Turn To Stone


	The city streets are empty now THE LIGHTS DON'T SHINE NO MORE
	and so the songs are way down low TURNING TURNING TURNING
	A sound that flows into my mind THE ECHOES OF THE DAYLIGHT
	of everything that is alive IN MY BLUE WORLD

		I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone.
		Turn to stone when you comin' home, I can't go on.

	The dying embers of the night A FIRE THAT SLOWLY FADES TILL DAWN
	still glow upon the wall so bright BURNING BURNING BURNING
	The tired streets that hide away FROM HERE TO EVERYWHERE THEY GO
	roll past my door into the day IN MY BLUE WORLD

		I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone.
		Turn to stone when you comin' home, I can't go on.
		Turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone.

	Yes, I'm turnin' to stone 'cos you ain't comin' home.
	Why you ain't comin' home if I'm turnin' to stone?
	You've been gone for so long and I can't carry on,
	yes, I'm turnin', I'm turnin', I'm turnin' to stone.

	The dancing shadows on the wall THE TWO-STEP IN THE HALL
	are all I see since you've been gone TURNING TURNING TURNING
	Through all I sit here and I wait I TURN TO STONE I TURN TO STONE
	You will return again some day TO MY BLUE WORLD

		I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone.
		Turn to stone when you comin' home, I can't go on.
		Turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone.

		I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone.
		Turn to stone when you comin' home, I can't go on.
		Turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone.

Evil Woman


	You made a fool of me, but them broken dreams have got to end.

	Hey woman, you got the blues,
	cos' you ain't got no one else to use.
	There's an open road that leads nowhere,
	so just make some miles between here and there.
	There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in,
	You took my body and played to win,
	Ha Ha woman it's a crying shame,
	But you ain't got no one else to blame.

		CHORUS
		E-evil Woman, E-evil Woman, E-evil Woman, Evil Woman

	Rolled in from another town,
	Hit some gold too hot to settle down,
	But a fool and his money soon go separate ways,
	And you found a fool lyin' in a daze,
	Ha Ha woman what you gonna do,
	You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you,
	It's so good that you're feeling pain,
	But you better get yourself on board the very next train.

		CHORUS:REPEAT

	Evil woman how you done me wrong,
	But now you're tryin' to wail a different song,
	Ha Ha funny how you broke me up,
	you made the wine now you drink the cup,
	I came runnin' every time you cried,
	Thought I saw love smilin' in your eyes,
	Ha Ha very nice to know,
	that you ain't got no place left to go.

		CHORUS:REPEAT

Showdown


	She cried to the southern wind
	About a love that was sure to end
	Every dream in her heart was gone
	Headin' for a Showdown

	Bad dreamer, what's your name
	Looks like we're ridin' on the same train
	Looks as through there'll be more pain
	There's gonna be a Showdown

	And it's rainin' all over the world
	It's raining all over the world
	Tonight, the longest night

	She came to me like a friend
	She blew in on a southern wind
	Now my heart is turned to stone again
	There's gonna be a Showdown

	Save me, oh save me
	It's unreal, the suffering
	There's gonna be a Showdown

	And it's rainin' all over the world
	It's raining all over the world
	Tonight, the longest night

Livin' Thing


	Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
	It's like magic
	Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' & slidin'
	It's magic

		CHORUS
		And you, and your sweet desire,
		You took me, higher and higher
		It's a livin' thing,
		It's a terrible thing to lose
		It's a given thing
		What a terrible thing to lose.
	
	Making believe this is what you've conceived
	From your worst day,
	Moving in line when you look back in time
	To your first day
	
		CHORUS -- repeat

	Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide
	Floating downstream,
	So let her go don't start spoiling the show
	It's a bad dream

		CHORUS -- repeat

Hold On Tight


     	Hold on tight to your dream 
     	Hold on tight to your dream 
     	When you see your ship go sailing 
     	When you feel your heart is breaking 
     	Hold tight to your dream.

     	It's a long time to be gone 
     	Time just rolls on and on 
     	When you need a shoulder to cry on 
     	When you get so sick of trying 
     	Just hold tight to your dream

     		CHORUS: 
     		When you get so down that you can't get up 
     		And you want so much but you're all out of luck 
     		When you're so downhearted and misunderstood 
     		Just over & over & over you could

     	Accroches-toi a ton reve 
     	Accroches-toi a ton reve 
     	Quand tu vois ton bateau partir 
     	Quand tu sents -- ton coeur se briser 
     	Accroches-toi a ton reve.

