...won't come knocking
You cry wolf

Anymore...

And if you start to stumble
And if you start to crack
If you're feeling humble
Don't look back

Cause you cried wolf
Once too often
You cry wolf
No, I...won't come knocking
You cry wolf
I don't see you...anymore

You can try, but you can't get me
Into the fire...
Cause I'm all out of sympathy baby
And I can't walk the wire

Find yourself somebody new
To catch you when you fall
Cause I got just one thing to say to you
And baby that's all

Watch Chain

Lovely soft faded jeans
A very soft shirt in a light blue
Perfect dreams...
And a watch chain
Becomes you...
You're just a watch chain
And it becomes you
A watch chain
A watch chain

Watch devil...
Keeper of the time

Lovely soft tired face
Touching fingers through the kitchen lace
I think that I should hold your hand
I'm hurting darling
Do you understand
Well, I'm hurting darling
Do you understand

Watch chain
A watch chain
A watch chain
A watch devil..
A watch chain
Keeper of the time...
A watch chain
A watch devil

Mmm mmm mmm mmm

Be aware of the danger
As you cross the great water
Be careful of strangers
Who are new to your eyes
Beware of the people
Who look not straight at you

The keeper of the time...
Is blind
The keeper of the time
Is blind

Watch devil

Storms #1 (instrumental)
 

Storms #2

Every night that...goes between...
I feel a little less...
As you slowly go away from me...
This is only another test

And every night you do not come...
Your softness fades away...
Did I ever...really care that much...
Is there anything left to say...

And every
Hour of
Fear I spend...
Ooh...
My body tries to cry
And livin'
Through each
Empty night...
A deadly calm inside....

I haven't felt this way I feel...
Since many a year ago...
But in those years and the lifetimes past...
Well, I did not deal with the road...
And I did not deal with you, I know...
Although the love has always...been....
So I try to find the...answer now...
Well so, I can truly win....

And every
Hour of
Fear I spend...
My body tries to cry
And livin'
Through each
Empty night...
A deadly calm inside....
Oh a deadly...
Calm in...side....

Try to say good...bye my friend...
Like to leave you with something...warm...
But never have I been a
Blue calm sea...
I have always
Been a storm
Always
Been a storm
Ooh...
Always
Been a...storm....

Ooh
Never have I been a blue calm sea...
Storm
I loved you from the start
Ooh
A storm...
Oh every night
That goes between...

Ooh...
I loved you from the start...
I loved you from the start...
Oh oh
Never have I been a blue calm sea
Oh..
I loved you from the start
 

Love You Enough

You look at me...
And I know you've not forgotten
You still make me laugh
In the laughter we were lost in
I still love you
Though we cannot be in love
But when I see you
I just can't...get enough...
When I see you
I just can't get enough...

I look at you
And I know you have not changed
Still in my dreams
And still, their all the same
And I had to let you go
They say all the doors are shut
But in my heart
I will never
Give you up
In my heart
I will never
Give you up

Oh...I'll
Never be able to
Love you enough
Though my spirit
Lies deep inside your soul
No, my love can never be tended or be bought
And my love for you will
Never get old

I guess we tried
To close our eyes
Ooh...
But we are not children
No, we tried
You are not old
I am not wise
But when it was
It was fine
Fine...
But when it was
It was fine

Oh...I'll
Never be able to love...you enough
Though my spirit
Lies deep inside your soul
And my love can never be tended or be bought
No my love for you will never
Grow cold
Baby...
Never...grow old

Oh...I'll
Never be able to
Love you enough
Though my spirit
It lies deep inside your soul
No, my love will never be tended or be bought...
Oh my love
Will never
Get old
Darling
Never
Grow cold
Darling...
Never...
Get old
No, my...
 

Secret Love

Stevie: 1, 2

Come on it's time to go upstairs
But I don't want to be leaving you here
I can't go be in that room alone
When I know that you're down here in tears....

I am not asking forever from you
I'm just asking to be held for awhile
In a timeless search
For love that might work
Still we're already paying the price...

But
You need some rest
My darling, it's best
'But we've already passed it'
I cried

Ooh ooh oohee
Listen to me
My secret love secretly....died

Come on it's time to go upstairs
But I don't want to be leaving you here
I can't go be in that room alone
When I know that you're down here in tears...

I'm not asking forever from you
I'm just asking to be held for awhile
In a timeless search
For love that might work...
Still we're already paying the price

But you need some rest
My darling it's best
'But we've already passed it'
I cried

Oohee
Listen to me
My secret love secretly died

Oh...
You need some rest
Oh...
You need some rest
My darling it's best

Ooh ooh ooh...
My secret love secretly....
Secretly died....

