The queen of light took her bow
And then she turned to go
The prince of peace embraced the gloom
And walked the night alone

Oh, dance in the dark of night

The dark lord rides in force tonight
And time will tell us all

Oh, throw down your plow and hoe

Side by side we wait the night
The darkest of them all

I hear the horses' thunder
Down in the valley below
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon
Waiting for the eastern glow

The apples of the valley hold
The seas of happiness
The ground is rich from tender care
Repay, do not forget

The apples turn to brown and black
The tyrant's face is red, ohhhh

Oh, war is the common cry

The sky is filled with good and bad
That mortals never know, ohhh

Oh, well, the night is long
The beads of time pass slow
Tired eyes on the sunrise
Waiting for the eastern glow

The pain of war cannot exceed
The woe of aftermath
The drums will shake the castle wall
The ring wraiths ride in black

Sing as you raise your bow

No comfort has the fire at night
That lights the face so cold


Oh, dance in the dark of night

The magic runes are writ in gold
To bring the balance back
Bring it back

At last the sun is shining
The clouds of blue roll by
With flames from the dragon of darkness
The sunlight blinds his eyes

My love is in league with the freeway
Its passion will ride, as the cities fly by
And the tail-lights dissolve, in the coming of night
And the questions in thousands take flight
My love is a-miles in the waiting
The eyes that just stare, and the glance at the clock
And the secret that burns, and the pain that grows dark
And it's you once again
Leading me on - leading me down the road
Driving beyond - driving me down the road

My love is exceedingly vivid
Red-eyed and fevered with the hum of the miles
Distance and longing, my thoughts do provide
Should I rest for a while at the side
Your love is cradled in knowing
Eyes in the mirror, still expecting they'll come
Sensing too well when the journey is done
There is no turning back - no
There is no turning back - on the run

My love is in league with the freeway
Oh the freeway, and the coming of night-time
My love is in league with the freeway

I hear a far-away voice on the telephone line
Tell me what to think to tell it apart
Said how about 4,000 miles, and 21 years
Do you think that's enough for a start?

I'm up to fifteen thousand and holding
Pass the time just smiling at you
But this seat belt is kind of exposing
Putting pressure on my big love for you
My big love for you, my big love for you - my big, my big --
My big love for you, my big love for you - my big, my big --

Will the hostess think I'm exploding?
Must have finally got this bird off the ground
Girl, oh girl, if my tank's overloading
She's weighted and she loves to go down
She loves to go down, she loves to go down - she loves, she loves --
She loves to go down, she loves to go down - she loves, she loves --

When I fly your friendly skies how I love the big surprise
I will fill your cup with fire - just give me your free air miles

When I fly her friendly skies [etc repeated]

I take myself down the aisle to the bathroom
Are you sure that there's room here for two
She says: "fifteen thousand and hold him"
As we talk about my big love for you
Yes we talk about my big, we talk about my big
We talk about my big love for you

How I love your friendly skies
I will fill your cup with fire (my big, my big, my big)
When I fly her friendly skies how I love her big surprise
I will fill your cup with fire (she loves, she loves, she loves)
Hello baby, I just love to fly, fly, fly
I been five days - I've been saving up all of my free air miles
I got nylon stockings - I got chocolate bars
I got a nervous criminal in a new Lincoln car
One time I saw Las Vegas
(She loves, my big, she loves)
I stopped in a motel - I slept in the same room as Jimmy Page
They just finished remodelling it from the '75 tour
I got my free air miles
(She loves, she loves, my big)
When I fly her friendly skies how I love her big surprise
I will fill your cup with fire (she loves, my big, she loves)
Free air miles - big love
Free air miles - big love --

Billy and Jenny will never get old
That's the kind of love in a story untold
Kisses are burning, and a touch is so hot
Crazy with lovin'

Wide as the sky and deep as the ocean
Crazy with love and wild devotion
Feeling went cool when the touching stopped
Crazy with lovin'

She's been looking for someone
He's been looking for someone
Oh - trouble gonna come someday

Billy comes home and Jenny's not there
Walkin' the floor and tearin' his hair
Feeling went cool when the touching stopped
Crazy with lovin'

He's been looking for someone
She's been looking for someone
Oh - trouble gonna come someday

Billy turned the corner
Goes through the night
Shaking in the shadows
Billy's only got one thing on his mind

It's a heartbreak town
It's a heartbreak, heartbreak, heartbreak, heartbreak

She's been looking for someone
He's been looking for someone

He's been looking for someone
She's been looking for someone
Oh - trouble gonna come someday
Bye bye trouble - trouble gonna leave you now

Billy and Jenny will never get old
That's the kind of love in a story untold
Kisses are burning and a touch is so hot
When you're crazy with lovin' you can't stop

Another day is ended
And I remember when
My world came falling down
Out there the stars stopped dancing
Lost in my darkness now
The rain keeps falling down

Light of my life - where have you gone?
Love's true flame dies without the warmth of your sun

Here comes a blue train rolling
Across my heart it crawls
The rain still falling down
Another day escapes me
A little later maybe
Love will roll around

Light of my life [etc repeated]

I been waiting on a corner
Yeah, I been waiting for a sign to be found
I been waiting on a corner
I been waiting for a sign now
Oh, now

Light of my life [etc repeated]

So you know the blue train go
It carry my heart and my soul
Whistle blowing - blue train rolling
Carry my darkness all around
Whistle blow - blue train roll
Carry my heart

I been waiting on a corner
I been wishing for a sign now
I been waiting on a corner
I been waiting for a sign now
Whistle blowing - blue train going
Calling across my mind now

I been standing on the corner
I been waiting for the sun to go down
Yeah, the blue train - it's the blue train
Oh, it's a blue train rolling

Slipped through the window by the back door
Caught short in transit with my love
Jumped up, fell back, cut off from romance,
How could I fall without a shove
Tip-toed like thunder on my feelings
You rock me gently with your sighs
My knees are weak - my head is reeling
Consumed by the fire in your eyes
Stepped in and shattered my defences,
Just playing hookey with my heart
Slipped through the window by the back door
And took the keys to my poor heart, yes my poor heart

Try as I might - try as I may
Yes I'll try anything to make you stay
Cause I need your love - yes I need your love --
I'm looking high - I'm looking low,
Can't find where did my baby go
Gotta find out why she ran away
I don't know where did my baby stay
Try as I might - try as I may
Yes I'll try anything to make you stay

Fire down the Boulevard d'Amour
Shoot through the neon in the night
Hot foot through alleys - check the doorways
Try that old parking lot on Ninth
There's three-course kissing in the same place
But that don't help me out no more
I've been away so long and dreaming
Little girl ain't I seen you before

My mind is cracked - I stand alone
And my way is dark as night
Back on the hill the wind did moan
And big black clouds fly by

The rain fell down - it drowned my heart
It raged inside my soul
A pain that tore the skies apart
And a twisted night unfolds

Oh, burning up - I'm burning up - I'm burning up

This lonely road that I must walk
All these tears that burn my eyes
Emptiness my torment draws
In my silent, loveless life

Oh, burning up - I'm burning up - I'm burning up

Oh, can you hear me?
Hear me calling 'cross a thousand miles
Oh, would you lead me?
If I die, I die a thousand times

[Like a volcano] I'm burning up
[Like a volcano] I'm burning up --
