8. studio album RETURN TO FANTASY (Ken Hensley/David Byron) Searching every day Looking every way Trying to make a connection To find a piece of the action Like the hungry poet Who doesn't know He is close to perfection Choice is the question Moonlight night after moonlight night Side by side they will see us ride But if they cared to look Then they would see It's our return to fantasy, fantasy, fantasy Can you understand That in every man There's a need to unwind That's never been defined Somewhere deep within There's another being You are somehow abusing By the person you're using Moonlight night after moonlight night Side by side they will see us ride But if they cared to look Then they would see It's our return to fantasy, fantasy, fantasy Travelling faster than lightning Closer than ever before We can go on for you And take you nearer to The legend of mystery from the beginning of time Dreaming... TlME... Dreaming We can return to the land of the good and the kind TIME... Dreaming... TIME... Dreaming Why don't you come to our party and open your minds In another place There's a newer face Like an unfinished painting Your creator is waiting The brush and pen describe What it is inside That will set your mind thinking While the others are sinking Moonlight night after moonlight night Side by side They will see us ride But if they cared to look Then they would see It's just our return to fantasy, fantasy, fantasy SHADY LADY (Ken Hensley/Mick Box/David Byron/Lee Kerslake) Out from St. Louis I wasn't choosy I just wanted to get back on the road I hitched in cars and worked in bars Lookin' for a place to lay down my load I met a lady, a shady lady And someone told her I was all on my own She poured a beer and said when I'm finished here Hang around cause I'm taking you home Dont worry, I'll treat you alright Don't worry, you can stay all night I thought it was easy ride But I didn't know where i was, until I got inside She said okay sonny, give me your money And don't start any foolin' around I said what, I said what Dont you think you're turning me upside down She said I don't care I've been everywhere And I've not been lookin' for you But I'll take you in and give you a spin You'll know some tricks by the time we get through Shady lady, you want it all your own way Shndy lady, you won't let go of your prey Shady lady, eat me up and spit me out But let's get started now I know what you're talkin' about Now in the morning, as day was dawning Shady asked me if I'd stay there awhile I said stay, baby no way But I couldn't keep myself from a smile I said now no bye-bye's, go in and dry your eyes That ain't fittin' for a lady like you Why not be smart, and give your life another start But take care now whatever you do Shady lady, I'm on my way Shady lady, we'll meet again one day And don't worry cause when we do I'm gonna make sure that there ain't very much left of you DEVIL'S DAUGHTER (David Byron/Mick Box/Ken Hensley/Lee Kerslake) I don't believe in

see The Devil's from Chicago, now where the hell do they go When we get in our limousnes We just want to be, where it's all going on Bur tell me what do you do when it's over and everyone who loved you is gone You're our kind of people you're the church and we're the steeple But we're all inside the hall If we've got what you need then we'll give you the speed To get up and have a ball We just

YOUR TURN TO REMEMBER (Ken Hensley) I was always the one who did the thinkin' It was me, I'm sorry I, who made the plans There was never thought we might do somethin' between us It's so clear I think I'm beginning to understand I would the one who had to lay it out and pay it out I would work all night even though I wanted to play out and stay out Now it's your turn to remember It's your turn to try to understand When the time came for staying together You refused to even talk about for ever It was easy telling me you love me I was a little late in finding out the truth The rule of love as there you had to bend it Now the damage is done it's impossible to mend it Now it's your turn to remember It's your turn to feel a little pain I feel a little better Talking about her yet her Memory's not for me The skies are not so gray I've found a new tune to play now It's a beter song It'll be foIlowin' on SHOWDOWN (Ken Hensley/David Byron/Mick Box/Lee Kerslake) It's gonna happen before too long It's getting hard to tell who's right and who's wrong I can see it coming so I gotta be strong There's gonna be a showdown There's gonna be changes in this town We're gonna see a showdown A time's gonna in the future when A whole lotta people gonna think again We're gonna keep right on till you break and then There's gonna be a showdnwn There's gonna be changes in this town We're gonna see a showdown Do you want to be out of touch, only you can decide For somethlng different you're out of luck Cause on we will ride, on we will ride The music explodes like a gun in your hand We're gonna give you more than your head can stand Then we'll sit down and talk man to man There's gonna be a showdown There's gonna be changes in this town We're gonna see a showdown WHY DID YOU GO (David Byron/Mick Box/Ken Hensley/Lee Kerslake) I woke up today with my head in a daze Cause my love had gone With nothing to do, just to dream about you And how we went wrong But oh oh oh Why did you go I loved you so Didn't you know I waik into town with my head hanging down Tryin' to hide my pain The people I meet, as I float down the street Tell me try again But oh ah oh Why did you go I loved you so Didn't you know When I remember how good it was It makes me cry Cause my life's been turned upside down All I want is someone, but how do you say Please will you stay Please will you stay I'll settle down to the life of a clown To remain alive I'll work till I bleed, and if I can succeed Maybe I'll survive But oh oh oh Why did you go I loved you so Didn't you know A YEAR OR A DAY (Ken Hensley) Seen from a height of a thousand miles The earth looks the same as it did How is it we can fly faster man 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 that 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, let the past go by with it's lessons firmly settled in o 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 Bonus tracks: SHOUT IT OUT (Ken Hensley) She took me for a ride in her car From the moment it started I knew We wouldn't get far That didn't matter it seemed Though I knew it went schemed And it was just like a dream Oh, the joy of love was grand That's when I heard the little birds sing The day I first met my love Oh, the day I first met my love Then we went walking in the park Away with the day Till the day became dawn Man hand in hand with the son Laughed at the rain When it came along Oh, the joy of love was brand As well the birds As well the stars would sing The day I first met my love Oh, the day I first met my love Am I really standing here with you Are you telling me you love me too Will it grow Can we let the world know Put it about, shout it out The day I first met my love THE TIME WILL COME (David Byron/Mick Box/Ken Hensley/Lee Kerslake) Riding on together Forever till the end Some people try to come between us But we know they're not our friends So come on join our party Let the hours slip on by No more cares or worries No more asking yourself why Can you hear us, can you hear us We're never far away Can you hear us, can you hear us This is all we have to say All our love is true Even just for you Don't push us away Like we're of yesterday We never ask for more And we give in return The time will come When everyone will listen The time will come When everyone will care Just look ahead What we said will glitter Like a jewel sailing softly Through the air With everything to live for Sometimes you're seeing just ahead Wear your vision and find that You're together in five different ways BEAUTIFUL DREAM (Ken Hensley/David Byron/Mick Box/Lee Kerslake) Sail down the stream, such a beautiful dream Never stopping never touching anything Till dawn awakes you with a breath of the Spring Far from the crowds, way above the clouds We can take you to the edge of the day And show you living in a new kind of way We'll take you floating to A
