Cale Thirty days have September In a jailhouse I remember Well, I got caught with too much soul Bringing it back from Mexico Bringing it back from Mexico Spanish lights and pretty faces Trip you out to where the place is Load you up and let you go Bringing it back from Mexico Bringing it back from Mexico Across the border is where you'll get her And when it's good there ain't no better I think I'll get me some to go A-brining it back from Mexico Bringing it back from Mexico Lonely Wind Album: Kansas (1974) Steve Walsh When I'm needin' a friend I can talk to the wind God I sure am glad that I found him Sometimes he seems to be the only one beside me Who can feel the Lord's breath all around him Winter's cold frozen ice or a bright autumn day On a warm summer night you can hear him say Cry for me, sigh for me, sad breezes flow Stay for me, play for me, the song my friends will know My lonely wind must blow Mighty friend that is mine, can you give me a sign? He'll leave nothing but only to hear him I've seen the tall trees bend low when his mighty winds blow And that's all the more reason I fear him Hear him call for the earth lonely I can feel his great pain But on the eve of this day I'll join in his refrain Cry for me, sigh for me, sad breezes flow Stay for me, play for me, the song my friends will know My lonely wind must blow When I'm needing a friend I'll remember the wind And my life here with the breezes of sorrow I'll be leaving himoon 'cause I've got to make room For the lonely that will find him tomorrow On a black stormy night in your bosom I'll cling And I'll know I've found love and the last song we'll sing Cry for me, sigh for me, sad breezes flow Stay for me, play for me, the song my friends will know My lonely wind must blow Belexes Album: Kansas (1974) Kerry Livgren Oh, I cannot tell you to make up your mind And gather together the best of your kind The prophets have spoken the words of ill fate Your childhood has ended you've taken the bait You've got the power it's there deep inside Just look around and you'll know what you've tried So much relies on the course that you take The fool and the wise man both burn at the stake-ah Oooh ... Oooh ... Yeah ... Oooh ... Oooh ... Yeah ... Look at the heads buried deep in the sand Hiding from evil made by their own hand The prophets have spoken the words of ill fate Your childhood has eneded you've taken the bait You've got the power it's there deep iniside Just look around and you'll know what you've tried So much relies on the course that you take The fool and the wise man both burn at the stake-ah Oooh ... Oooh ... Journey From Mariabronn Album: Kansas (1974) Kerry Livgren /Steve Walsh Two began together, lived as one Each one to the other had become More than a friend, living to meet a common end They were true, each one knew all is well Still the elder knew it could not last Hidden memories from the young one's past Drew them apart Both knew that deep within his heart they must part Each their own seperate way It puzzles me how we can be so close and yet worlds apart Can it be, my memory has torn my life in two >From the very start I screamed for the devil to let me be I called to the heavens to set me free Today I prayed for the answer and not one Of the gods in the sky would rescue me Dreams of fortune fill the young one's mind Learn the worldy ways of hope to find Love on the way, searching to find the light of day In his soul he had found his own way But to each other they soon will return Destiny fulfilled, their words will burn an eternal flame The Pilgrimage Album: Kansas (1974) Livgren /Walsh Dark and silent brooding, stillness falls Sounds caress the waiting empty halls Pilgrims flock from miles around Seekers in the night abound All have come to feel the sound of joy Patient eyes are watching from below Mirror image flashing in the glow Hands are joined in energy All approaching ecstacy Harnessing the power in the air Awesome in their patient majesty Pouring forth the fruits of harmony Hands are joined in energy All approaching ecstacy Harnessing the power in the air Aperçu Album: Kansas (1974) Livgren /Walsh The mist of time is still concealing The vision that I seek Those who died have all borne witness If only they would speak Yet I saw it all inside me, for a moment Were you with me? Have we done it all before, is there really so much more? Now and then we've all been given A glimpse of bygone days I'd give all to see it clearly Not shrouded in the haze Yet I saw it all inside me, for a moment Were you with me? Have we done it all before, is there really so much more? Each man has a memory Much more than the eye can see Yet still others linger deep inside you Haunting thoughts of pain and joy divide you Look beyond your eyes At the dark and moody skies For they're standing in your way And I feel the light of day Now the earth gives forth it's secrets Held in mountain sea and plain They have never been forgotten Only locked inside my brain While I slept I had a vision, I remember You were with me We have done it all before, in our minds behind the door Death Of Mother Nature Suite Album: Kansas (1974) Kerry Livgren Every day she gets a little weaker The beauty she once knew has come and gone We've murdered all her sons and all her daughters The blood is on your hands, the time has come And now she's gonna die We've strangled all her trees and starved her creatures There's poison in the sea and in the air But worst of all we've learned to live without her We've lost the very meaning of our lives And now she's gonna die Once she ruled the earth with love and wisdom But we were much too smart to live her way With greed and lust we tried to rise above her The ignorance of man will reach an end 'Cause now we're gonna die |
