Альбом Magnum

The rain beats on my window
And the moon lights up the dark
It starts the shadows chasing
And the dogs out on the run begin to bark

The church bell's striking midnight
And the lights have all gone down
The sea's as dark as thunder
I feel like wanted a man on sacred ground

Now the wind cries out, it's taking you away
But there's nothing I can do

Passing ships into the night
We can't stay together
I won't win but I can fight
Looks like we're in for stormy weather
Forever and ever, forever and ever

Taillights on the highway
They disappear from view
Well, I look, but I don't see you coming my way
Now I've lost it all, it seems I'm losing you

Now the wind cries out, it's taking you away
But there's nothing I can do

There's a fog down on the beach
It rolls on forever
You get further out of reach
Looks like we're in for stormy weather

Passing ships into the night
We can't stay together
I won't win but I can fight
Looks like we're in for stormy weather
Stormy weather tonight

I've been looking for a lover
Going to help me out of trouble
I want someone to believe in
Hold me down without a struggle
I want more than clothes and make up
I need love and conversation
I want someone to be waiting
So much give and so much taking

I've got ideas on my mind
I'm going to make them come true
I want you

Is that (too much) too much to ask?
(too much) too much, too fast
Oh me, I don't want anyone, I want you

Want a dedicated woman
Don't want countless explanations
Too much talk and saying nothing
Don't want clever imitations
I need love and understanding
I get high on expectations
Will you tell me what you're thinking
About every situation?

I won't be home tonight
I got your news but I feel all right
I'm going to take this town
I'm going to turn it upside down
You won't tell me no more lies
Won't need no alibis

You're the one, you're the one who walked out on me
You're the one, you're the one who yelled victory
Things have changed now that you're gone
Don't you know you're the one?
You're the one, you're the one who'll be history

Don't want your love any more
Don't wanna hear you knocking on my door
So don't you come back tonight
Everything'll be locked up tight
What's a man supposed to do?
I won't be crying over you

They were just thieves and robbers
You were a stepping stone
Look how the innocent suffer
Raging like a storm in you soul
One thing they forgot to mention
Making peace was their last intention

There was a time you trusted
You were too proud to beg
Now you just feel disgusted
With everything you've done and said
There wasn't really time to cry
Or even kiss the children goodbye

You got swept by the flood
You got talked out of dreams
There was a price on your blood
Couldn't wash yourself clean
It wasn't really worth a whole lot
Looking back at what you got
Like words in the mud
Tears in a stream
No more dreams

All that you ever wanted
All that you'd seen and heard
Never got really started
Like a river never turned
They didn't give a reason why
Never even bothered to try

Killers without a conscience
Only the good lie dead
Great father who trades in nonsense
Picture this inside your head
The magic of the talking wires
Carry both the truth and the lies

You cried all night
It looks like rain upon your face
Come early light
It's time to get back in the race
Now there's no doubt
The world's a cold and lonely place
It sucks you in
Chews you up and spits you out

But I know where you've been
That door's easy to walk in

Like a broken wheel stops turning
You ain't going nowhere
Now you've got to heal that burning
Or you ain't got a prayer
Like a broken wheel

You're not alone
Someone somewhere feels just like you
But you don't know
Which way to turn or what to do
No need to ask
I'll pull you through these troubled times
So hold on fast
I'll drag you to the finish line

'Cause I know where you've been
That door's easy to walk in

Had enough, now your heart's breaking
Bad enough you hesitating
Keep your head, you got to stand your ground
A fool for love, you get mistaken
Can't forget the hurt you've taken
This old world has really got you down

I've been rejected
Left unprotected
And you might say that I'm a no count
But I'm still growing
And the river's still flowing
Now I know just what it's all about

Ain't well connected
Can't get accepted
That's just another bridge I have to cross
I'm a believer
And faith's the healer
But there's a price to pay, I know the cost

And if it takes a long time, there's no excuse

Just one more heartbreak
Another memory, turn me loose
Just one more heartbreak
You'll have to run to me

The looks of tension
Too cold to mention
Like some muddy boots on someone's polished floor
Ain't broken hearted
Well I've just started
I've got some boots you've never seen before

I can wait, I can dream, forget the bad news

And so we live
Hour by hour fades away
But I know this
I'll make the best of every day

