(Anderson)
Soon oh soon the light
Pass within and soothe the endless night
And wait here for you
Our reason to be here

Soon oh soon the time
All we move to gain will reach and calm
Our heart is open
Our reason to be here

Long ago, set into rhyme

Soon oh soon the light
Ours to shape for all time, ours the right
The sun will lead us
Our reason to be here
The sun will lead us
Our reason to be here

next song previous song Yes: Symphonic Music Of Yes Yes: Highlights - The Very Best Of Yes Yes: Yesstory Yes: Yesyears Yes: Classic Yes Yes: Yesshows Yes: Going For The One Wonderous Stories
(Anderson)
I awoke this morning
love laid me down by a river.
Drifting I turned on upstream
Bound for my forgiver.
In the giving of my eyes to see your face.
Sound did silence me
leaving no trace.
I beg to leave, to hear your wonderous stories.
Beg to hear your wonderous stories.

He spoke of lands not far
or lands they were in his mind.
Of fusion captured high
where reason captured his time.
In no time at all he took me to the gate.
In haste I quickly checked the time.
if I was late I had to leave to hear your wonderous stories.
Had to hear your wonderous stories.

Hearing
Hearing
Hearing your wonderous stories.
Hearing your wonderous stories.
It is no lie I can see deeply into the future.
Imagine everything
You're close
and were you there to stand
so cautiously at first and then so high.
As he spoke my spirit climbed into the sky.
I bid it to return
to hear your wonderous stories.
Return to hear your wonderous stories.

Hearing,
Hearing,
Hearing,
Hearing,
Hearing,
next song previous song Yes: Keys To Ascension Yes: Yesyears Yes: Going For The One Awaken
(Anderson/Howe)
High vibration go on
to the sun, oh let my heart dreaming
past a mortal as me.
Where can I be?

Wish the sun to stand still.
Reaching out to touch our own being
Past a mortal as we
Here we can be
We can be here,
be here now.
Here we can be.

TOUCH      STAR,SONG,AGE,LESS         TOUCHING

Workings of man
set to ply out historical life.
Reregaining the flower of the fruit of his tree.
All awakening, all restoring you.

Workings of man, crying out from the fires set aflame.
By his blindness to see that the warmth of his being
is promised for his seeing, his reaching so clearly.

Workings of man
driven far from the path.
Rereleased in inhibitions
So that all is left for you
        all is left for you
        all is left for you
        all this left for you now.

Master of things.          Master of light.
Songs cast alight on you.              All pure chance.
Hark thru dark ties.                   As exists cross divided.
That tunnel us out of sane existence.  In all encircling mode.
In challenge as direct.                Oh closely guided plan.
As eyes see young stars assemble.      Awaken in our heart.

Master of soul.                        Master of time.
Set to touch.            Setting sail.
All impenetrable youth.          Over all of our lands.
Ask away.            And as we look.
That thought be contact.         Forever closer.
With all thats clear.          Shall we now bid.
Be honest with yourself.         Farewell, farewell.
Theres no doubt, no doubt.

High vibration go on
to the sun, oh let my heart dreaming
past a mortal as me.
Where can I be?

Wish the sun to stand still.
Reaching out to touch our own being
Past a mortal as we
Here we can be
We can be here.

Like the time I ran away
and turned around
and you were standing close to me.

Like the time I ran away
and turned around
and you were standing close to me.

(Anderson)
Get the idea cross around the track
underneath the flank of thoroughbred racing chasers.
Getting the feel as a river flows.
Would youlike to go 'n shoot the mountain masses?
And here you stand no taller than the grass sees.
And should you really chase so hard.
The truth of sport plays rings around you.

