It Takes A Woman's Love (To Make A Man) Album: Masque (September 1975) (Steve Walsh) Late every nite when I am all alone I call my baby on the telephone If she was here she'd treat me right And love me love me through this lonely nite Oh I can remember how her love can be And I can't forget the way she looks at me If you got a girl I'm sure she understands It takes a woman's love to make a man We're on the road tryin' to sell a song Been on this road for much too long All day all night it's drivin' me insane Cause I don't know when I'll see her face again But it ain't no easy thing we've got to do And I love her cause she knows it too She surely made me understand It takes a woman's love to make a man It takes a woman's love to make a man I give her love cause what else can it be? I give to her just what she wants from me. She loves me hard, she loves me right She'll love me love me through this lonely nite Then happiness we'll surely know Until again it will be time to go Oh she loves me like nobody can I know that women made me understand It takes a woman's love to make a man Two Cents Worth Album: Masque (September 1975) (Livgren /Walsh) Well I been drinkin' again And I know it's a sin But I just can't refuse an old friend Cause life is gettin' me down And I been two times around And there ain't nothing but pain around the bend I'm not made for the time I'm born in the wrong century There's too much craziness here In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes Now this old world is a fright You know my future ain't bright And I'd just crawl in a hole if I could Or maybe live out in space Or some other far away place And not come back to this earth till it's good Oh but I'm dreaming again I know that I'm here till the end There's too much craziness here In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes Well you might think that I'm all wrong The things I say in this song I really wish I could see it your way Cause there's a storm rollin' in And it just might be the end So I'm praying we'll all get away Now my cup is running dry The weight of the world gets me down There's too much craziness here In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes There's nowhere to turn So I'll just have to learn not to cry, no more It's all I can do till we find something new But I'll get by you know I'll try In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes. Icarus - Borne on Wings of Steel Album: Masque (September 1975) (Livgren) Early in the morning sunlight Soaring on the wings of dawn Here I'll live and die with my wings in the sky And I won't come down no more Higher than a bird I'm flying Crimson skies of ice and fire Borne on wings of steel I have so much to feel And I won't come down no more Sail on, sail on, I will rise each day to meet the dawn So high, so high I've climbed the mountains of the sky Without my wings you know I'd surely die I found my freedom flyin' high I've climbed the mountains of the sky Floating on a cloud of amber Searching for the rainbow's end Earth so far below me, I'm here alone, free I can't come down no more All the World Album: Masque (September 1975) (Steinhardt /Walsh) All the world's forgiving the change is all around And people everywhere have seen the light in what they've found It's a happy place in the human race When all our lives are lived forgiving All the world's for living when love is what you find Despair and loneliness you've got to leave them far behind Tell the clouds to go let the feeling show It's great when life is full of living Everyone's aware they know to change the world we've got to care And people all should know should have happened long ago Or could it be that I just now found out Life is meant to share and it means the same thing everywhere Living everyday, helping people on their way Cause sometimes life gives everyone some doubts Can I have time? Is it right what I feel? At times I doubt what I normally know is real But right now I don't know what to do And it's all because of you I could tell you if I knew that you'd believe As slight and elusive as life sometimes is Right or wrong as we both know we all can be I could never have denied that I need you by my side 'Cause without you life don't seem that much to me I can see an old man cry, it's his time to die And life no longer gives him any breaks He hasn't got a home, no one to call his own Still he tells no one that it is more than he can take When the time is so unkind, an empty future plays in your mind When the darkness cries out to you, can you escape it? What can you do? All the world's forgetting the hate that filled our hearts The times of selfish reasoning that keeps all apart This world was meant to share, let them know you care By making someone's life worth living All the world's believing that this felling's got to stay till all the world is living till all the world is giving till all the world is loving every day Child of Innocence Album: Masque (September 1975) (Livgren) Well I been drinkin' again And I know it's a sin But I just can't refuse an old friend Cause life is gettin' me down And I been two times around And there ain't nothing but pain around the bend I'm not made for the time I'm born in the wrong century There's too much craziness here In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes Now this old world is a fright You know my future ain't bright And I'd just crawl in a hole if I could Or maybe live out in space Or some other far away place And not come back to this earth till it's good Oh but I'm dreaming again I know that I'm here till the end There's too much craziness here In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes Well you might think that I'm all wrong The things I say in this song I really wish I could see it your way Cause there's a storm rollin' in And it just might be the end So I'm praying we'll all get away Now my cup is running dry The weight of the world gets me down There's too much craziness here In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes There's nowhere to turn So I'll just have to learn not to cry, no more It's all I can do till we find something new But I'll get by you know I'll try In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes.