     		REPEAT CHORUS:

     	Hold on tight to your dream 
     	Hold on tight to your dream 
     	When you see the shadows falling 
     	When you hear that cold wind calling 
     	Hold on tight to your dream.

     	Oh, yeah 
     	Hold on tight to your dream 
     	Yeah, hold on tight... 
     	To your dream.

Thousand Eyes


		Chorus
		The night has a thousand eyes
		and they're all on you
		The night has a thousand ears
		Listening to your cries
		Let it work its magic
		Let it work its magic
		The night has a thousand eyes

	You, you had to slip away
	After all that spark
	You, said all that you could say
	And slipped into the dark
	I could not let you go
	Alone into the night
	I had to let you know
	The magic there, in the night air

		Chorus
		
	You, somewhere out in the dark
	Runs a wounded heart
	You, stumbling in the night
	In the air of after light
	You take along the fears
	Did you waste these years,
	And did they warn you
	of the night zone all alone

		Chorus

	Sometimes it takes a fight
	To keep everything on track,
	And sometimes it takes a starry night
	To bring the magic back
	This was the time
	And this was the place
	with starlight on your face
	And the moon on the rise,
	The night has a thousand eyes

Eric Troyer, 4:28

Can't Get It Out Of My Head


	Midnight on the water.
	I saw the ocean's daughter.
	Walking on a wave's chicane,
	staring as she called my name.

      		And I can't get it out of my head,
      		no, I can't get it out of my head.
      		Now my old world is gone for dead
      		'cos I can't get it out of my head.

	Breakdown on the shoreline,
	can't move, it's an ebbtide.
	Morning don't get here till night,
	searching for her silver light.

      		And I can't get it out of my head,
      		no, I can't get it out of my head.
      		Now my old world is gone for dead
      		'cos I can't get it out of my head, no no.

	Bank job in the city.
	Robin Hood and William Tell and Ivanhoe and Lancelot, they don't envy me. 
	Sitting till the sun goes down,
	in dreams the world keep going  round and  round.

      		And I can't get it out of my head,
      		no, I can't get it out of my head.
      		Now my old world is gone for dead
      		'cos I can't get it out of my head, no no.

      		No, I can't get it out of my head,
      		no, I can't get it out of my head.
      		Now my old world is gone for dead
      		'cos I can't get it out of my head, no no no no.

Telephone Line


	Hello--how are you
	Have you been alright, through all those lonely nights,
	That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything,
	If you'd pick up that telephone.

	Hey--how you feelin'
	Are you still the same
	Don't you realize the things we did were all for real not a dream,
	I just can't believe
	They've all faded out of view.

        I look into the sky
                (The love you need ain't gonna see you through.)
        And I wonder why
                (The little things are finally coming true.)	

		CHORUS
		Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
		Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight

	O.K. so no--one's answering,
	Well can't you just let it ring a little longer
	I'll just sit tight, through the shadows of the night
	Let it ring for evermore.

		CHORUS -- repeat

Roll Over Beethoven


	Gonna write a little letter gonna mail it to me local D.J.
	it's a jumpin little record I want my jockey to play
	Roll Over Beethoven, gotta hear it again today

	My temperature's risin, the juke box's blowin a fuse
	My heart's beatin a rhythm, singin out rhythm and blues
	Roll Over Beethoven, they're rockin in two by two

	Well if you feel you like it, go get your lover and reel and rock it
	roll it over and move on up now, go for cover and reel and rock it
	roll it over, Roll Over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news

	Early in the mornin I'm a givin you the warnin,
    		don't you step on my blue suede shoes
	hey diddle diddle gonna play my fiddle,
    		I ain't got nothing to lose
	Roll Over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news

	She wiggles like a glow-worm, dances like a spinning top
	she got a crazy partner, you should have seen her reel and rock
	long as she got a dime, the music will never stop

	Well if you feel you like it, go get your lover and reel and rock it
	roll it over and move on up now, go for cover and reel and rock it
	roll it over, Roll Over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues

	Roll Over Beethoven, Roll Over Beethoven,
	Roll Over Beethoven, Roll Over Beethoven,
	Roll Over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues?