Outside the rain
Heart skips a beat
Are you lonely
Creature of the night
It's been almost a week
Love me only

You look at me
A very long time
Long enough to fall
Love is a word
I'm trying to learn
Words don't matter...all
No no

So you're lonely
You say it's been forever
Did you ever...know me
Did you think that you'd ever
Start changing
So I would've loved
To believe
She'd start changing
So I woulda loved
To believe
Believe

Loved to believe

Outside the rain
Heart skips a beat
Are you lonely
Creature of the night
It's been almost a week
Love me only

You look at me
For a very long time
Long enough to fall
Love is a word
I'm trying to learn
Words don't matter...at all
No no...no...

Crystal visions don't see it

Look in my
Touch my face

There's no one
Look in my eyes
Touch my face

...dream...
I don't wanna feel that
This could be one more link...in the chain
Believe that

Shadow of something lost
And not gone like a sandman
Lost to the ones
Who hung on
What caused the trauma
It's some drama

Trying to believe
It's just me
Askin' my...life <?>
The jealousy was mine
I liked it
When it was only love
While the love is blind

Stevie: Chorus

We...
It's one more link...in the chain...
I don't wanna lost that

So I..couldn't love
What you say
Blown away
A risk of my feelings
You would not
Give me up
Because you...loved me
You ran away from love

You run
But to run is never enough
But you run
But to run...is never enough

It's not that you
Were ever so bad
It's just me
It was never...any good
The jealousy was mine
And I like it
But...
The love was blind

In love and war
Nothing was fair

Reel #58 - 12/19/88

Rooms On Fire

Somewhere....

Somewhere out in the back of your mind
Comes your...real life and the life that you know...
It seems like
It was a creation of some of those same old things...
It seemed to be the
Only...thing left out in the light

She had trusted many
But been unfamiliar with
Almost everyone but you...

Well, maybe I'm just thinking
That the rooms are all on fire
Every time that you walk in the room
Well, there is magic all around you
If I do say so myself
I have known this much longer than I've known you

She had trusted many
And then there would be someone who would enter into her presence...
That she could search for miles....
She dreamed of her wanton luxury
And she laughed and she cried and she...tried to taunt him

And he hated
To be separated
From that picture...no....

Well, maybe I'm just thinking
That the rooms are all on fire
Oh, every time that you walk in the room
Ooh
Well, there is magic all around you
If I do say so myself
Well, I have known this much longer than I've known you

Long nets of white cloud my memory
Long nets of white cloud my memory

Ooh...
There is magic
All around you
Every time you walk in the room

Well, maybe I'm just thinking
That the rooms are all on fire
Every time that you walk in the room
Well, there is magic all around you
If I do say so myself
Well, I have known this much longer than I know you

Well, maybe I'm just thinking
That the rooms are all on fire
Every time that you walk in the room
Well, there is magic all around you
If I do say so myself
I have known this much longer than I've known you

Maybe I'm just thinking that
The rooms are all on fire
Every time that you walk in the room
Ooh
Well, there is magic all around you
If I do say so myself
Well, I have known this much longer than I've known you

Well, maybe I'm just thinking
That the rooms are all on fire
Every time that you walk in the room
Well, there is magic all around you
If I do say so myself
Well, I have known this much longer than I know you
 

Ooh My Love

Ooh my love...
Ooh my love...

In the shadow of the castle walls
Wherever those walls were
Well you used to love..
To be behind
Those walls with her

Within these walls...
Well, he watched from the corridor
Watched...from the corner of his eyes
Seemingly awaiting for the time
When the castle walls
Would all fall down

Yes...
It was a strain on her
Watching her castles fall down
Oh oh...
But there was a time when
He called her 'angel'
Where...in the world...did you come from...
Yes...
It was a strain on her
Watching her castles fall down
Oh...
But there was a time when
He called her 'angel'
Where...in the world...did you come from...

In the shadow of the castle wall
Wherever those walls were
In this land or
In that land
Well the castles all seemed
To belong to her...

And all this talk...
About love and hate
And our separation way on down the line
Well they just can't wait, can they
No they just can't wait...

Yes...
It was a strain on her
Watching her castles fall down
Oh oh...
But there was a time when
He called her 'angel'
Where...in the world...did you come from...
Yes...
It was a strain on her
Watching her castles fall down
Oh...
But there was a time when
He called her 'angel'
Where...in the world...did you come from...

There was a light that lighted the way
To the chamber where they spent all their time
Well
There was a light that lighted the way to the chamber door where
They seemed to spend all their time...

Ooh my love...
Ooh my love...
Ooh my love...

