Blue Eyed Raven Written by Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Listen on YouTube  I found her picture, it was a good one It was in a book I never finished reading There she was smiling like a mother's angel Looked a lot like how she smiled as we were meeting Chills ran up and down my spine Now I can't get her off my mind Gypsy woman cast your spell Now I can tell I'll never be free I took a road trip, out to the country Off a little highway across the farm roads On a cold day That's when I saw her, there with her family Looked to me like they were finishing their work day Our eyes met, she locked me in her gaze Time stopped, my mind was in a haze Gypsy woman cast your spell I knew damn well I'd never be free Despite the space and time She's dancing in my mind Among the world that I left behind That night I said goodbye Her name was Melina, this blue eyed raven She held the key to all this love I had been saving Though they were leaving She said "come join ...

There's No Turning Back  Written by  Dennis DeYoung and Jim Peterik Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Reel after reel of old video tapes Christmas Day mornings, kids on first dates So many moments of laughter and tears Too many faces no longer here In a world where everything moves so fast How could we know it was too good to last And year after year the scrapbooks are stored There for the viewing but mostly ignored And oh for the chance to rewind and replay And relive the summers of innocent days And to find all of the things we've lost And hold them close no mattеr the cost And once again we look for a sign Dancing with shadows that wе've left behind And though we try we hear the clock chime We shatter the hourglass but ain't it a crime There's no turning back time Some days it feel we've just begun But time and tide wait for no one Another trip around the sun As days rush by Someone had said so long ago Beware my child how fast it goes The day will come before yo...

  East of Midnight Written by  Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung A south-side brick bungalow In a lifetime long ago When I was just a lad of seventeen I was searchin' for connection To the big machine Feelin' lost like everyone Thinkin' I was the only one Like a tiny spoke in a wheel, just spinnin' round I was lookin' for direction When I heard that sound (And I came alive) And it was all I'd ever needed (And I was revived) When the rock began to roll (And I survived) And now when I feel defeated I hear The Best Of Times And the music lifts my soul Just east of midnight I can hеar the late night radio And like a sеarchlight It will point the way Just east of midnight I can hear the world in stereo And like a lifeline I will save the day So I got me a vehicle A second hand miracle Just a set of wheels with a dashboard radio I was cruisin' down the airwaves In the afterglow (So I turned it up) 'Cause it was all I'd ever needed (I turned it u...

To the Good Old Days Written by  Dennis DeYoung, Julian Lennon Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung It's so hard to say goodbye So I promise not to cry But any tears that might be shed Are only tears of joy And I thank my lucky stars That we've come so very far Rising up against the odds To where we are today And though there may be sadness Let's all raise a glass Cheers to us And all that's passed To the good old days When the world was new When we still believed Dreams could come true To the good old days And to all our friends May the memories last May they nevеr end S o we'll go our sevеral ways Wishing somehow we could stay Safe again, so safe again In all our innocence When we all would sing along As they played our favorite song Dreaming of tomorrows That seemed so limitless So as we come together Let's make this moment last Here's to us (Yeah, here's to us) And to the past To the good old days To the sweetest years To the ones we loved Through the laugh...

A.D. 2020 Written by Dennis DeYoung  Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung And so my friends I'll say goodbye For time has claimed Its prize But the music never dies Just listen and close your eyes And welcome to paradise

I Can't Use Them Anymore  Written by Todd Sucherman Lead Vocals by  Todd Sucherman Above the waving flames, snowflakes of ash Scatter in the wind like a lost idea Put the fire to bed, clear the dust inside your head Kick away the cage- you’re free Under city lights, I’m still running But somehow my shadow beats me there So, take these dreams and trade ‘em in for anything ‘Cause I can’t use them anymore I’ve been a prince or a fool for one too many kings The skies are finally clear, but I’ve got broken wings The pictures under glass, they’re just presents from the past I’m folding up these memories And you could fix it all if you’d just hold me But can you see me through your tears? So, take these dreams and trade ‘em in for anything ‘Cause I can’t use them anymore Oh, tear the flesh from my bones I just need to feel again Till the soil again, and plant the seeds, my friend And what we’ve left to reap could be beautiful

