Lyrics for singles by Henry Paul Band
So Long
Grey Ghost
Foolin'
Crossfire
Longshot
Turn It Up
Storm is overcome with rage
I slowly turn another page
Deeper into love I seem to go
Stories filled with scattered lies
Broken hearts and paradise
For the ending no one seems to know
That it's been so long since I've held you close enough to me
That I feel I've finally come to lose my heart
And the nights are so long without you that I find it hard to see
Through the tears we've cried long enough to find us here apart
Then that darkened sky reveals
The way the sunlight really feels
Burning through the longest afternoon
Slowly passing, time demands
All it seems that I can stand
Silver wings can't get me there too soon
As the autumn wind whispers through the tall and lonely pines
And the hour of fate is drawing close at hand
Freebird falling from the sky
Brings a bitter end to another southern man
But there's a grey ghost runnin' through the night
An echo of the sadness and the pain
Grey ghost runnin' through the night
The man is gone but his spirit will remain
Fast like them, the music is just a grim disguise
For the heartache and the fear of growin' old
Without the one that means the most it makes you realise
That you're the one that's left out in the cold
There's a grey ghost runnin' through the night
An echo of the sadness and the pain
Grey ghost runnin' through the night
The man is gone but his spirit will remain
The dealer of death has dealt the losing hand
And it's a cold fact: the cards don't ever lie
Through the fire dream of things to come it's such a price to pay
When the memories are all that's left behind
She's gone and you're alone
With a heartache of your own
I wouldn't say she tried to do
Things I know you wanted her to do
Just for you
'Cause all of the angels in hell couldn't stop her runnin'
And lookin' back you can see she was foolin' you
Foolin' you
The highway in her soul
She was born to rock and roll
Makes her glide through the night
Run away til the morning light
It's alright
[chorus]
High above the others
She's the one that shines
Her heart belongs to no one
She never will be mine
I feel like I'm in the middle of a four lane highway
Things are moving so fast on both sides of me
Right now I've got the feeling I don't want to see, yeah
What might become of me
So I duck and hide, hoping that they'll fade away
I am standing in a crossfire
Torn down to the ground with my heart and my soul
I am standing in a crossfire
Oh well now my mind is a madman
As my heart is torn down to the wire
I remember all the things we said
How we came so close
I just wanna live it again
Standing in a crossfire
Never cried so many tears in my life
Throw it all away, baby
Said I should know by now
It's not in what you say
Standing in a crossfire
I got to find another way to run
You can take everything but my desire
'Cause I am standing in a crossfire
Wasted by the crossfire
Wasted by the crossfire
Crossfire
Crossfire
I like to stay out late
I never compromise
There's always some excuse
For livin' like I do
I'm a midnight man
I'm just a full blown fool
But in the morning
I come home to you
Girl, you always understand
You understand this kind of man
You know just what I am
People tell me, I'm a longshot
They tell me, I'm a hotshot
And it's a longshot
I'm ever gonna change
I love to run around
I never fall in love
It's just a waste of time
I love a winnin' hand
Ain't just got no chance
Without lookin' back
I take my chances
I play the cards
Where they may land
Girl, you always understand
You understand this kind of man
You know just what I am
People tell me, I'm a longshot
I say for certain, I'm a hotshot
And it's a longshot
I'm ever gonna change
I like to stay out late
I never compromise
There's always some excuse
For livin' like I do
I'm a midnight man
I'm just a full blown fool
But in the morning
I come back to you
Girl, you always understand
You understand this kind of man
You know just what I am
People tell me, I'm a longshot
They tell me, I'm a hotshot
And it's a longshot
I'm ever gonna change
Long shot
I know for certain
I'm a hotshot (yeah)
It's a longshot
I'm ever gonna change
Cruisin' down the boulevard
On a saturday night
Long Tall Sally
Up head on the right
I roll down the window
And I give her a shout
Good God Almighty, boy
She knocked me right out
I said, "Sally you want
To go for a spin?"
She said, "Hell ya!"
And she hopped right in
We really got nowhere to go
Turn up the radio
Turn it up, just a little bit louder
We're gonna play it all night long
Turn it up, just a little bit louder
Turn it up, turn it up
The rock and roll is comin' on strong
She slid on over
As I hit third gear
I heard her whisper
Something in my ear
She said, "It's gonna be alright
Besides I want to do it all night
Come on baby, let's do it again."
The motor's runnin' at a hundred and ten
I kept on hearin' her say
"Rock and roll the night away."