Going for the one
Going for the one

Get in the way as the tons of water
racing with you crashing thru the rudder.
Once at the start you can gamble
that you really surely really mean to finish.
After seeing all your sense of fear diminish.
As you treat danger a pure collection.
As you throw away misconceptions.
Going for the one.
Going for the one.
Going for a

listen to life

taken so high.
Roundabout, sounding out, love you so
love you so
love you so

Now the verses I've sang
don't add much weight to the story in my head
so I'm thinking I should go and write a punch line.
But they're so hard to find
in my cosmic mind
so I think I'll take a look out of the window.
When I think about you
I don't feel low.
N'should I really chase so hard.
The truth of sport plays rings around you.
Going for the one.
Going for the one.

next song previous song Yes: Yesyears Money
(Squire/Anderson/White/Wakeman)
Money high, Money low
Money come , Money go.
'Don*t worry me
'Don*t worry me

          (Money don*t buy)

The things that we like, the things that we love
The things that we have, so high above
Don*t bother me
          (It doesn*t even matter to you)
Don*t bother me
          (Money doesn*t grow on trees)
Just don*t worry!

Now listen!

Suns do shine, moons do glow
Simplicity everyone knows
Don*t hurry me
          (I*m in the middle of a dream)
Don*t hurry me
          (It*s not at all the way it seems)

Now!

Money so high, money so low
Money to count, money to go
It won*t be there where I go
          (Where is that you*re going to?)
It won*t be there where I go
          (Where is that you*re going to?)

Just won*t be there
No way!

            [...Screw anything you can... and I*m trying
                                      to do that with the country...]

Do wop...
Da da da...
next song previous song Yes: Yesyears Abilene
(Howe)
Something*s goin on
I don*t know what it is
But my phone just rang and I didn*t get no call
No call.
Just waiting here

Abilene, it's got a lot of what you don*t need
It*s got lots of space
Still nothing seems misplaced
You*ve got a face
You are spacey

You got to take it as it comes to you
Don*t need no act of contemplation
Just keep it off your wasteful way for now (?)
It*s not you who has got to change
It*s not your way at all
It*s got to be you

It*s got to be you
The look in your eyes,
the feel of your body close to me
It*s got to be you
Who tells me the world spin away without love

You...
Reason, oh, reason for being once more together
It*s got to be you.


It*s got to be you
The look in your eyes,
the feel of your body close to me
It*s got to be you
Who tells me the world spin away without love

You...
Reason, oh, reason for being once more together
It*s got to be you.
It*s got to be you.
It*s got to be you.
It*s got to be you.
next song previous song Yes: Yesstory Yes: Yesyears Yes: Yesshows Yes: Tormato Don't Kill The Whale
(Anderson/Squire)
You're first I'm last
You're thirst I'm asked to justify
Killing our last heaven beast
Don't hunt the whale

In beauty vision
Do we offer much
If we reason with destiny, gonna lose our touch
Don't kill the whale

Rejoice they sing
They worship their own space
In a moment of love, they will die for their grace
Don't kill the whale

If time will allow
We will judge all who came
In the wake of our new age to stand for the frail
Don't kill the whale

CETACEI....
next song previous song Yes: Yesyears Yes: Tormato On the Silent Wings Of Freedom
(Anderson/Squire)
On the silent wings of freedom
Where I ofer myself midst the balancing of the sun
On the winds of celestial seasons
That would carry me on, midst the balance of being one
On the dream of our love eternal
That will eventually bring our living once more with you

Where we are coming from
Or where we go
We only know e come with sound

Where we are coming from
Or where we go
We only know we go around and around

On the back of your forty-second screamdown
Do you choose to be lost midst the challenge of being one
On the flight of regardless feelings
As you hurtle to fear midst the challenge of everyone

On the darkest night so painful
Do you hunger for love midst the torture of being one
On the passing light of easing
Have you seen you inside midst the being of everyone
To the common goal of freedom
Where we offer ourselves midst the balancing of the sun

Where we are coming froom
Or where we go
We only know we come with sound

Where we are coming from
Or where we go
We only know we go around and around
next song previous song Yes: Yesyears Yes: Drama Does It Really Happen?
(Downes/Horn/Howe/Squire/White)
That's what you say
Does it really happen to you
Does that explain
This is the season for this display.
To take a look
In time to move together

Chorus:
Time is the measure before it's begun
Slips away like running water
Live for the pleasure, live by the gun
Heritage for sun and daughter
Down to the slaughter up for the fun
Up for anything.

