6. studio album DREAMER (Gary Thain/Mick Box) A dollar deal was hidden down in my shoe So listen friends, I tell you what I'm gonna do Run up the road of mystery Hangin' by a thread to a fantasy A background black showing my face Buried in the image of an empty space I'm back on my feet Getting no sleep Makin' it all mine Give me a chance To follow the bands Waitin' for the sunshine Husslin' my will in a bar downtown If it don't work now I'll keep movin' around Till I'm back on my feet Getting no sleep Makin' it all mine Give me a chance To follow the bands Waitin' for the sunshine Dreamer Dreamer hangin' around Dreamer Dreamer trying to hitch a ride Dreamer Dreamer hangin' around Dreamer Dreamer when I turn my back you're by my side Fightin' my way through the back stage door Staring at my goall till my eyes get sore Working my way through the little I say Caring no less just the light of the day A background black showing my face Buried in the image of an empty space I'm back on my feet Getting no sleep Makin' it all mine Give me a chance To follow the bands Waitin' for the sunshine Dreamer Dreamer hangin' around Dreamer Dreamer trying to hitch a ride Dreamer Dreamer hangin' around Dreamer Dreamer when I turn my back you're by my side Dreamer Dreamer ... STEALIN' (Ken Hensley) Take me across the water 'cause I need some place to hide I done the ranchers daughter and I sure did hurt his pride There's a hundred miles of desert lies between his hide and mine I don't need no food or water, Lord, I'm running out of time Fightin', killin', wine and women gonna put me to my grave Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin', nothing left to save But my life Stood on a ridge and shunned religion Thinking the world was mine Make my break and a big mistake Stealin' when I should have been buyin' Fightin', killin', wine and women gonna put me to my grave Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin', nothing left to save But my life Stood on a ridge and shunned religion Thinking the world was mine Make my break and a big mistake Stealin' when I should have been buyin' ONE DAY (Ken Hensley/Gary Thain) Didn't I tell you everything was gonna be allright I never doubted it was just a matter of time A thought I travelled across the desert of despair I knew I'd get there one day How times have changed, re-arranging everything But it can't change the love I bring When I get back home to you I am the same, it's just a game that I chose to play But remember I can lose as fast as I won one day I still remember the hole in the wall Where we all sat though you said we'd fall The dusty yard and the broken down barn Where you and me used to share a yarn But it it's gone now Didn't I tell you everything was gonna be allright I never doubted it was just a matter of time A thought I travelled across the desert of despair I knew I'd get there one day SWEET FREEDOM (Ken Hensley) As I look around you, do you like what you see? Thought it sometimes makes you lonely, do you like being free? And are you sure you'll be okay without my company? I just want you to be happy, even if it not with me Sweet sweet freedom Sweet sweet sweet Will the line between all this And my love ever meet Sweet sweet freedom Sweet sweet sweet What I'm really tryin' to say is that I will be around Would you find that after all you can't get by with what you've found Cause it wasn't just my heart you took and tossed into the sea Though it's hard to find the words I need - - I guess it was me IF I HAD THE TIME (Ken Hensley) If I had the time to re-live my life I don't think I'd care, to change a thing As long as I find, just a little peace of mind I can dream and laugh and I can sing I can have my fun, with the silver stars I can watch the sun, fall in the sea And if it rains I will smile just the same For the rain will make the flowers sing I know how it is to feel sad I know how it is when things go bad But I'm sure that I have found the way I'm happy here and here I'll stay If I had the time, to re-live my life I don't think I'd care, to change a thing As long as I find, just a little peace of mind I can dream and laugh and I can sing SEVEN STARS (Ken Hensley) Don't try to be anything else but what you are Don't try to do anything else but the things you do Cause I had a dream ahout seven stars And the seven good things that you are To me The very reason I'm livin' is for lovin' you And the seasons are changin' makin' it all come true With the spring and clearing skies Love's soft light will fill my eyes For you Who fills my head with these dreams as I'm leaving my mind Seven new stars are born, seven lie waiting to die The very reason I'm livin' is for lovin' you And the seasons are changin' makin' it all come true With the spring and clearing skies Love's soft light will fill my eyes For you Who fills my head with these dreams as I'm leaving my mind Seven new stars are born, seven lie waiting to die CIRCUS (Gary Thain/Mick Box/Lee Kerslake) Walkin' around this concrete garden Viewing all in vain Thinking why a dream is driving everyone insane Then something will come and make you feel The master in control Still you're pickin' up and screwing anyone Who's gotta soul I've been there far too long to remember Sights and sounds from this town of clowns Makin' up, dressin' up, walkin' around Thinkin' that you're Greta Garbos I'm sorry my dears but we only sat down And laughed and laughed in sorrow But it was you that opened the door And it's that we thank you for Walkin' around this concrete garden Viewing all in vain Thinking why a dream is driving everyone insane PILGRIM (Ken Hensley/David Byron) Pilgrim at the grey of dawn Leaving in the mist of morning On his journey of goodness Heaven sent, God blessed Pilgrim laughing at the world Spreading joy at the touch of his hand Wiping out all the misery Making love and history Those of us who don't know war Shouldn't try to make it So many did and even more died Do you think you could take it Love lies waiting at my back door Such a beautiful matter of fact Life's like an apple with love as the core And I'll tell you 'bout that Just a man in my prime Love was there but I had no time I was cheered and adored And I thought fame was all the world Battles won and victory cheers Were the sounds I'd heard for years But the women I really loved Was losing me to all this blood I only knew, I had to win and Build a world where I was king But leaders come and leaders go And that's the truth I came to know Love or war I couldn't choose And so both I came to lose Bonus tracks: SUNSHINE (Gary Thain/Mick Box) For many years I thought like a man Feeling his way through darkness This priceless treasure for which I've searched Appeared to me nothing more than a mirage in the sea But when the vision faded From this struggle and dream Suddenly my illusion was staring I now discovered was reality Sunshine, Sunshine, Sunshine, I've found you Even if you're only, even if you're only Even if you're only just in for a while Sunshine, Sunshine, Sunshine, I've found you Even if you're only destined for a while I devote most depressions And I write this with a smile As the picture book shows Stanley Standing at the source of the Nile But when the vision faded From this struggle and dream Suddenly my illusion was staring I now discovered was reality Sunshine, Sunshine, Sunshine, I've found you Even if you're only just in for a while Sunshine, Sunshine, Sunshine, I've found you Even if you're only destined for a while (repeat to end) STEALIN' (Ken Hensley) Take me across the water 'cause I need some place to hide I done the ranchers daughter and I sure did hurt his pride There's a hundred miles of desert lies between his hide and mine I don't need no food or water, Lord, I'm running out of time Fightin', killin', wine and women gonna put me to my grave Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin', nothing left to save But my life Stood on a ridge and shunned religion Thinking the world was mine Make my break and a big mistake Stealin' when I should have been buyin' Fightin', killin', wine and women gonna put me to my grave Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin', nothing left to save But my life Stood on a ridge and shunned religion Thinking the world was mine Make my break and a big mistake Stealin' when I should have been buyin' SEVEN STARS (Ken Hensley) Don't try to be anything else but what you are Don't try to do