Still Singin' With The Band  Written by Ronnie Montrose,  Ricky Phillips,  Eric Singer Lead Vocals by  Glenn Hughes Back when we all hitched a free ride We only came out at night And love of the game kept us from going insane We'd stay with our brothers and face the fight Burning to ask me for money Walking on fire and late wild nights We were rocking the nation To the finest sensation Any true young blooded rocker will testify Still living on the run still singing with the band still having my fun And mama still don't understand The king from the time a happy day As the people keep shouting For more, more, more ‘Cause when you pick up your stride And what's left inside of a fire Is the audience roar Still living on the run Still singing with the band Still having my fun, fun, fun Yeah, mama Still living on the road Still doing one night stands Still having my fun, fun, fun And I know that momma just don't understand Change is a part of this journey Stretch your col...

Umpteen Miles Written by Tommy Shaw, Brad Davis Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw My daddy died upon this mountain Spent his life working with his hands Made his pay fair by hauling flat rock From up here on the back side of his land When I was ten he took me to the quarry Taught me things I never will forget He showed no fear when he walked along the high side Far above that rocky river bed It's umpteen miles boy can you climb it? It's umpteen miles to the ferry car When you're umpteen miles high you can't back down it It's umpteen miles down the bottom rock Times may have changed but not this mountain All these years it stood there all alone I passed the torch and now it's up to you son To make your mark upon this stone mass stone It's umpteen miles boy can you climb it? It's umpteen miles to the ferry car When you're umpteen miles high you can't back down it It's umpteen miles down the bottom rock It's umpteen miles boy can you climb it? It...

Brave New World Written by Tommy Shaw, James Young Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw The lines are drawn in the sand across the caress of time The lines are drawn in the sand across the caress of time There's a face in the glass Looking through the mirror At the maze of my past It was never clearer On the distant horizon The sun approaches Better cover my eyes Better hide the roaches In the best of my time There was something better And the quest of my mind Was to try and get her Something simple and pure As the thoughts in my head Not the tears in the rain Over me she shed We were almost there Still I was unaware Here in the Brave New World's embrace I watch the parade begin Searching for one familiar face And I wonder where I fit in How will I know if there's a place For me in the Brave New World To be calm in the eye Of the human storm In a house full of dreams I am safe and warm Looking back at a life Filled with warm embraces No regrets only memories Of smiling faces We were a...

Down That Highway Written by Tommy Shaw & Jack Blades Lead Vocals by Jack Blades Little baby crying for attention let me tell you I could use some too A little late for an ounce of prevention Better think of something else to do What happened to the days of summer They came and they went too fast Should have known it wouldn't last forever Now it's all just part of the past Memories, down that highway Whoa yesterday Sittin' in with the boys and a six-string Singin' every Beatles song we knew Gettin' lucky with a girl at the drive-in Keep me happy for a month or two School year dragged by so slowly Seemed like it wouldn't ever end Summer flew by out of control and Left me here again with the memories Down that highway Whoa yesterday Now Jimmy got lost somewhere in L.A.

The Night Goes On Written by Tommy Shaw & Jack Blades Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Did you ever hear the whisper of the night as it rolls in Distant as the moon and yet it gets beneath your skin Gets around the promises of no never again Suddenly it takes the shape of an old familiar friend And ooh the night goes on You reach for your last cigarette, and yeah you ought to quit You ought to do a lot of things, but sometimes you forget And still the fog is lifting, so you take a drive around And over that horizon is an old familiar town And oh the night goes on Ooh the night goes on Ooh ooh the night goes on When old voices dance through your head Where you could run from the things that they said And how could you say "let 'em go, walk away" Oh no, not today You never run away when you can stay and fight today Ooh Ooh Ooh And ooh the night goes on Ooh the night goes on Ooh the night goes on

