uriah heep - july morning

July Morning Lyrics
There I was on a July morning looking for love.
With the strength of a new day dawning and the beautiful sun.
At the sound of the first bird singing I was leaving for home.
With the storm and the night behind me and a road of my own.
With the day
came the resolution
I'll be looking for you.

I was looking for love in the strangest places.
There wasn't a stone that I left unturned.
I must have tried more than a thousand faces,
but not one was aware of the fire that burned
In my heart,
in my mind,
in my soul.
In my heart,
in my mind,
in my soul.

There I was on a July morning - I was looking for love.
With the strength of a new day dawning and the beautiful sun.
At the sound of the first bird singing I was leaving for home.
With the storm and the night behind me and a road of my own.
With the day
came the resolution
I'll be looking for you.

uriah heep - fallen angel

Fallen angel ...

Everyone I see reminds me of you
I keep turnin? round
Expectin? you to be there
I keep seein? our past
Through my looking glass
But fallen angel
Where are you now

After all these years
I remember the tears
When we parted you said
Don?t forget me
You were ridin? so high
Now they?re passin? you by
Girl I?ve never forgot you
Please come and get me

Livin? without you is
Hard enough anyway
But knowin? you?re hurtin?
Makes it so much worse every day

I just wanna love you
Any way that I can
And watching you cry wasn?t
Part of my plan

Tell me how did it feel
In your promised land
That you chose as
Your pain and your pleasure
A temporary sanctuary
Oh fallen angel
I?m your real treasure

uriah heep - stealin

Take me across the water
?Cause I need some place to hide
I done the rancher?s daughter
And I sure did hurt his pride

Well, there's a
Hundred miles of desert
Lies between his hide and mine
I don't need no food
And no water, Lord
?Cos 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
I made my break and a big mistake
Stealin', when I
Should've been buyin'

All that fightin', killin'
Wine and those women
Gonna put me to an early grave
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin'
Nothing left to save but my life, life...

So I stood on a ridge
And shunned religion
Thinking the world was mine
I made my break and a big mistake
Stealin', when I should've been buyin'
I was stealin?
When I should?ve been buyin?
I was stealin?
When I should?ve been buyin?
Stealin?, when I should?ve been buyin?
I was stealin? ...

uriah heep - the wizard

He was the wizard
Of a thousand kings
And I chanced to meet him
One night wandering
He told me tales
And he drank my wine
Me and my magic man
Kinda feeling fine

He had a cloak of gold
And eyes of fire
And as he spoke
I felt a deep desire
To free the world
Of its fear and pain
And help the people
To feel free again

Why don't we listen to
The voices in our hearts
?Cause then I know we'd find
We're not so far apart
Everybody's got to be happy
Everyone should sing
For we know the joy of life
The peace that love can bring

So spoke the wizard
In his mountain home
The vision of his wisdom
Means we'll never be alone
And I will dream of my magic night
And a million silver stars
That guide me with their light

uriah heep - wonderworld

We freely speak of dreamsWe marvel at what they concealBut in my wonderworldEach sleeping vision is so realSo I believe and hopeThat all the things I seeMay one day bringSuch truth and peaceAs we can feelFree from this waking worldDeep in sleep's mysteryMy will is free to wanderFree to wander carelesslyAt times it's not so farFrom what we call realityAnd at times I know I wonderIf it all could come trueOh, Mr. WonderworldDon't be afraid'Cause dreams were madeWere made to dim the lightThe torment day can bringAnd leave you freeTo laugh aloud and hearYour heart bells ringOh, oh, Mr. WonderworldWonderworld

uriah heep - a year or a day

Seen from the height
Of a thousand miles
The earth looks the same as it did
How is it we can fly faster than day
But we can't find the things we need

Young man said the old man
Let the youth in your heart be at rest
We may all be dead
In a year or a day
When the devil is put to the test ?

The day of creation
Was our finest hour
It's something we ought to defend
But it's been so abused
Since the first day of light
That no glory can come in the end

Young man cried the old man
There is victory in staying alive
And if you care so little
For the world we're in
Why and what do you
Want to survive

Can't we try
To let the past go by
With it's lessons firmly
Settled in our minds
To our children one by one
And before the darkness comes
Let us leave a world full of light
Of a different kind

In truth they should meet
And with love
Their hearts should beat
And with patience
Solve the problems of our time
It wouldn't be so hard to do
It's only up to me and you
Let us not bequeath
A life that is a crime

Young man cried the old man
Let the youth in your heart be at rest
We may all be dead
In a year or a day
When the devil is put to the test

Young man ...

uriah heep - the hanging tree

Passing through the arms of satan
Reaching for the hands of god
Robbing every mind for wisdom
Running so he won?t get caught
He?s outlawed by majority
Been branded all his life
Some say that he?s a sinner man
As he rides from day to night

He?s a bad man, so they say
Living for his love and living free
Riding swift and secretly
So he?ll miss the hanging tree
Wounded spirit on the wind
Riding to his dream and destiny

He?s laughing at the wanted posters
Calling for his friends to see
Laughing aloud as he rides away
Kicking up the dust with speed
Time hands him down a pathway
And freedom is a horse he rides
Glory is a dream he?s after
And fortune is his heart?s delight

Riding swift and secretly
So he?ll miss the hanging tree
Wounded spirit on the wind
Riding to his dream and destiny

uriah heep - a right to live

I must thank lord
In my hour of need
I?ve given way to a better man
But I ain?t been free
To push the hour here
In this soul of mine
I?ve burned my bridges
And I?m satisfied

The preacher?s due here
In an hour or so
To give me reasons for
The things I know
I might have been careless and i
I might have been blind
If I?m the guilty, I?m satisfied

Oh woman, why did you
Do me wrong?
Sending me down and
I just can¡®t get along
When daybreak comes and
I?ve reached the end of the line
I have a right to live
And I?m left to die

It all seems so hazy now
It seems so long ago
She hid the things she?d done
Or things I should know
What was I to do for
The hurting here inside
I kill for love but the ...

