Back to the light Back to the light Back to the streets that are paved with gold Back to the light Going back to the land where the sunshine heals my soul - yeah On and on Searching for a clearer view Winning and losing an inner war Wonder what we do it for Though the road seems never ending Hold on to the hope I'm sending through - yeah No matter where you're going to In the dark I care I'm holding on - believe it We'll be walking in the light 'Cos there'll be no place left to hide Back to the light Back to the streets that are paved with gold Back to the light -yeah I'm going back to the land where the sunshine heals my soul I hear you babe Back to the light (back to the light) Back to the light (back to the light) Back to the light Back to the light -

every time I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be And it seems like there's no way out of this for me I used to bring you sunshine Now all I ever do is bring you down How would it be if you were standing in my shoes Can't you see it's impossible to choose No there's no making sense of it Every way I go I have to lose Oh too much love will kill you Just as sure as none at all It'll drain the power that's in you Make you plead and scream and crawl And the pain will make you crazy You're the victim of your crime Too much love will kill you - every time Too much love will kill you It'll make your life a lie Yes too much love will kill you And you won't understand why You'd give your life you'd sell your soul But here it comes again Too much love will kill you In the end In the end ---------------------------------------- SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE (Russ Ballard) ---------------------------------------- (Оригинал: альбом " Down To Earth" группы Rainbow) I get the same old dreams same time every night Fall to the ground then I wake up So I get out of bed put on my shoes and in my head Thoughts fly back to the breakup These four walls are closing in Look what a fix you put me in Since you've been gone Since you've been gone I'm out of my head, can't take it Could I be wrong But since you've been gone You've got the spell so break it Oooh oooh oooh Since you've been gone So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light I read the words that you sent to me I can take the afternoon, the night time comes around too soon You don't know what you mean to me Your poison letter, your telegram Just goes to show you don't give a damn Since you've been gone Since you've been gone I'm out of my head, can't take it Could I be wrong But since you've been gone You've got the spell so break it Oooh oooh oooh Since you've been gone Everywhere you go baby you know you're never too far Since you've been gone Since you've been gone I'm out of my head, can't take it Could I be wrong But since you've been gone You've got the spell so break it Oooh oooh oooh oooh Ever since you've been gone Since you've been gone Since you've been gone i'm out of my head, can't take it Could I be wrong But since you've been gone You've got the spell so break it Oooh oooh oooh oooh Ever since you've been gone ---------------------------------------- NOW I'M HERE (May) ---------------------------------------- Here I stand (here I stand..)

May) ---------------------------------------- (Песня исполнялась Брайаном на протяжении тура "Back To the Light", но не вошла на альбом по причинам, связаным с авторскими правами) The dream is over, what can I say The dream is over, yesterday We were the fab ones, but now it is gone I was the gentle one, but now I must be strong And so dear friends we'll just have to carry on The dream is over The dream is over, no matter what they say The dream is over, it has to be this way We played in springtime, but now I play in fall We hit the bigtime, but now we are small And our dear friend let's hope he has it all, still The dream is over I don't believe in magic I don't believe in pain I don't believe in heroes I don't believe in fame I don't believe the newsprint I don't believe we're free I don't believe in nations I don't believe in pride I don't believe in pressure I don't believe we're right I don't believe in torture I don't believe in fight I don't believe in colour I don't believe in white I don't believe in history I don't believe in being Queen any more I just believe in me Just you guys and me And that's reality Yes the dream is over Dream on
