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