I have a right to live
When I?m left to die
Oh, woman
I have a right to live ...

uriah heep - lady in black

She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning
Her long hair flowing in the mid-winter wind
I know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking
And destruction lay around me, from a fight I could not win
Ahh Ahh AHHH, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh.... AHHH ahh ahh AHH ahh

She asked me name my fone then, I said the need within some men
To fight and and kill their brothers, without thought of love orGod
And I begged her give me horses to trample down my enemy
So eager was my passion to devour this waste of life
Ahh Ahh AHHH, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh.... AHHH Aahh ahh AHH ahh

But she wouldn't think of battle that, reduces men to animals
So easy to begin and yet impossible to end
For she the mother of all men, had counceled me so wisely that
I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay ÁhhAhh
AHHH, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh.... AHHH ahh ahh AHH ahh Oh
lady lend your hand I cried, oh let me rest here by your side
Have faith and trust in me she said, and filled my heart withlife
There's no strenght in numbers, have no such misconception
But when you need me be assured I won't be far away
Ahh Ahh AHHH, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh....AHHH ahh ahh AHH ahh

Thus having spoke she turned away, and 'though I found no wordsto say
I stood and watched until I saw her black cloak disappear
My labouris no easier but now I know i'm not alone
I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day
And if one day she comes to you, drink deeply from her words sowise
Take courage from her as your prize and say hello from me
--- Ahh Ahh AHHH, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh ... AHHH ahh ahh
AHH ahh--- Ahh Ahh AHHH, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh ... AHHH ahh ahh AHHahh
--- Ahh Ahh AHHH, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh ... AHHH ahh ahh AHH ahh
(1) Ahh Ahh AHHH, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh ... AHHH ahh ahh AHH ahh
(2) Ahh Ahh AHHH, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh ... AHHH ahh ahh AHH ahh
(3) Ahh Ahh AHHH, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh ... AHHH ahh ahh AHH ahh
--- Ahh Ahh AHHH, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh ... AHHH ahh ahh AHH ahh
--- Ahh Ahh AHHH, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh ... AHHH ahh ahh Ahh ahh
--- Ahh Ahh AHHH, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh ... AHHH ahh ahh AHH ahh

uriah heep - i want you babe

Oh, I want you babe
I want you all to myself
And now and then
I?m gonna hold you
Tell you that I?m gonna love you
Come with me and I will show you
In a while I?ll get to know you

Oh, you know I needed you woman
I needed you, I needed you
Every day and night, right
Now and then
I?m gonna hold you
Tell you that I?m gonna love you
Come with me and I will show you
In a while I?ll get to know you
Yeah, yeah, oh

Well, you know what
The secret is I guess
And you think you know
Who your lover?s wife is

So you better stop
That thing you?re doing
Baby, you're driving me, driving me
Driving me to my ruins
But i, I want you babe

When I was a young man
Always trying to say hello babe
But you?d never know
You live in want
Never knowing that I existed
Till my mind was twisted
I was always trying, sometimes crying
Oh, I needed you, needed you
Needed you ...

Stop that thing that you?re doing
Baby, you're driving me, driving me
Driving me to my ruins
Oh, I want you babe

I needed you, I needed you
Every single day
Of my entire life
And everytime I tried
Someone else would come along
There it went again

But now and then
I?m gonna hold you
Tell you that I?m gonna love you
Come with me and I will show you
In a while I?ll get to know you
You and me we?re gonna make it
Come with me, we mustn?t break it

uriah heep - all for one

You think I?m crazy for wanting you
But you just hide away
Behind your untold truths
And so I sit and
Listen to your lonely words
Another reason for you
To be yourself

I can?t be wrong for believing in you
?Cause this ice is melting
And the waves are breaking through
I see a fire, it?s burning
In your heart tonight

There?s only one way
For me to forget

All for one, one for all
Strong in heart, body and soul
We were all for one, one for all
All for one, one for all
Nothing could stop us, we had it all
We were all for one, one for all

I always knew
You had dreams of your own
But I can?t understand you
So many words, too much to say
And nothing to hold on to
And so another day must end
In this loneliness
Another season
Another time, I guess

All for one, we were all for one
All for one, strong in body and soul
All for one, and
Nothing?s gonna stop us
All for one, one for all ...

uriah heep - easy livin

This is a thing I have
Never known before
It?s called easy livin?
This is a place i?ve
Never seen before
And I?ve been forgiven

Easy livin? and I?ve been forgiven
Since you?ve taken
Your place in my heart

Somewhere along the lonely road
I had tried to find you
Day after day on that windy road
I had walked behind you

Easy livin? and I?ve been forgiven
Since you?ve taken
Your place in my heart

Waiting, watching
Wishing my whole life away
Dreaming, thinking
Ready for my happy day
And some easy livin?

uriah heep - i wanna be free

As I wake up everyday
With no new songs to play
Feeling like I ought to
Pack my bag and run
My imagination flies
To some other sunny skies
Where I felt so good
And everything was done

And my time was my own
And my heart felt so free

I don't mind a little rain
But it doesn't seem the same
When the clouds shut out
Your beauty from my eyes
There's a storm inside my head
And I know it doesn't lead
To a clearer day
When nobody will cry

I can't stand here alone
And I need to be free

So bring fire and bring steel
For you know the way I feel
Bring a silver horse
To carry me away
I'm no stranger, I'm a friend
And my pain will never end
Till the world will let us
Live our lives as one

And our time is our own
And our hearts can be free

I wanna be free ...

uriah heep - sweet freedom
