@ALBUM: cornerstone Author: Styx Album title: Cornerstone @SONG: Lights I heard the knock on my door I heard the ring of the bell I got the letter, but I couldn't go So many thoughts in my head, so many places to be So many faces that I long to see Standing in front of me Tonight the lights will take me where I long to be Just like a thousand nights before Somebody said to me Why do you do this to you Why not sit back and relax Go to the Islands and forget it all Slow down, you're moving too fast You seem afraid it won't last Take my advice, go straight and settle down Thank you for caring, but Tonight the lights will take me where I long to be Just like a thousand nights before I can't explain, it gives me some pain Give me the lights Precious lights Give me lights Give me my hope, give me my energy You can turn the wrong into right Precious lights Illuminate me, won't you watch me play Give me the lights Precious lights Give me lights Give me my hope, give me my energy You can turn the wrong into right Precious lights Illuminate me, won't you watch me play Words and Music Tommy Shaw / Dennis De Young @SONG: Why Me I guess we used to be the lucky ones Whose fortune smiles on everyone Stop A voice said you best beware Stop Bad luck is everywhere And sure enough the voice was right My luck changed overnight Stop Please tell me what went wrong Stop I can't take these ups and downs Hard times come, hard times go And in between you hope and pray The scars don't show 'Cause life is strange and so unsure The days you hardly make it through You swear that there's a curse on you 'Cause nothing seems to fit And things won't go your way You know you've had enough You've got the right to say Why me, why me Stop Here comes anxiety Stop Won't you please let me be, I need relief Hard times come, hard times go In between you hope and pray The scars don't show 'Cause life is strange and so unsure The days you hardly make it through You're sure that there is a curse on you If nothing seems to fit And things won't go your way You know you've had enough You can't take another day Where to go and what to do You've got those bills to pay You're really not alone you know 'Cause everybody says, Why me Words and Music Dennis De Young @SONG: Babe Babe I'm leaving I must be on my way The time is drawing near My train is going I see it in your eyes The love, the need, your tears But I'll be lonely without you And I'll need your love to see me through So please believe me My heart is in your hands I'll be missing you 'Cause you know it's you babe Whenever I get weary And I've had enough Feel like giving up You know it's you babe Giving me the courage And the strength I need Please believe that it's true Babe, I love you Babe, I'm leaving I'll say it once again And somehow try to smile I know the feeling we're trying to forget If only for awhile 'Cause I'll be lonely without you And I'll need your love to see me through Please believe me My heart is in your hands 'Cause I'll be missing you Babe, I love you Words and Music Dennis De Young @SONG: Never Say Never Never, never, never say never Ne dis jamais jamais Better, better believe in forever And it can be that way You think that you could never love again The one time really tore you apart So don't even try to touch your heart You're never going to give it again Never, never, never say never Ne dis jamais jamais Better, better believe in forever And it can be that way You think that too much joy can only bring pain Before you know it, it can be gone But give me a chance to prove you're wrong You'll never say never again Never, never, never say never Ne dis jamais jamais Better, better believe in forever And it can be that way Take time to smell the roses Don't hold back your one chance It hardly lasts, it hardly lasts Better, better believe in forever Out here I stand with my heart in my hand My hopes on a wing and a prayer I must have been born with a hole in my head Cause I've never said these things before Never, never, never say never Ne dis jamais jamais Better, better believe in forever And it can be that way Words and Music Tommy Shaw @SONG: Boat On The River Take me back to my boat on the river I need to go down, I need to come down Take me back to my boat on the river And I won't cry out anymore Time stands still as I gaze in her water She eases me down Touching me gently with the waters That flow Past my boat on the river So I don't cry out anymore Oh the river is wise The river it touches my life like The waves on the sand And all roads lead to tranquility base Where the frown on my face disappears Take me down to my boat on the river And I won't cry out anymore Oh the river is deep The river it touches my life like The waves on the sand And all roads lead to tranquility base Where the frown on my face disappears Take me down to my boat on the river I need to go down, won't you let me go down Take me back to my boat on the river And I won't cry out anymore Words and Music Tommy Shaw @SONG: Borrowed Time I was so cool back in sixty-five I had it made 'cause I understood what to do to survive I had my car, and I made the scene Didn't give a damn about no gasoline They can go to hell My friend we never thought about the world And its realities The promised land was ours We were the Great Society I'm so confused by the things I read, I need the truth But the truth is, I don't know who to believe The left say yes, and the right says no I'm in between and the more I learn Well, the less that I know I got to make a show Livin' high, living fine Livin' high on borrowed time Faith be with me now I'm just a dreamer in a dreamland Faith be with me now I'm just a dreamer in a dreamland 'Cause we're Livin' high, living fine Livin' high on borrowed time Words and Music by Dennis De Young / Tommy Shaw @SONG: First Time The lights are low And we're alone The fire's glow It keeps us warm As I reach out and touch your face The moon lights up our first embrace But please don't hesitate Hold my hand, don't be afraid Of the feelings in your heart Just close your eyes, no one will mind If we're to fall in love this first time Don't be afraid of love Don't be afraid of love Don't be afraid of love It's the first time The first time for love There could be so many worlds and mountains We could climb Together, the two of us tonight The two of us, we're quite a pair These lonely nights we both can share So don't be shy, 'cause it's okay I understand feeling that way Hold my hand, don't be afraid Of the feelings in your heart Close your eyes, no one will mind If we're to fall in love this first time It's the first time The first time for love There could be so many worlds and mountains We could climb Together, the two of us tonight Words and Music Dennis De Young For Paul @SONG: Eddie I woke up today, the papers spoke of a man we know He's made of the stuff they say that first made our country grow Living in style, traveling to distant lands Better hang tough, for now it's time to make your stand Can we ignore the basic facts of history Or deny what people say is destiny I think the message is ever so loud and clear Eddie, now don't you run You know you're a bootlegger's son And you saw just what it's done to the others Eddie, now don't you run It's the end of all your fun And you saw just what they've done To your brothers Can we ignore the basic facts of history Or deny what people say is destiny First in the eighties but last of the sons First in the eyes of his countrymen I think the message is ever so loud and clear Eddie, now don't you run You know you're a bootlegger's son And you saw just what it's done to the others Eddie, now don't you run It's the end of all your fun And you saw just what they've done To your brothers Words and Music James Young @SONG: Love In The Midnight The time is now to take my wares to the street And I know how, the street's been good to me Maybe it's the sign of a wise man Maybe it's the sign of a fool Maybe it's the night for a rendezvous with a woman like you It's gone too far, I'll take my life into the streets I feel the need and I can't stop myself Maybe it's time to be a strong man Maybe it's time to be cool Maybe I'll take to the boulevard Where there's nothing I won't do Can you tell me where my heart is When I'm looking for love in the midnight There's a burning in my body And I'm looking for love in the midnight Better hold on tight, I'm a ravenous man I'll tell you anything to make you think I'm alright You know the moonlight brings out the devil in me For tomorrow, I'll regret it in the daylight Can you tell me where my heart is When I'm looking for love in the midnight Won't you tell me where my heart is When I'm looking for love Better hold on tight, I'm a ravenous man I'll tell you anything to make you think I'm alright You know the moonlight brings out the devil in me For tomorrow, I'll regret it in the daylight Can you tell me where my heart is When I'm looking for love in the midnight There's a burning in my body And I'm looking for love in the midnight Won't you tell me where my heart is When I'm looking for love Words and