Time Stood Still Written by  John Waite, Ricky Phillips, Jesse Harms Lead Vocals by John Waite The first time that I saw you You were dancin' on the beach Poetry in motion But you seemed so out of reach And the waves were breakin' 'round you In the California sunset I made a wish to know you And touch your golden hair You turned around and looked at me And paradise was there Baby I remember the way you took my hand Yesterday Time stood still As we walked into the night together The memory is locked in our hearts forever It seems just like yesterday Time stood still We found a little seaside bar High above the rocks You were drinking white wine And I was doing shots I wondered if you'd stay the night You just took my hand and led the way Time stood still As we made love through the night together The memory is locked in our hearts forever Time stood still Time stood still The memory is locked in our hearts forever Oh yeah I thought that I'd seen love before But what ...

Exit Number Nine Written by Glen Burtnik Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnik The place I'm from is on the Raritan River South of Manhattan maybe 40 miles. The girls look good and they can really deliver. The boys know how to dress and they all got style. That trip to California really made up my mind. I turned around and headed home to exit number nine. The working girls come out to turn the college boys on. The way they dance, I swear they're working overtime. One man's medicine's another's poison. When Sissy's at the bar, I call it party time. French Street's buzzzin', the freaks keep comin' The kids are really something down on exit number nine. Handy Andy made his high school honors, Now he makes his living from his work on cars. Auto detail for a hundred dollars, And every night he blows it at the local bars. He came to town for knowledge but he dropped out of college, Now he's buffing polish down on exit number nine. Down at Lee's and Tony'...

Riding the Avenue Written by Lenny Kaye Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnik I remember it like I was almost there. It happened at the Middlesex County Fair. She had big brown eyes that were rimmed in black. I though I recognized them from the school bus back. And all I ever wanna do Is riding on the avenue. We got a lot of living still to do Riding the avenue. Taking a turn on Lynnwood Place A Continental rolled in and out of a space, Past Linda's house, tonight's the night To see who's waiting at the Constable light. And all I ever wanna do Is riding on the avenue. We got a lot of living still to do Riding the avenue. Aginglue (?)  is starring at the Rivalee  (?) Having a dog down on Albany From the Dairy Queen to the New Brunswick lunch With Acache's  (?)  Pool Hall and a gooselflative  (?)  bunch Parking in the driveway of a bowling alley light. At the St. Peters' prom we were doing the sights, Heading down the seaside on the morning flight, With the ...

Don't Walk Away Written by Andy Hill, Peter Sinfield Lead Vocals by John Waite Wise men Thinking of numbers Shaken not stirred But I hang Hang on your every word These days I roll with the punches Always your clown Do you remember when We used to paint this town Red gold green and blue If you still believe in me, and you don't walk away I know I'll find an answer if you stay Don't walk away There's nothing in tomorrow That wasn't there in yesterday Oh no no no no no All the heartache Too many nights In the heartbreak hotel Don't you give up Love is a carousel Put on your dancing shoes And we can paint this town Red gold green and blue If you still believe in me And you don't walk away I know I'll find an answer If you stay Don't walk away There's nothing in tomorrow That wasn't there in yesterday I'm sad that's all This can't be the end It's not my fault The rain on the roof Reach out Reach out I'm drownin' not wav...

Beneath The Moon Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Over that mountain, straight down this highway 24 hours from you Counting the headlights, billboards and raindrops Somehow I'll get through Crossing the border, no danger can stop me Oh Lord how I've been missing you Tonight beneath the moon One million dreams reach out to a star Tonight I'll say a prayer And tell the world how lucky we are Tonight, to be in love I still remember that Sunday in Roseland You came alone to the dance I acted crazy to try and impress you What did I know of romance Two children searching for love and assurance Each of us afraid in our own way Tonight beneath the moon One million dreams reach out to a star Tonight I'll say a prayer And tell the world how lucky we are Tonight, to be in love One mile to go Oh the anticipation Gonna hold you tight Makin' love all night Cause I know how you feel Ya hate separation But I'm down on my knees Please, baby, please Tonight...
