TALISMAN LYRICS

1. Time After Time

You were young and so naïve,
Was a murder in the first degree
I couldn't help the beating of my heart
It was something that was made in heaven
Something I couldn't resist, yeah
And nothing could ever pull our world apart,
But you cried in the rain, and played the fool, yeah
And I'm still running to you

Time after time, I tell you I'm sorry,
Those are the words I'm saying to you,
Time after time

You were, I was, given one more try
Gave your body, and soul desire,
I did my best to win your love again
But I didn't see it coming, it came up from behind
And left me lying, left me lying for dead
Just when it seemed you were missing,
You're begging to come in.

Time after time, you tell me you're sorry
Those are the words, I'm hearing again
Time after time,
There's no need to worry
Love will return, time after time

No matter what you say, I know you'll be back again,

Time after time, say that you're leaving
Those are the words I'm hearing, hearing again
Time after time I can't stop believing
Time after time love will return

2. Comin' Home

I've been away so long
Never thought I'd return
But somehow I had to get back
To see you again
I've been through some bad times
Yes I've been through hell
To many days when I've cried in vain

I'm riding on the wings of passion, so high!
And out of the darkness I'm guided by a light
Now I'm coming home, coming home
Gotta find my way back home
Coming home

There is no mystery, as to what the future holds in store
'Cause who is in need of a key to an open door?

No I'm not afraid, 'cause I see the light
It's worth all the tears that I cried in vain

3. Mysterious (This Time It's Serious)

Girl what's on your mind,
You got something that's ailing you
I'm dying for your every touch
Your fantasy, if you want me to be,

Can't let you, can't let you go
It's so mysterious
So let me know, cause I gotta know
This time it's serious
All the years gone by
Seems I've been walking alone
But now with you by my side,
I'll claim your love, show you what I'm made of

Can't let you, can't let you go
It's so mysterious
So let me know, cause I gotta know
This time it's serious
All the years gone by
Seems I've been walking alone
But now with you by my side,
I'll claim your love, show you what I'm made of

Fill my mind with things to say, yes you do
I need your love inside of me, inside of me

[Solo]

So where do I draw the line,
Tell me what do you want me to do
Cause I've been waiting so long
If you feel the same, forever keep the flame

4. If U Would Only Be My Friend

Same old story, but in my own words
It's just pain and misery
'Cause that's all I am, just another man
Begging for sympathy
Sometimes I say to myself
That I'm dreaming, that nobody cares any more
But now I've got to believe that someday soon
I'll find someone worth waiting for

If you would only, be my friend,
I would love you 'til the end
And through good times and bad times too,
I'll stand by you, 'til the end

I once knew love but it's in her past
Why do good things never last
It's so hard to find the loss
I feel inside, god only knows I've tried

But now I've got to move on
There's no turning back,
Can't live on memories
So here I am getting down on my knees
Somebody save me please

If you would only, be my friend,
I would love you 'til the end
And thru good times and bad times too,
I'll stand by you, 'til the end

Just like an angel who's fallen out of grace
God don't seem to hear me calling
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one here,
Is there anybody out there? Yeah!

Here I am another lonely man,
Begging for sympathy
One day I know I'll find someone,
Someone who believes in me

5. All or Nothing

Jenny was a young girl, so innocent and fine
Reaching out to find her dreams, leave it all behind
Armed with the desire, ain't never gonna stop
Gotta beg, steal and borrow, to make it to the top

No denying, it's a nervous push and shove
But one thing that's for sure
It's all or nothing, no time for rules
All or nothing, no time for fools
And while you're fighting for your life
Show no mercy, it's all or nothing, do or die

Jimmy was a gambler, a roller of the dice,
Shooting time and time again, fortune in his eyes,
Forget that killer instinct they all said he would need
Because with him there's pain and pleasure, no choice in between

Living for the danger of turning up an empty hand
But one thing that's for sure

6. All I Want

It's going round that you're leaving me
But I've tried everything to make you stay
I'm blinded by a fading memory
Of hoping you'll be back again someday

I'd give up everything just to hold you once again
I'm praying for a reason to make you understand
And if I knew the answer, rest assured I'd let you in...

All I want it's plain to say
Remember the yesterdays, take a chance on the dream
All I want it's in my eyes
Believe in a miracle somewhere in the night

I called your number, but you just let it ring
Maybe it's because you're not alone tonight
It's getting harder as the days go by
And this emptiness is killing me inside

All I'm asking now is that you help me ease the pain
I need your love just to shelter me from the pouring rain
Tell me everything is gonna be alright someday...

All I want it's plain to say
Remember the yesterdays, take a chance on the dream
All I want it's in my eyes
Believe in a miracle somewhere in the night

I'd give up everything just to hold you once again
I'm praying for a reason to make you understand
And if I knew the answer, rest assured I'd let you in...