Could this be true
Does it ever happen to you
And can you prove
That wheels go 'round in reason
You take a step
In  time,
To move together

Chorus

You walk, the way
You take, the path
To be, assured
You draw, a graph
The scale, you use
Is all, on black
Be brave, the weight
Will make, the heat
There is, no way
To take-it back.

Repeat chorus
next song previous song Yes: Yesyears Yes: Drama Tempus Fugit
(Downes/Horn/Howe/Squire/White)
Born in the night
She would run like a leopard
That freaks at the sight
Of a mind close beside herself
And the nearer I came
How the country would change
She was using the landscape
To hide herself.

More in the mind
Than the body this feeling
A sense at the end
Of a circular line
That is drawn at an angle
I see when I'm with you
To navigate waters and finally answer to-yes.

If you were there  you would want to be near me
Innocence, you could hold all the materials
And though nothing would really be living
It would shock Your fall into landing light
In the north sky time flies fast to the morning
The cold of the dawn it meant nothing to us
You were keeping your best situation
An answer to-yes

(Yes, Yes) And the moment I see you
(Yes, Yes) It's so good to be near you
(Yes, Yes) And the feeling you give me
(Yes, Yes) Makes me want to be with you
(Yes, Yes) From the moment you tell me - yes

If you could see all the roads I have travelled
Towards some unusable last equilibrium
Run like an athlete and die like a dead beaten speed-freak
An answer to all of your answers to-yes

In the north sky time flies faster than morning
The cold of the dawn it meant nothing to us
You were keeping your best situation
An answer to Yes

(Yes, Yes) And the moment I see you
(Yes, Yes) It's so good to be near you
(Yes, Yes) And the feeling you give me
(Yes, Yes) Makes me want to be with you
(Yes, Yes) If we wait for an answer
(Yes, Yes) Will the silence be broken
(Yes, Yes) Should we wait for an answer
(Yes, Yes) Do we leave it unspoken

(Yes Yes Yes Yes . . .)
next song previous song Yes: Yesyears Run With The Fox
(Squire/White/Sinfield)
Now the season,  Now the question
Time to breathe a moment's grace
For the Hunter and the Hunted
Taking time to break the pace

Are you hopeful?  Are you haunted
By the ghost of Christmas Past?
Face the future  undaunted
Step aside or take your chance

Run with the Fox
Into the wind
Unto the dawn of tomorrow

Run with the Fox
Into the wild
Into the wild in the fold

Beware of the rocks
And be prepared
Prepare for love comes and goes

Run with the Fox

Every year the revolution
One more lost before begun
While we fight our mass confusion
Thus we walk before we run

Run with the Fox
Into the wind
Onto the dawn of tomorrow

Run with the Fox
Into the wild
Into the wild in the cold

Beware of the rocks
And be prepared
Prepare, for love finally grows

Ahh...  Ahh...  Ahhh....

Let us live to tell a story
Here on Earth and out in Space
Foreward on the road to glory
History records the chase

Have yourselves that certain Christmas
Eat, be glad, and drink the wine
Leave your sadness by the river
Giving love and given time.

Ahh... Ahhh...

Across the ice of frozen lakes
    Run with the Fox
Along the lanes a lover takes
    Run with the Fox
Beneath a moon, a Christmas moon
    Run with the Fox
And sing a tune, a dreamer's tune
    Run with the Fox
Across the bridge of many ways
    Run with the Fox
Onto the place where dreamers bathe
  Run with the Fox
Beneath a moon, a Christmas moon
    Run with the Fox
Yes: Yesyears (4th disc) previous song Yes: Yesyears I'm Down
(Lennon/McCartney)
You telling lies thinking I can't see
You don't cry 'cos you're laughing at me
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (Down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down
(How can you laugh) When you know I'm down.

Man buys ring woman throws it away
Same damn thing happens everyday
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (Down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down
(How can you laugh) When you know I'm down.

We're all alone and there's nobody else
You still moan: "Keep your hands to yourself!"
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (Down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down
(How can you laugh) When you know I'm down.

Don't you know that I'm down (I'm really down)
Don't you know that I'm down (I'm really down)
Down on the ground (I'm really down)
Don't you know that I'm down (I'm really down)
Down, down, down.
