Blowin' Free

Wishbone Ash( 威斯朋艾許 ) Blowin' Free歌詞
1.Ballad Of The Beacon

We'll be leaving this town in the morning
Tommorrow we'll be able to see
I've had me enough of this city
And she's had enough out of me

I'm turning my sights on the country
Sold everything that i own
I'm heading away from the bright lights
Looking for where the wind blows

Say if i climbed to the mountains
Would you still follow me there
Steal me away in an echo
The mountains will always be there


2.Blind Eye

You turned a blind eye to everything i ever said,
You turned a blind eye to everything i ever did.
You didn't worry, why call your telephone?
You didn't worry, baby,
You're just content to roam around.
Yes, you are.


3.Blowin' Free

I thought i had a girl
And all because i seen her.
I thought i had a girl
And all because i seen her.
Her hair was golden brown (yes it was)
Blowin' free like a cornfield.

She was far away
I found it hard to reach her.
She told me you can try
But it's impossible to find her.

In my dreams everything was all right -
In your schemes you can only try.


4.Jail Bait

I'm wondering why your face no longer shines,
I'm wondering why your face no longer shines.
I'm wondering why
You're always on my mind.
I'm stll wondering
Give me a little more time.

I need to know why i can't see your tears,
I need to know why i can't see your tears.
I need to know how many lonesome years
I want to make you cast away your fears.


5.Lady Whiskey

Lady whiskey, such a sad sight, stumblin' as she walks.
She even hates herself sometimes.
Keep her clear, for it's saturday night.

Drowns her sorrow, eases her pain,
Waits for tomorrow, when she'll do the same again.

Lady whiskey's got a man, her man is just like her -
Tries to fit the key in the door
When he comes home saturday night.

Drowns his sorrow, eases his pain,
Waits for tomorrow, when he'll do the same again.

Lady whiskey's got a son, got a daughter, too.
Son don't play, but the daughter's on the way
When she comes home saturday night.

Lady whiskey, she gets sick when she goes downtown.
One day drink's gonna put her down -
She won't come home saturday night.


6.Outward Bound


7.Persephone

There's a light that shines on persephone,
Always a fire in her eyes,
And the last time that i went to her
I could tell things weren't right.

I just don't care to see your years go wasting,
There's no longer magic in your eyes.

In your time, you could outshine everybody else around,
But your off-stage ways might be a bore -
You take a bow, you take a fall.

I came to be here in the footlights,
To live with you through every song,
And your face displays a peaceful field.
I can't believe the curtain has to fall.

Now i know your years were never wasted,
Tonight i saw the magic in your eyes.

9.The King Will Come

In the fire, the king will come.
Thunder rolls, piper and drum.
Evil sons, overrun,
Count their sins - judgment comes.

The checkerboard of nights and days -
Man will die, man be saved.
The sky will fall, the earth will pray,
When judgment comes to claim its day.

See the word of the prophet
On a stone in his hand.
Poison pen revelation,
Or just a sign in the sand?

The checkerboard of nights and days -
Man will die, man be saved.
The sky will fall, the earth will pray,
When judgment comes to claim its day.

See the word of the prophet
On a stone in his hand.
Poison pen revelation,
Or just a sign in the sand?


10.The Pilgrim


11.Throw Down The Sword

Throw down the sword,
The fight is done and over,
Neither lost, neither won.
To cast away the fury of the battle
And turn my weary eyes for home.

There were times when i stood at death's own door
Only hoping for an answer.

Throw down the sword,
And leave the glory -
A story time can never change.
To walk the road, the load i have to carry -
A journey's end, a wounded soul.

There were times when i stood at death's own door
Only searching for an answer.


12.Time Was

I've got to rearrange my life,
I've got to rearrange my world.
I miss you, i need you.

I've got to keep my memories aside,
I've got to try to live again.

Time was when there were things around
To be afraid of.
I've got cause, i've even changed my mind
To turn the tables.

Time was when there was no need to stop
And rearrange it.
Now i've got a memory
And i don't want to change it.

And there's a time for waking up
And feeling down,
It's when you have to pick your feet
Up from the ground.

Time was when i had you around -
I was a strong man.
I need you to help make the change
And be a new man.

Takes more than a day and a night
For giving.
It's not so easy just to change your way
Of living.

Time was when there were things around
To bother me.
The crime was, i couldn't start
To change my history.
