WALKS LIKE A LADY Walks like a lady, with her tender charms. She moves like a lady When I'm in her arms. She loves like a lady, lovin' all night long. She cries like a baby when she's done something wrong. I told you once, yes, I told you twice but you never listen to my advice I catch you walkin' with that boy again I'm gonna set you free. Oh, I'm gonna set you free. Loves like a lady, So soft and slow. She feels like a lady, Ooo, I can't let go. She smiles like a lady, Smilin' all night long, But cries lake a baby when she's done something wrong. (chorus) Walks like a lady Oh, but she cries like a little girl Walks like a lady Yes, but she criees like a little girl Walks like a lady, walks like a lady cries like a little girl |
ONE MORE (Steve Perry, Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain) Wicked prophets kill... speaking his name In the glory of an innocent age A king is born to a house filled with rage One man's fear is another man's truth, one fear The blind suffer at the hands of sin Lines are drawn where the boundaries begin Ten thousand broken, by the madness within Broken One more, cry in the night... one more One more, war left to fight ...one more One life, cut down by fire Once child's, angry desire... one more Hearts of stone, pride without shame Wicked prophets, kill while speaking his name As the heavens, fall from the sky Fallin' Brother to brother, blood on their hands Desolation in the kingdom of man Holy vengeance is the justice of hell Mercy, mercy One more, cry in the night... one more One more, war left to fight ...one more One life, cut down by fire Once child's, angry desire... one more Wings of fire... drums of thunder No more, no more One more, cry in the night... one more One more was, was left to fight... one more One life, cut down by fire One child's angry desire... one more One more, one |

PRECIOUS
TIME I was captured by the light of a wayward smile When she said to me, "Move slowly son and touch the sky, Very soon you'll see Oo, how precious time placed it's hand on me; Oo, how precious time, how it rescued me." See the line of sight in side your mind, but from where I don't know. And the tales that are left behind, Left for all to grow. Oo, precious time placed it's hand on me; Oo, precious time, how it recued me." Oo, how it rescued me, how it rescued me. Oh, there's a place in time not far from here, A place we all could see; So if you're lookin' for a better day, Touch the sky and see. Oh, precious time placed it's hand on me; Oh, precious time, how it rescued me. Be the soldiers for your lives my friends, Fight for all to see. It's the only way to catch the sun; It's the only way you'll see, Oh how precious time placed it's hand on me, Yeah precious time How it rescued me, baby, baby it rescued me. Oh, there's a place in time not far from here, A place we all could see; So if you're lookin' for a better day, Touch the sky and see. Oh, precious time placed it's hand on me; Oh, precious time, how it rescued me. |
FOREVER
IN BLUE (Steve Perry, Jonathan Cain, Neal Schon) When she walked into the room I felt her move me I saw her eyes They went right through me Just one look I was forever in blue In a spell of he embrace Just for a moment I was the one, caught in the moment I knew, yes, right then I knew Two hearts, reach for each other Once chance, she's like no other I'm lost, lost in the dream of you 'Cause it's true oh I'm forever, forever in blue In a fantasy of my anticipation I knew there was no consolation I knew, oh I knew And on the night she told me that She had another I was broken by the truth I discovered, I knew oh I knew Two hearts, reach for each other Once chance, she's like no other I'm lost, lost in the dream of you 'Cause it's true oh I'm forever, forever in blue... in blue Believe me girl, I tried not to call But here I am once again, yes once again Beside you, with my hands on the wall Two hearts, reach for each other Once chance, she's like no other I'm lost, lost in the dream of you Those two hearts, reach for each other Once chance, she's like no other I'm lost, lost in the dream of you 'Cause it's true oh I'm forever, forever in blue |

WHERE
WERE YOU Where were you When I wanted you to love me through the night? Where were you When I wanted you to love and hold me tight? Where were you, little darlin' When you said to pick you up after school? I know where, little lady, 'cause my mama didn't raise no fool. Yeah. Where were you? Where were you? Where were you? Where were you? I know where, baby, you been runnin' 'round loose on the side. I know where, little lady, you been runnin' 'round with something to hide. I don't mind, darlin', if you're feelin' fancy and free. I don't mind, little baby, cause your sister's lookin' real good to me. Hey, Where were you? Where were you? Where were you? Where were you?

CASTLES
BURNING (Steve Perry, Jonathan Cain, Neal Schon) Jimmy wanted her the moment that she stumbled his way With a cocktail in her hand, she knew how she'd win the game There were beautiful in all the right places She keeps her rendezvous with soup opera faces She started rumours that were driving him crazy He couldn't stop the things they'd say And they live for, passion, love and pain In a rage of jealousy and fame And they watch their dreams go up on flames Castles burning... in the dead of night Castles burning... in the dead of night Wo... burnin'... In the kindom of pretenders love is not what it seems Jimmy cried and then he punished her No one heard her scream On the outside, it's all crimson and colver On the inside, they know it's over And the band of lawyers that steal the show As they watch their world go up in smoke Castles burning... in the dead of night Casthles burning... in the dead of night Wo... burnin'... burnin'... burnin'... burnin'... (Spoken words) When we return a story of a 5 alarm fire Late last night in the prestigious Hollywood hills Where one of the most controversial marriages in the Entertainment industry went up in smoke, arson is suspected It is still under investigation... You know I love you, you know you're my girl, I'd never hurt you... no Castles burning... in the dead of night Castles burning... in the dead of night Burnin'... burnin' All is fair in love and war, but war is hell... In the heart of the night, in the middle of the big bad city |