Yes...
It was a strain on her
Watching her castles fall down
Oh oh...
But there was a time when
He called her 'angel'
Where...in the world...did you come from...
Yes...
It was a strain on her
(it's still a strain on her)
Watching her castles fall down
Oh...
But there was a time when
He called her 'angel'
Where...in the world...did you come from...

Yes...
It was a strain on her
(yes...it's still a strain on me)
Watching her castles fall down
Oh oh...
But there was a time when
He called her 'angel'
Where...in the world...did you come from...
(no no)
Yes...
It was a strain on her
(in the castle walls...)
Watching her castles fall down
Oh oh...
(in the shadow of the castle walls...)
But there was a time when
He called her 'angel'
Where...in the world...did you come from...

Yes...
It was a strain on her
(in the shadow of the castle walls...)
Watching her castles fall down
Oh oh...
But there was a time when
He called her 'angel'
Where...in the world...did you come from...
Yes...
It was a strain on her
Watching her castles fall down
Oh oh...
But there was a time when
He called her 'angel'
Where...in the world...did you come from...

Yes...
It was a strain on her
Watching her castles fall down
Oh oh...
But there was a time when
He called her 'angel'
Where...in the world...did you come from...

Yes...
It was a strain on her

Reel #60 - 12/19/88

Ghosts

And, when the rain was there
There were many nights
And a few of them
Were all that you had dreamed of
Love was the thing
And you feel as if
Someone was following you
Ooh
But you know you are wrong
It's just the ghost of what you want to be
And the ghost
Of the past that you live in

It's just the ghost of
What you really want
And it's the ghost of the past that you live in
And it's the ghost of the future you are frightened of
So you look
To your guardian angel

So long ago
I was an innocent
It had nothing to do with age
One day they were lovers
One day they were friends
There was nothing else to say...

Well, it's just the ghost of
What you want to be
And the ghost of the past that you live in
It's the ghost of the future you're so frightened of
So you turn
To your guardian angel

And a few of them
Were all that you
Really dreamed of
Love was the thing
So the silver-haired girl
Looks for escapisms

To feel the empty spaces she's feeling
She depends on her music like a husband
And she knows it's no good to fall in love again

One day they were lovers
One day they were friends
There was nothing else to say...

It's just the ghost of the past
Of what you want to be
And the ghost of the past that you live in
Ghost of the future that
You're so frightened of
So you look
To your guardian
So you look
To your guardian angel
Some of them are here on...earth
Well, some of them are way up there in heaven....

So you look to your guardian
Some of them are
Here on earth
Some of them are
Way up there in heaven.....
In heaven...
 

Whole Lotta Trouble

Would you change your mind
At the very last...moment
Would you say 'stop for a second'
I'll bet you couldn't think...for a minute
In the morning light
He says 'when will I see you'
She says 'I don't think tomorrow, baby'
Sometimes I wonder
If things would change
If we stayed together
Would you change your mind
At the very last...minute
I think you should stop
For a second
Think for a moment

This could be a
Whole lotta trouble
Whole lot of trouble
Whole lot of trouble for you....
Be a whole lot of trouble
A whole lot of trouble
A whole lot of trouble for you...

And the angel said
'Well you must've had a dream'
And you remember it
Till the dream followed through
Till the
Oh...end of the dream
And the dream came true
When I want something
I get it
'You'd better go'
He says 'Yes I think I'd better
Stop for a moment
I think you should think for a minute
Would you change your mind
At the very last...minute
When I want something
I get it

Whole lot of trouble
Whole lot of trouble
Whole lot of trouble for you...
Oh yeah..
Whole lot of trouble, baby
Whole lot of trouble...baby
Whole lot of trouble for you

Oh yeah...
Oh yeah...
Not guilty
Have mercy
Oh he says 'you could be my prisoner'
Well you're not living in the real world
You're not living in the real world

You're not my friend
You're not my love
And this is something that we really don't discuss
Where are you
Sometimes I hear you crying
And I wake up
And I get through it

Well, this could be a whole lot of trouble
Whole lot of trouble
Whole lotta trouble for you
Well this could be a whole lotta trouble
Whole lot of trouble
Whole lot of trouble for you

Whoa...
Well this could be a
Whole lotta trouble
Whole lot of trouble, baby
Whole lot of trouble for you
Well this could be a
Whole...lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble for you

Whole lotta trouble
Whole lot of trouble
Whole lotta trouble for you
Yeah...
This could be a
Whole lot of trouble, baby
Whole lotta trouble, baby
Whole lot of trouble for you

This could be a
Whole....lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble for you
Whole lot of trouble, baby
Whole lotta trouble
This could be a
Whole lotta trouble for you....

For you...
Whole lotta trouble for you

Whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble for you
This could be a
Whole lotta trouble baby
Whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble for you