All I want it's plain to say
Remember the yesterdays, take a chance on the dream
All I want it's in my eyes
Believe in a miracle somewhere in the night

All I want it's plain to say
Remember the yesterdays, take a chance on the dream
All I want it's in my eyes
Believe in a miracle somewhere in the night

Now all I want is you and me
Remember the yesterdays, take a chance on the dream
All I want it's in my eyes
Believe in a miracle somewhere in the night

7. U Done Me Wrong

Dawning wither, you've got me burning
It's such a critical condition
All or nothing or so I'm learning
But it wasn't my decision

I can't believe what you're doing to me
I guessed it from the start, yeah
You took my love and you threw it away
Now I know, you done me wrong

Stop pretending, there's no reason
Somehow you just were never satisfied
I was a victim, in your act of treason
But now this comes as no surprise

I can't believe what you're doing to me
I guessed it from the start, yeah
You took my love and you threw it away
Now I know, you done me wrong

I can't believe what you're doing to me
I guessed it from the start, yeah
You took my love and you threw it away
Now I know, you done me wrong

Just close that door as you're walking away
I won't be a fool no more
I'll say it once, and I'll say it again
Now I know, you've done me wrong

8. I'll Set Your House on Fire

Hey baby I got something I want you to know
Well, my luck is changing
And everything that's yours will soon be mine
Mmm... yes it will
So now you're learning and now I won't be the one
That's left behind (and that's the truth)
'Cause I will lock your door
And throw away the key,

C'mon baby, well, I'll set your house on fire
Now I'm taking over
And you won't see me, before it's too late
You had your chances

But now my time has come and I just can't wait
Now check this out I'm gonna make it happen
'Cause I'm that kind of man, if you can stop me, here I am
You must be crazy, now if you think that you can hold me down

C'mon baby, well, I'll set your house on fire
Now I'm taking over
And you won't see me, before it's too late
You had your chances

You can't talk to me, 'cause that's how it's gonna be
Well, I'll set your, set your, house on fire

9. Give Me a Sign

Hypnotized, in my mind
Something about the way you move
I see your body running through these hands of mine
Feel you up, feel you down
Oh you've got to fade no motion
And the night is burning, burning like the dance of sky
Dirty days, dirty lies tell me where do we go
I need to know girl, if I qualify

Give a sign in the night
Baby, we can run away
Visions of paradise, pictures of dreams come true
Give a sign in the night
Baby, would you take me in?
Anything oh! Anytime now baby
You gotta give me a sign
You gotta give me a sign

All your love, fill me up
Sending through the walls of passion
And a silent whisper must have found the crowds of desire

All the mates and all the lies,
But I still just don't know
Moments that we share don't justify

Give a sign in the night
Baby, we can run away
Visions of paradise, pictures of dreams come true
Give a sign in the night
Baby, would you take me in?
Anything oh! Anytime now baby
You gotta give me a sign
You gotta give me a sign

I need to see the writing in your eyes

Give a sign in the night
Baby, we can run away
Visions of paradise, pictures of dreams come true
Give a sign in the night
Baby, would you take me in?
Anything oh! Anytime now baby
You gotta give me a sign
You gotta give me a sign
Why don't you give me a sign

10. Lovechild

I caught her staring, a psychedelic dancer,
Green velvet down to her thighs,
We took a ride in a blissful celebration,
A zillion roses fell down from the sky,
Romanced about the garden,
With the beads around our soul

Something 'bout the way she took my love inside,
We took a stroll in the sun, danced by the moonlight,
Visions of brubaker light up dreams

Now rivers may run, but skies fall to blue nights,
'Cause nothing's as true as, my love child,
I kissed her sweet lips, somehow knew the answers to all,
The everyday questions of love

Now years may go by, still I know we'll be together,
It's written in the rising stars above

I swear I'd surely die if she would ever walk away,
I fear we never wake from this recurring dream,
We'll take a stroll in the sun, dance by the moonlight

Visions of brubaker light up dreams,
Rivers may run, but skies fall to blue nights,
'Cause nothing's as true as my love child

11. Long Way 2 Go

Last night, I had a dream
Of how we lived as one society
No wars, no pain, no hunger
I hope I'll be around to see it become reality
I've even thought about our children's dreams
And what we've left behind
I do believe we've got a long way to go
But not a lot of time

A never-ending road to paradise
Now, will we ever be there
We got a long way to go

It's not too late for a new beginning
Read between the lines of love and hate
Before we go we've gotta live together

The future's what we make it, it's ours today
We gotta join our hands in unity
Make them standing strong

We gotta come together you and me
Rearranging right from wrong
A never ending road to paradise

Can you take me there?
Gotta long way to go!
Before we go we've gotta live together
The future's ours today
We gotta join our hands in unity

And make them standing strong
We gotta come together you and me
Rearranging right from wrong
The never ending road to paradise

Can you take me there?
Gotta long way to go
We've gotta long way to go
Such a long way to go

12. Run with the Pack

[Japanese Release Bonus Track]
[originally by Bad Company]

You never give me my money
You only give me your sympathy
'Cause I keep on running
There is no way to catch up with me

I'm leaving you
Don't make no fuss
You won't even see me oh no for dust

I'm running with the pack, running with the pack
I'm running with the pack, never looking back

You try to keep me in cages
But baby you got to catch me first
You think your law is contagious
I'll do my best you can do your worst

I'm leaving you
Now who can I trust
You won't even see me oh no for dust

I'm running with the pack, running with the pack
I'm running with the pack, never looking back

I'm running with the pack, running with the pack
I'm running with the pack, never looking back

I'm running with the pack, running with the pack
I'm running with the pack, never looking back

You can't hold me down...
You can't hold me back...
On my own way...
Running with the pack
Never, never, never looking back
Keep on running, keep on running, yeah
Moving on, moving out
