My Love (Burning Love)
Words and Music by
Robin Trower and James Dewar
So you're feeling down, down
Baby, I can sympathize
Double dealing
He's been running around
I can see it deep in your eyes
There's no melody,
To his song
His words don't even rhyme
But my love
Is a burning love
And it's yours 'till the end of time
My love, my love
Yours 'till the end of time
My love, burning love
Burns 'till I make you mine
Baby, could we start all over
Would it still have to end the same
Would you run to him
With your arms open wide
The first time he calls your name
I couldn't take it baby, 'cause
My love, my love
Yours 'till the end of time
My love, burning love
Burns 'till I make you mine
My love, my love
Yours 'till the end of time
My love, burning love
Burns 'till I make you mine
My love, my love
Yours 'till the end of time
My love, burning love
Burns 'till I make you mine
My love, my love
Yours 'till the end of time
My love, burning love
Burns 'till I make you mine
Sail On
Words and Music by
Robin Trower and James Dewar
Moonlight and the night is still, before the dawn
The wind cries, it is time for you to be moving on
Some day you will make your way down to the shore
High tide and the sailor longs for the sea once more
Sail on down the days, time and tide stand still
Sail on, sail away, following the wind
Sail on down the days, time and tide stand still
Sail on, sail away, following the wind
King Of The Dance
Words and Music by
Robin Trower and James Dewar
I was raised in the ghetto
And the floor was my bed
The rhythm of the streets
Was my daily bread
It's a restless situation
And each day's a game of chance
'Cause when you dance in the streets
For a nickel or a dime
You learn how to move, babe
You learn how to shine
And if you shine like a star
They'll call you king of the dance
So come on, come on get up on the floor
Come on, come on dance me some more
Come on take a chance
Be the king of the dance
I'm gonna dance for the world
I ain't never gonna stop
It's a long way down
When you're looking from the top
And if you shine like a star
They'll call you king of the dance
So come on, come on get up on the floor
Come on, come on dance me some more
Come on take a chance, baby
Be the king of the dance
Come on, come on, get up on the floor
Come on, come on dance me some more
Come on take a chance, yeah
Be the king of the dance, yeah
I was raised in the ghetto
And the floor was my bed
The rhythm of the streets
Was my daily bread
It's a restless situation
Every day's a game of chance
Come on, come on get up on the floor
Come on, come on dance me some more
Come on take a chance, yes
Be the king of the dance
Yeah come on, come on, get up on the floor
Come on, come on dance me some more
Come on take a chance
Be the king of the dance, yes, yes
Come on, come on now get up on the floor
Come on, come on and dance me some more
Come on take a chance
Be the king of the dance
It's For You
Words and Music by
Robin Trower and James Dewar
When you are down
And the whole world seems to wear a frown
Open up your eyes
And pretty soon you'll realize it's for you and I
And the birds in the trees
Sing a song to the breeze
And the song says my love
It's for you
Baby it's for you
When you are lonely
And you need someone who can make you smile
Even if it's only
To light up you life for a little while
Make a wish on a star
And I'll be where you are
And you'll know that my love
Is for you
Honey it's for you
Make a wish on a star
And I'll be where you are
And you'll know that my love
Is for you
Honey it's for you
Make a wish on a star
And I'll be where you are
And you'll know that my love
Is for you
Baby it's for you
Wish, wish on a star
Honey, wish, wish on a star
Wish, wish on a star
And I'll be, I'll be where you are
Honey, honey wish, wish on a star
Wish, wish on a star
Honey, wish, wish on a star
And I'll be wherever you are
Fool
Words and Music by
Robin Trower and James Dewar
Now other arms will hold her that could have been mine
I should have been bolder, I've wasted my time
Down deep in my hear I know I was too cool
Now I must play out the part of, the part of a fool
Fool, sad and lonely fool
All of my days are friendless, my nights are so cold
Damned to a search that is endless, I'm chasin' fools' gold
You, you could have told me baby, if I was too cool
Now I must play out the part of, the part of a fool
Fool, sad and lonely fool
Fool
Down, down deep in my heart I know I was too cool
Now I must play out the part of, the part of a fool
Fool, sad and lonely, fool
Sad and lonely fool
Sad and lonely fool
Fool, fool ,fool, fool I'm lonely
Sad and lonely fool
I'm lonely, yeah
Sad and lonely fool
Fool, fool
Nothing but a fool
Sad and lonely fool (etc.)
Birthday Boy
Words and Music by
Robin Trower and James Dewar
Down at the bottom of the stairs sits the birthday boy
Reading letters in between the lines
Ready for a little trip to the seaside
Hoping he can make it there on time
Sitting in the station watching choo choo trains
With wheels to take him clicking down the line
The sky is getting darker, but if it rains
It's nicer when the sun comes out to shine
He's had a busy day, tomorrow's on it's way
Time to leave the sea, and hurry home for
Tea is waiting on the table for the birthday boy
Grandfather's clock is ticking in the hall
Sitting by the fire, now the birthday boy
Is feeling very sleepy, very small
He's had a busy day, tomorrow's on it's way
Time to leave the sea, time to leave the sea
He's had a busy day, tomorrow's on it's way
Time to leave the sea, time to leave the sea
Time to leave the sea, time to leave the sea
Time to leave the sea, time to leave the sea
Time to leave the sea, time to leave the sea
I'm Out To Get You
Words and Music by
Robin Trower and James Dewar
I'm out to get you,
Create a disturbance in your mind
I've been sent to select you,
From another place in time
It's gonna be something new,
And you better not hesitate
For the first time in your life,
You can celebrate
Close your eyes, count to ten
Make a wish and we'll be there
Turn around, and maybe then
Your whole life can start again
So the world keeps on turning,
Through the years that lie ahead
From it's pages we're learning.
From it's wisdom we are led
It's gonna be something good,
And you should understand
So it was, and so it is,
Since time began
Close your eyes, count to ten
Make a wish, and we'll be there
Turn around, and maybe then
Your whole life can start again
Lost In Love
Words and Music by
Robin Trower and James Dewar
Far away,
Out where the mountains kiss the sky
Lost in love,
And days and nights go drifting by
Beyond the clouds, or so it seems
There's a wondrous place for you and I
The lost horizon of our dreams
Where we could watch the world go by
Come with me,
A flower blossoms in her way
Lost in love,
She is the song of life I heard her say
Beyond the clouds, or so it seems
There's a wondrous place for you and I
The lost horizon of our dreams
Where we could watch the world go by
Beyond the clouds, or so it seems
There's a wondrous place for you and I
The lost horizon of our dreams
Where we could watch the world go by
Lost in love
Lost in love
Lost in love
Lost in love
