robert tepper - don t walk away
Oh, yeah, oh
She held me close, spoke my name
I felt the sun melt the rain
As I lay there with her picture
On my shoulder
There in the shadows
There in her room
Under the light of the neon moon
I could feel her memory
Growing colder
She said, once
Once we had a purpose
Once, once we had a song
Once the feeling disappears
It's all gone
Don't walk, don't walk
Don't walk away
The last words she heard me say
Don't walk, don't walk away
Yeah, from love, from love
I saw the tears
Move down her face
I saw the love
Good love gone to waste
And it cut me so deep and I knew
I couldn't keep her forever
Turning the pages
Breaking ties
That far away look
Deep in your eyes
It was over and done
You were on the run
Come the morning
She said, once
Once we had a purpose
Once, once we had a song
Once the feeling disappears
It's all gone
Don't walk, don't walk
Don't walk away
The last words she heard me say
Don't walk, don't walk away
Mmm, from love, oh, from love
She said, once
Once we had a purpose
Once, once we had a song
Once the feeling disappears
It's all gone, gone, gone
Don't walk, don't walk
Don't walk away
The last words she heard me say
Don't walk, don't walk away
Yeah, from love, oh, from love
Don't walk away from love
Don't walk away from love, yeah
I saw the tears
Running down her face
I saw the love
Good love gone to waste
Don't walk, don't walk away
Don't walk, don't walk away
Please, yeah
robert tepper - angel of the city
Another hard day in the city
Sweat pouring down oh it ain't to pretty
Working your fingers to the bone
Trying to get blood from a stone
Whip it cracks just like thunder
Some survive her, most go under
Dancing this ball and chain around
It ain't no dirt to be found
(Angel of the city)
Now you're watching over me
(Angel of the city)
Tell me where can you be.
In time I'll find you, angel of the city
The streets they scream, with desire
The air is thick with dreams on fire
And this ain't any kind of life
Living on the edge of a knife
(Angel of the city)
Are you watching over me?
(Angel of the city)
Tell me where can you be.
In time I'll find you, angel of the city
(Angel of the city)
Come on show your face
(Angel of the city)
Free me from this place
In time I'll find, you
Heaven send her to my door
I can't hide away here anymore
(Angel of the city)
Are you watching over me?
(Angel of the city)
Tell me where can you be
In time you know I'll find you
In time you know I'll find you
In time I'll find you, angel of the city
(Angel of the city)
(Angel of the city)
robert tepper - no easy way out
We're not indestructible,
Baby better get that straight.
I think it's unbelieveable,
How you give into the hands of fate.
Some things are worth fighting for,
some feelings never die.
I'm not asking for another chance,
I just wanna know why.
(chorus)
There's no easy way out,
There's no shortcut home.
There's no easy way out,
Giving in can't be wrong.
I don't wanna pasify you,
I don't wanna drag you down.
But I'm Feeling like a prisoner,
Like A Strange in a no-name town.
I See all the angry faces,
Afraid that could be you and me.
Talking about what might have been,
Thinking about what it used to be.
(chorus)
There's no easy way out,
There's no shortcut home.
There's no easy way out,
Giving in can't be wrong.
Baby Baby we can shed this skin,
We can know how we feel inside.
Instead of going down an endless road,
Not knowing if we're dead or alive.
Some things are worth fighting for,
some feelings never die.
I'm not asking for another chance,
I just wanna know why.
(chorus)
There's no easy way out,
There's no shortcut home.
There's no easy way out,
givin in, givin in, can't be wrong.
(repeat and fade)
robert tepper - restless world
There's a strangeness in the air
I grace the night with a devastating stare
The streets cry
I'm moved by the sounds
Of this restless world
Drums pound out a beat
As bodies fade into a never-ending heat
The only question how long can you maintain
In this restless world
Some they go in circles
Some they go insane
Some masters of the universe
Some dance inside the rain
Love is always hidden
Like a precious pearl
In this restless world
Shadows hit the floor
Like ancient fires
Burning down my door
A restless spirit
Looking for a chance
In this restless world
Things I should have done
Move around me like angels on the run
It's not desertion
I just want to live
In this restless world
Some dying to remember
Some living to forget
Some gunslingin' fool
Looking for a sure bet
Love is always hidden
Like a precious pearl
In this restless world
robert tepper - soul survivor
I need my freedom
And that's a fact
She said : "Give it up now,
Or don't bother coming back
Do ya, do ya, do ya understand?"
She was the only woman
Who hurt me, made me feel bad
Makin' her happy was all that I had
And all I ever, I ever
I ever really wanted
My soul survivor
Without you, what do I have left
My soul survivor
Cannot make it by myself
She would tell me I'm a fool
That I don't give a damn
And though half of that was true
She just didn't understand
What I, what I, what I really needed
Well she left me with some heavy loads
Stood me on some crossroads
May be I'm a better man
I gotta know who I am
Do ya, do ya, do ya understand?
My soul survivor
Without you, what do I have left
My soul survivor
Cannot make it by myself
My soul survivor
Do you hear my cry
My soul survivor
I will love you till the day I die
(Instrumental)
(Chorus)
robert tepper - your love hurts
I can't nail you down
'Cause I don't know what you're gonna do
You always hesitate
You have your mind made up for you
Is this some mission of mercy
Some overdrive dream
Keep your emotions
Hidden and clean
Your love hurts
Your love hurts
Better go and find another
Your love hurts
Your love hurts
Give me time to recover
I can't bend for you
'Cause I don't know how far to go
You make me crazy, crazy
Too much about you that I just don't know
Stripping me down to a restless heart
Bringing the night, tearing me apart
Your love hurts
Your love hurts
Better go and find another
Your love hurts
Your love hurts
Give me time to recover
I know you've been
Down this road before
Got one eye on the future
And one eye on the door
Stripping me down to a restless heart
Bringing the night, tearing me apart
Your love hurts
Your love hurts
Better go and find another
Your love hurts
Your love hurts
