Q

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She’s coming in, 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
“Hurry boy, it’s waiting there for you”

I was walkin’ down the street
Concentratin’ on truckin’ right
I heard a dark voice beside of me
And I looked round in a state of fright

I saw four faces, one mad
A brother from the gutter
They looked me up and down a bit
And turned to each other
I say
I don't like cricket (Oh no!)
I love it
I don't like cricket (No no!)
I love it

He came from somewhere back in her long ago

Q 
There's a port on a western bay

She serves them whiskey and wine

I've had nothing but bad luck
Since the day I saw the cat at my door

Same cat with them evil eyes
And I knew it was a spell she cast
She's just a devil woman

Q 
In the corner of my eye
I saw you in Rudy's
You were very high
You were high

Was a book of numbers
And your remedies
(One of these)
Surely will screen out of sorrow
But where are you tomorrow

Q 
Whenever dark has fallen
You know the spirit of the party
Starts to come alive

And lots of lovin' everywhere
So gimme the night
Gimme the night

Nicolette Larson

76
Q

When it all goes crazy and the thrill is gone
When the days get rainy and the nights get long
When you get that feelin’ you were born to lose
Starin’ at your ceiling feelin’ the blues
When there’s so much trouble that you want to cry
When your love has crumbled and you don’t know why
When your hopes are fading and they can’t be found
Dreams have left you waiting friends let you down
Well just remember I love you
And it’ll be all right

A

Firefall

77

78
Q

Spending all my nights, all my money going out on the town
Doing anything just to get you off of my mind

There was something in everything about you

I realize the best part of love is the thinnest slice
And it don’t count for much

Reach for a star and I’ll show you a plan
I figured it out
What I needed was someone to show me

A

Air Supply

81
Q 
Tonight I'm gonna break away
Just to wait and see
I've never been imprisoned by
A faded memory
Just when I think I'm over her
This broken heart will mend
I hear her name and I have to cry
The tears come down again
It happens all the time
This crazy love of mine
Wraps around my heart
Refusing to unwind
Ooh-ooh, crazy love, ah
A

Poco

Q 
We've got all night, lets take our time
Tell me your secret, I'll tell you mine

You make me (crazy but I want you still)
If it makes us feel better,

Poco

83
Q 
In the heart of the night
In the cool Southern rain
There's a full moon in sight
Shining down on the Pontchartrain
And the river she rises
Just like she used to do
She's so full of surprises
She reminds me of you
In the heart of the night
In the heart of the night
In the heart of the night

Q 
The wind blew some luck in my direction
I caught it in my hands today
I finally made a tricky French connection
You winked and gave me your okay
I'll take you on a trip beside the ocean
And drop the top at Chesapeake Bay
Ain't nothing like the sky to dose a potion
The moon'll send you on your way
Moonlight
Feels right

Q

Day after day I’m more confused
Yet I look for the light through the pourin’ rain
You know that’s a game that I hate to lose
And I’m feeling the strain
Ah, ain’t it a shame?
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock ‘n’ roll
And drift away
Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock ‘n’ roll
And drift away
