5. studio album SUNRISE (Ken Hensley) Sunrise, and the new day's breakin' through The morning of another day without you And as the hours roll by No-one's there to see me cry 'Cept the sunrise The sunrise and you Tired eyes drift across the shore Looking for love and nothing more But as the sea rolls by No one's there ro see me cry 'Cept the sunise The sunrise and you Sunrise, bless my eyes Catch my soul make me whole again Sunrise, new day hear my song I am tired of fightin'and foolin' around But from now to who knows when My sword shall be my pen And I'll love You for all of my time Sunrise, bless my eyes Catch my soul make me whole again Sunrise SPIDER WOMAN (Mick Box/David Byron/Lee Kerslake/Gary Thain) I had a Spider Woman and she was so good She chained me in her web so tight I lost the freedom of release that night So I stayed right by her I dreamt I saw a blind man who was singing a song About a guy who couln't take no more And the meaning af the words he swore Told me go find her She was a Spider Woman but she was good to me Spider Woman, but she was good to me I told her 'bout my vision But she laughed in my face So I told her go and walk in the street But by the time she got past my feet I lost control She was a Spider Women, but she was good to me Spider Women, but she was good to me BLIND EYE (Ken Hensley) Stranger than the sunrise Darker than the night Fiercer than a rainstorm This is man's delight Weaker than o moment Hot as any fire Blinder than the blind eye This is man's desire I ran to a place in the open sea where I pledged my whole life to the sun I was good for awhile, l could laugh, I could smile But when l woke up one day the sun had gone So what of my meaning What am I trying to say What of my caution I'm a man anyway ECHOES IN THE DARK (Ken Hensley) l have heard the echoes in the dark Dim and distant voices of the past And l've seen so far into the night And lingered in the land of no light Far beyond the shrouded hours of dawn Through the mist of daybreak I was borne But the day was clouded still by night Leaving me in the land of no light Though I'd love to Say hello to You You might have to wait awhile to say goodbye For it must end as it began And then start again The day of darkness comes to every man And lingers while he reaches out his hand And he cannot know how it will end Till he finds out if he has a friend ... a friend ... a friend RAIN (Ken Hensley) It's raining outside but that's not unusual But the way that l'm feeling is becoming usual I guess you could say The clouds are moving away Away from your days And into mine Now it's raining inside it's kind of a shame And it's getting to me, a happy man Why should you want to waste all my time The world it yours But I am mine Rain, rain, rain in my tears measuring carefully my years Shame, shame, shame in my mind See what you ve'done to my life SWEET LORRAINE (Mick Box/David Byron/Gary Thain) Would you like to take this magic potion with me On a trip to a cosmic playground far beyond She understands, she's been before It's in her hands to find the door Sweet Lorraine let the party carry on You and I will swim the sea Sweet Lorraine let the party carry on You and I can feel the breeze There's no time, no wealth, only I surround you The fortune of this guide is simple sincerity TALES (Ken Hensley) We told our tales as we sat under Morning's sleepy sky With all the colours of the sunrise Shining in your eyes One, then another, with a story of yesterdays lives Or of a lover who was gone in a Moment of strife No thought of sleep ever dwells upon The wise man's mind Some task or audience stealing every Moment of his time Thus we have learned to live While mortal man stand wating to die How can we do what must be done in Just one short life And if you ask, then you must know If you still doubt, you should be told It was not we that made it so It was by those who went before And there you sit, tomorrow child So full of love, so full of life But you must rise to meet the day Lest you become another tale THE MAGICIAN'S BIRTHDAY (Ken Hensley/Mick Box/Lee Kerslake) In the magic garden Some were singing, some were dancing While the midnight mooon shone brightly overhead The stars so gaily glistened And the sphinx in silence listened to The magician tell of lives that he had led Let the bells of freedom ring Songs of love to Friday's king Let's all go to the magician's birthday In the, forrest but no so far away Much to do and so much to say While we listened to the orchid orchestra play Then at the dead of midnigt As we watched the dancing firelight The air grew cold and seemed to dull the flame The fire died, the music faded Filled with fear of death we waited For now we knew some evil was to blame I challenge you, I challenge you all For all you own and all you know And by all the powers of darkness I will Steal what is mine Surrender now or face my spite I grant you it may be Friday night But did you know this day Also numbers thirteen First I give you fire I turn your fire into a sleepy stream Yes, but now I give you nightmares But from your honor I'll create a dream You cannot fight me for I have the sword of hate But one thing you can't see, my answer is simply An impenetrable fortress of love - love - love FINALE: The fear went as quickly as it came The air was clear, the fire was burned again The flames leapt, the organ played The swans sang to greet the day And then we knew that Love will find love will find love will find Love ... Bonus tracks: SILVER WHITE MAN (David Byron) (instrumental) CRYSTAL BALL (GARY'S SONG) (Gary Thain) Do we live our lives in moderation? Does this appear when you're around? And the deeper in debt The harder the bet Your thoughts are one of a clown Look out before you sign Your soul away The crystal ball, it seems Is not reading to - reading today Does the time seem right For some rethinking? It seems a gift that you have Are you living a dream Of express progress? It's just a thought that you have Oh, you should've know better When the warning light was lit As it did for others You preach a sermon When you talk of the Messiah We are yet to discover Thinkin', lovin', feelin' But disbelievin' ...