I'M CRYIN' Oo, I'm cryin', tears are fallin' down. I'm cryin' the lonely tears of clowns. I'm tryin' to wear a smilin' face. It was just yesterday things then they felt okay. Now that has all gone away. Oo, I'm cryin' the only tears of clowns. I'm tryin' tryin' and rain's fallin' down. I'm cryin' and that's a lonely place. If I could hide the pain, if I could stop the rain, Then all my cryin' could be gone. Oo, rain, who will stop the rain, the rain? Oo, I'm cryin', the tears are fallin' down. I'm tryin', the rain still beats the ground. I'm cryin' those lonely tears of clowns. Lonely, lonely tears, lonely, lonely tears |
DON'T
BE DOWN ON ME BABY (Steve Perry, Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain) I don't know why, there's an open flame Burnin' in the game, it's me you blame I can't deny, it was a crime If you would let me try, maybe you'd change your mind Don't be down on me baby Down on me girl I get lost sometimes In my crazy world Those little things, you say I do Well they might be true Tell me what good does it do... When things go wrong, I'm the first you blame I try another way, still someone's gotta pay Don't be down on me baby Down on me girl I get lost sometimes In my crazy world Don't be down on me baby 'Cause I love you 'Cause I need you |

LINE OF FIRE It was a hot and steamy night, Then Frankie pulled his gun in sight. He said, "Now Suzi, don't you lie. Did Stevey, did he catch you with another guy?" Standing in the line of fire it's gonna shoot ya. Standing in the line of fire it's comin' to ya, It's goin' through ya. He told her that he had been true, And that he'd never made her blue, no. So don't go sayin' Stevey's a liar, Girl, I've got my finder on a hair-trigger wire. Standing in the line of fire it's gonna shoot ya. Standing in the line of fire it's comin' to ya, It's goin' through ya. Bye, bye, bye, Suzi. So long girl. Those gunshots echoed through the town. Oh Frankie threw his shotgun down. That roof had moonlight shinin' through. She said she'd never, never, never, make him blue, yea. Standing in the line of fire it's gonna shoot ya. Standing in the line of fire it's comin' to ya, Standing in the line of fire it's gonna shoot ya. It's goin' through ya. Bye, bye, bye, Suzi. So long. |
STILL
SHE CRIES (Steve Perry, Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain) Tears that she kept from me Somewhere there's broken dreams Where love once used to be All in a memory With time we are forgiven In time we will forget I hear her voice in the night Cries of joy We were good... good...good... I still recall how we'd touch, how we'd fall We were good... good... good... Tears that she kept from me Someone she used ot be Forever yours then suddenly One kiss she can't remember I wish I could forget I hear her voice in the night, cries of joy We were good... good... good... I still recall how we'd touch, how we'd fall We were good... good...good... Still she cries Somewhere... still she cries No one knows when lovers will walk away I hear her voice, in the night Cries of joy... We were good... good... good... All in a memory Where our love once used to be Good... good... |

I sing it girl from the heart. I'll sing it girl from the start. Good morning girl, how you been? Good morning girl is love within? |
COLORS
OF THE SPIRIT (Steve Perry, Jonathan Cain, Neal Schon, John Bettis) We are one, we are one Distant rhythm in a troubled sky Angry clouds divide the sun Feels like thunder and so do I Bloody silence has begun Flying like a wounded dove Tomorrow comes undone Surrender don't come easily We try to get over... over Falling together... together Many colors of the spirit Many lives below the sun We are colors of the spirit We are many... we are one Ask the question - what's goin' on Why raging children run Where's the father's legacy Where's the harvest of the son Close your eyes and tell me what you see I see the same thing... same thing Many colors of the spirit Many lives below the sun We are colors of the spirit We are many... we are one No, surrender don't come easily We try to get over... over Many colors of the spirit Many lives below the sun We are colors of the spirit We are many... we are one We are many... we are one |

AWHILE I'd do anything to hold you. I'd go anywhere to touch you. I'd do anything you want me to, If you'll just stay with me awhile. I'd sing any song your heart desires. I would sing out loud of love's sweet fires. Oo, I'd do all this and so much more. If you'll just stay with me awhile. Reach out your hand, Oh, to me. Oh, I'm fallin' One minute more, I'm fallin' I'm fallin' Oh, oh, fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin' Won't you just stay with me awhile? |

EASY
TO FALL (Steve Perry, Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain) In the morning, sunlight shining The face in the mirror knows the crime Voices cry from the darkness A broken promise one more time You say you believe in love And still you run You only believe in God when you come undone So here you are You brought everything on yourself So easy to fall When you're all alone by yourself He said he's tried everything he could A fool's illusion one more lie There'll be demons waitin' in the shadows of a concrete world Tears are runnin' tonight You say you believe in love And still you run You only believe in God when you come undone So here you are You brought everything on yourself So easy to fall, (easy to fall) When you're all alone by yourself Words unspoken The words unspoken The words unspoken The words unspoken |

TRIAL BY FIRE (Steve Perry, Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain) Treasures in the jars of clay Let the light shine out of darkness Fallen down but not destroyed It's just another trial by fire In my song I'll send a prayer Do you know me, do you hear me Where the will to face this shame It's just another trial by fire Hello Mr. Moon Can I have some time with you Trouble keep me runnin'... You can see it comin'... I know who shines down on you Hello Mr. Moon I've come back to talk to you All my life I'm runnin'... From the love that's comin'... Saving grace please pull me through In my doubt I can't believe Like a wave tossed where the wind blows Tears of faith temper my soul Just another trial by fire Just another trial by fire |
