It's been a long time since I rock and rolled
It's been a long time since I did the stroll
Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back
Let me get it back, baby, where I come from
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time, yes it has

It's been a long time since the book of love
I can't count the tears of a life with no love
A-carry me back, carry me back
Carry me back, baby, where I come from, whoa-ohh ohh, ohhhh
It's been a long time, been a long time
It's been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time

(Guitar Solo)

Ohhhhh, it seems so long since I walked in the moonlight
Making vows that just can't work right, aww-aww yeah
Open your arms, open your arms
Open your arms, baby, let my love come running in, yeah
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time

Yeah-hah hey, yeah-hah hey, yeah-hah hey, yeah-hah hey
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah
It's been a long time, been a long time

. . .



Her face is cracked from smiling
All the fears that she's been hiding
And it seems that pretty soon ev'rybody's gonna know
And her voice is sore from shouting
Cheering winners who are losing
And she worries if their days are few
And soon they'll have to go

My, my, my, I'm so happy
I'm gonna join the band
We're gonna dance and sing in celebration
We're in the promised land

She hears them talk of new ways
To protect the home she lives in
Then she wonders what it's all about
When they break down the door
Her name is Brown or White or Black
You know her very well
You hear her cries of mercy
As the winners toll the bell

My, my, my, I'm so happy
I'm gonna join the band
We are gonna dance and sing in celebration
We are in the promised land

(Guitar Solo)

Ahh, there is a train that leaves the station
Heading for your destination
But the price you pay to nowhere has increased a dollar more
Yes, it has
And if you walk you're gonna get there
Although it takes a little longer
And when you see it in the distance
You will wring your hands and moan, ahhh yeah, moan

Oooh, yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah, moan moan
You're gone, you're gone, you're gone, yeah
You're gone, yeah
My my my my my, my my my my my my
My my my, you are gone, you're gone
My my, yeah

If you walk you're gonna get there
But know it takes a little longer
And when ya see it in the distance

. . .



I had a dream, oh now
Crazy dream, oh-hoh
Anything I wanted to know
Any place I needed to go

Hear my song, yeah
People don't you listen now, sing along, oh
You don't know what you're missing now
Any little song that you know
Everything that's small has to grow
It's all growing, push push, yeah

Na na na na
California sunlight, sweet Calcutta rain
Honolulu starbright The song remains the same, oooh, oooh, ohh-hoh
Here we go

Here we go

Are you gonna Are ya, are ya gonna go now Are ya gonna go now Oooh oooh

Sing out Hare Hare, ooh, dance the Hoochie Koo
City lights are oh so bright, as we go sliding, sliding, sliding, sliding
through
Sliding, sliding, sliding, sliding, sliding, sliding,
yi-ee-yi-ee-yi-ee-yi-ee-yi-ee


. . .



It is the springtime of my loving
The second season I am to know-ooh-oh-ooh-oh
You are the sunlight in my growing
So little warmth I felt before
It isn't hard to feel me glowing
I watched the fire that grew so low

It is the summer of my smiles
Flee from me keepers of the gloom
Speak to me only with your eyes
It is to you I give this tune
Ain't so hard to recognize, oh oh oh
These things are clear to all from time to time, ooooh

Oh hoh, oh hoh

Talk talk talk talk
Hey, I've felt the coldness of my winter
I've never thought it would ever go
I've cursed the gloom that set upon us, 'pon us, 'pon us
But I know that I love you so, ohhhhh, whoa
But I know that I love you so, whoa

These are the seasons of emotion
And like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion
I see the torch we all must hold
This is the mystery of the quotient, quotient
Upon us all, upon us a little rain must fall
Just a little rain

. . .



Been dazed and confused for so long it's not true
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you
Lots of people talkin', few of them know
Soul of a woman was created below, yeah

You hurt and abused tellin' all of your lies
Run around sweet baby, Lord how they hypnotize
Sweet little baby, I don't know where you've been
Gonna love you baby, here I come again

Every day I work so hard, bringin' home my hard-earned pay
Try to love you baby, but you push me away
Don't know where you're goin', only know just where you've been
Sweet little baby, I want you again

(Guitar Solo)

Been dazed and confused for so long, it's not true
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you
Take it easy baby, let them say what they will

. . .



Close the door, put out the light
You know they won't be home tonight
The snow falls hard and don't you know
The winds of Thor are blowing cold
They're wearing steel that's bright and true, oooh
They carry news that must get through

They choose the path where no one goes

They hold no quarter
They hold no quarter, ahhhh

(Piano Solo)
(Guitar Solo)

Walking side by side with death
The devil mocks their every step, ooh-ooh-ooh
The snow drives back the foot that's slow
The dogs of doom are howling more
They carry news that must get through, ohh ohh
To build a dream for me and you

They choose the path where noone goes

They hold no quarter
They ask no quarter
They hold no quarter
They ask no quarter

The pain, the pain without quarter
They ask no quarter
Yeah, without quarter, quarter, quarter, yeah
They need no quarter
The dogs of doom are howling more, gimme quarter

. . .



There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it makes me wonder

There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking

Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it really makes me wonder

And it's whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter

Ohh-ooh ohh-ooh ohh-ooh ohh-ooh ohh hoh

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May-Queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on

And it makes me wonder
Ahhh, hoh-hoh

Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

(Guitar Solo)

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How ev'rything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all, yeah-ee-yeah
To be a rock and not to roll


. . .
