Jimmy found his own sweet sound when he won that free guitar And we'd all get in the van and play Life became the Paradox, the Bell, the Rouge et noir On the stretch of road running to LA Pages turning, pages we were years from learning Straight into the night our hearts were flung

All the world was shining from those hills With the stars above and the lights below Among those there to test their fortune and their will I lost track of the score long ago Pages turning, pages we were years from learning Straight into the night our hearts were flung Better bring your own redemption when you come To the barricades of heaven where I'm from

Childhood comes for me at night The voices of my friends Your face bathing me in light I hope that never ends

G

Say it again, Amen I want to know what became of the changes we waited for love to bring Were they only the fitful dreams of some greater awakening I've been aware of the time going by They say in the end it's the wink of an eye And when the morning light comes streaming in I'll get up and do it again, Amen Say it again, Amen

Caught between the longing for love

And the struggle for the legal tender

Fast asleep at the traffic light

Ah the lovers as they run through the night

Leaving nothing but to choose off and fight

And tear at the world with all their might

While the ships bearing their dreams

G

D

Sail out of sight I'm gonna find myself a girl who can show me what laughter means Then we'll fill in the missing colors in each other's paint-by-number dreams And then we'll put our dark glasses on And we'll make love until our strength is gone And when the morning light comes streaming in We'll get up and do it again, Amen Get it up again, Amen I'm gonna be a happy idiot And struggle for the legal tender Where the ads take aim, and lay their claim To the heart and the soul of the spender And believe in whatever may lie In those things that money can buy Though true love could have been a contender