If they could see you right now
And know where you came from, lonely one
Don't cry now, now you're really someone
That put lines on your face, that's out of place

You really got what you wanted
You really got where you wanted to be

You can't live this way forever
Like an island made of sand
'Cause your heart gets worn away
We all need to be together
Though we find it hard to say
Every woman, every man

You walk a crooked road
You can't look back and see how short your memory
There you go, only fooling yourself
Someone's going to get hurt, you won't be the first

You'll have to take it on your own
When you wake up to find that everything's gone

There's a rainbow on sunset boulevard
Made of tears from hollywood
People praying for their green card
Pay to play, work for food

Only in America, only in America
Only in America, only in America

Swear allegiance every morning
It's another sunny day
Well, it's murder on the freeway
Someone's life gets blown away
There's a pirate on the radio
There's a preacher on tv
Call the CIA Big Daddio
Tell the White House I'll be free

Tijuana 'cross the border
Eat the worm, see paradise
Education in Las Vegas
Cut the cards and roll the dice
People come to California
And they aim to do it right
Every waitress a performer
You'll be famous overnight

Lost in the shadows, rain clouds all day
There's a ghost in the mirror
Well, I'm gone but I'm not too far away
Poor little sisters, easy to find
You heard me come knocking
Saying jesus is a friend of mine

Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil

I must be sleepwalking
Can't believe that sweet talking
I must be sleepwalking
Can't believe that sweet talking

No magic red shoes under my bed
Well, there's no need to worry
The wicked witch of the east is dead
Jonathan seagull taught me to fly
While the father and husband
Is shot down by the catcher in the rye

Thoughts on cavalry and salvation
Wears her rosary, no hesitation
Above the sound of gunfire, a prayer for strangers
Couldn't get much higher, talks to angels

She's got something more than feeling
You've just got to ask her
She's got something to believe in
And there's nothing better

Friends and enemies, a time for reason
A time for charity, a cry for freedom
In the roar of battle, changing fortunes
Senses bound and shackled in the dark room

Scarlet roses growing on white skin
Voices carrying nightmares, no escaping them
She's there, close and taking care

Burns brighter than the stars at night
Just as faithful as the falling light
It's wilder than the roaring sea
That's what it means, that's what it means to me

And I don't know what I'd do if you took your love away
I'd be dying by the day if you took your love away

Stronger than the coldest wind
Like the night sky never seems to end
A remembered long lost memory
That's what it means, that's what it means to me

And I don't know what I'd do if you took your love away
I'd be dying by the day if you go away

There's a fire in your heart, gets into my soul
And I know how it feels to be losing control
There's a fire in your touch and it never grows cold
Though we stand at the edge, still we never lose hold

Next to heaven's holy prize
Warmer than the morning sunrise
Everywhere and everything you see
That's what it means, that's what it means to me

Far horizon where the eagles cry
Across the desert, over mountains high
I know that's how it has to be
That's what it means, that's what it means to me

I saw your face across the room, I was scared if I should speak
That I'd wake up and find I'd been asleep
You need to know but you don't ask, where's it leading to?
When I want to spend the night with you?

You're more than a friend
And I promise the night will never end

You know I can't get enough of your love, sweet love
Just a little bit, ain't enough of your love, sweet, sweet love

I hear your voice, you're everywhere, I've been losing sleep
And it happens every time we get to meet
And though we talk, still no one knows, we keep it on the shelf
'Cause I know you've got to live with someone else

You know I can't get enough of your love, sweet love
Just a little bit, ain't enough of your love, sweet love
You know I can't get enough of your love, sweet love
In between the smooth and the rough, lies your love, sweet love

Lost in time, I get caught out of place
That's the truth on the line
Don't think I can surrender with grace

We keep talking about it every day
Dream about it every night
Well, it's all been said, there can't be much left to say
Can't be much left to write

Love is a weapon, you'd better believe
Gets you down on your knees

You don't know nothing when you're caught in love
The ground below you or the heavens above
You don't know nothing when you're caught in love
It cuts right through you, gets into your blood
You don't know nothing
You don't know nothing

You win or you lose it 'cause there's no in between
It's either black or it's white
On a endless journey, somewhere you've never been
Once you take the first bite

It's a fool who thinks he's just too strong
Never did me wrong

We really don't know a thing about love
It's not just something we only dream of
