7. studio album WONDERWORLD (Ken Hensley) We freely speak of dreams We marvel at what they conceal But in my wonderworld Each sleeping vision is so real So I believe and hope That all the things I see May one day bring such truth and peace As we can feel Free from this waking world Deep in sleep's mystery My will is free to wander Free to wander carelessly At times it's not so far from what We call reality And at times I know I wonder If it all could come true Oh, Mr. Wonderworld Don't be afraid 'Cause dreams were made Were made to dim the light The torment day can bring And leave you free To laugh aloud and hear Your heart bells ring Oh, oh, Mr. Wonderworld Mr. Wonderworld SUICIDAL MAN (Mick Box/David Byron/Ken Hensley/Lee Kerslake/Gary Thain) Waiting by window Staring at my shadow Not believing what I'd seen Touching but not feeling And wondering in what I was dealing And not knowing where I'd been So I began walking And to myself I was talking But didn't know whitch way to go Then I found a direction And now I needed some action But I should have just said no Should have just said no Why won't you help me or give me a hand 'Cause I'm close to becoming a suicidal man What I need is someone with a definite plan I've waited for just about as long as I can Suicidal Man So on my travels Still with all my troubles I found someone who cared The answer was so easy That all she did to please me Was to say a problem's smaller when it's shared THE SHADOWS AND THE WIND (Ken Hensley) Oh, they're movin' in again Hidden by the shadows and the wind But we'll just wait awhile and then We'll show 'em all that this time we ain't givin' in Without a care they sweep aside our dreams To try and make way for their own No more should we surrender to their schemes It's time to stand and show them we are not alone Time has changed us all We have our minds Life was taught us We all have our love And it's time to use it Nature gave us colour, day and night So if you've really got a reason, then you better be right The seasons of the year show spring and fall But there's nothing in the world that says it's right to fight SO TIRED (Mick Box/David Byron/Ken Hensley/Lee Kerslake/Gary Thain) Well I've been on the road for a year or more And I've done a lotta things I never did before Now I want everyone to listen to my song And you can tell me when you've heard it, if you think I'm wrong 'Cause I'm so tired Of everbody staring at me Yes I'm so tired And I'm so uninspired Please, help me Well I've seen 'em rise and I've seen 'em fall And I used to think that I was having a ball But I was kiddin' myself for a long long time But now I got myself a spoon I'm feelin' fine Where can you go, where can you go When there is no-one to show a guiding light What did you say, what did you say Have you been thinking about me day and light THE EASY ROAD (Ken Hensley) If you're looking for a place You can fly together And you're really afraid Of what you're leaving behind Take the easiest road But take care my brother For you'll never find peace With a troubled mind Far better to love each other Than to worry so deeply 'Bout the place you're in Far better to kiss her softly Than looking back on a love You'll never have again Time's as fickle As the sky in winter And two hearts always Were better than one Love has the wings Of a tireless angel She'll stay beside you Till the day is done SOMETHING OR NOTHING (Mick Box/Ken Hensley/Gary Thain) There's never a day when I've got nothing to do 'Cause something to me might mean nothing to you So don't look at me strangely now We'll find the line that's in the middle and run Something, something or nothing You say you love to spend days, but I will save mine Waiting for the sun in your eyes to turn the rivers to wine But don't look at me strangely now We'll find the line that's in the middle and run I WON'T MIND (Mick Box/David Byron/Ken Hensley/Lee Kerslake/Gary Thain) I don't mind if you steal my last dime Just leave me anytime, and I'll get along fine I don't really know why But I know I'll get by If I don't, I'll die tryin' If it's rains again, I'm gonna fly to the sun 'Cause nothin' gets done, just sittin' around Look at the way it's bin Just waitin' and wanderin' I've just got to keep tryin' Looking for gold in the sky gets kinda rough Maybe I'm to blame 'cause I didn't look hard enough But I still get the feelin' That it shouldn't be so tough So I won't mind I won't mind WE GOT WE (Mick Box/David Byron/Ken Hensley/Lee Kerslake/Gary Thain) I got you You got me We are where we belong Safe places Warm faces All have been gone too long Sky writing Inviting Dissapears amidst the cloud False promise The last cold kiss All seems so distant now Just with each other We are all so well armed And with a little care we need Never be harmed We've got we And there's love Before our eyes We can't have it And hold it If we realise DREAMS (Mick Box/David Byron/Ken Hensley) You should have seen Tuesday's dream Dancing in my head For you'd have heard A thousands words That nobody had said And you'd have watched me try to run Where dreams have never strayed Heard my cries because I knew I really was afraid Dreams, dreams I'll never keep My body rests, but my eyes refuse to sleep Sights and sounds mymind created Far beyond the thoughts of which we speak And then we danced on silver wings Upon a gilded thread And heard the song the angels sings To bless my lowered head And at the door of paradise My best laid plan begun But as I turned to reach for you My coloured night it was gone Bonus tracks: WHAT CAN I DO (Mick Box/Lee Kerslake/David Byron) I wish you'd stop and Give a helping hand For I guess I'm only half a man I feel the only way for me to leave Is just to give you Everything I can give 'Cause without you, without you What can I do I will give you all the love I have Just to know you stop me Being so sad I hope you won't think So badly of me 'Cause I had to tell you This could break myself in Being helpless is a habit of mine No one else can understand You are the one to Help me to survive If you're any friend of mine Yesterday you gave a helping hand To some one you'll never understand Though I tried to tell you of this way You said I had nothing Constructive to say But without you, without you What can I do ...

Love rules over me Something I have failed to see The haunted of a memory Darkness keeps my thoughts at bay But I will find my dream one day Hate, hate is my only thought Blame, the blame is on you Why, why, why, why Why did you leave my side? Heaven knows quite a few Something I have failed to see Like a haunted of a memory Darkness keeps my thoughts at bay But I will find my dream one day STONE'S THROW (Mick Box/David Byron/Ken Hensley/Lee Kerslake/Gary Thain) I was a stone's throw From happiness Feeling love grow in your caress It was like nothing I had felt or seen And I waited impatiently Oh, stone's throw And I can't stand to see you go You hurt me bad, cut me down But it just don't work without you Without you around It was a short walk Now it's a lonely ride It turned my day Into a lifeless night It was my belief and Now it's my regret I've got a one way ticket That I can't accept Oh, just a stone's throw And I can't stand to see you go You hurt me bad, you cut me down But it just don't work without you Without, without, without Without you around Oh, stone's throw And I can't stand to see you go You hurt me bad, cut me down But it just don't work without you Gotta have you around Gotta have you around
