The River of Dreams / Keeping the Faith / Only the Good Die Young (Medley) - Michael Cavanaugh

The demon in your mind will rape you in your bed at night The wisdom of ages, the lies and outrages concealed Time, it waits for no man, my future it is revealed Time, it waits for no man, my fate is sealed If I cancel tomorrow the undead will thank me today Fly in the face of your prophets, I mock your morality plays The moon is red and bleeding, the sun is burned and black The book of life is silent, no turning back Only the good die young All the evil seem to live forever Only the good die young All the evil seem to live forever Only the good die young Only the good die young Mystery madman, a victim of cruel charade Some innocent pawn in an end game, one more stalemate Is death another birthday, a way to kiss your dreams good-bye? Do the undead live within us and look through our eyes? Walking on water are miracles all you can trust Measure your coffin, does it measure up to your lust? So I think I'll leave you with your bishops and your guilt So until the next time, have a good sin Only the good die young All the evil seem to live forever Only the good die young All the evil seem to live forever Only the good die young Only the good die young Seven deadly sins Seven ways to win Seven holy paths to Hell Seven downward slopes Seven bloodied hopes Seven are your burning fires Seven your desires

A hand above the water, An angel reaching for the sky, Is it raining in heaven? Do you want us to cry? And everywhere the brokenhearted, On every lonely avenue, No one could reach them, No one but you, One by one, only the good die young, They're only flying too close to the sun, And life goes on without you. Another tricky situation, I get to drowning in the blues, And I find myself thinking, Well, what would you do? Yes, it was such an operation, Forever paying every due, Hell, you made a sensation! You found a way through. One by one, only the good die young. They're only flying too close to the sun, And we'll remember, forever. And now the party must be over, I guess we'll never understand, The sense of your leaving, Or was it the way it was planned? And so we grace another table, And raise our glasses one more time, There's a face at the window and I aint ever, ever saying goodbye. And one by one, only the good die young, They're only flying too close to the sun, Crying for nothing, Crying for no-one, No-one but you.

You wake up Watch the world go 'round You shiver Feeling upside down Your heart is beating fast Pumping blood to your head Another day to fight You have a prayer on your lips under the desert sun And a loaded gun You remember That your father said Stay out of trouble son And be true to yourself You'll be working like a dog Raise a family And life will be alright But now it's written in the stars if you'll make it out alive Out alive The good die young There might be no tomorrow In god we trust Through all this pain and sorrow The good die young The flame will burn forever And no one knows your name Bring the boys back home again It was a quiet day On the streets of hope When the bomb went off At the side of the road Sounds of breaking steel An windshield full of blood No enemy in sight It feels like in a movie scenes are passing by It's your life The good die young There might be no tomorrow In god we trust Through all this pain and sorrow The good die young The flame will burn forever And no one knows your name Bring the boys back home again You remember every word That your father said Stay out of trouble son And be true to yourself Get a prayer on your lips under the desert sun And a loaded gun

This is called Summer, Highland Falls They say that these are not the best of times But they're the only times I've ever known And I believe there is a time for meditation in cathedrals of our own Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lover's eyes I can only stand apart and sympathize For we are always what our situations hand us It's either sadness or euphoria So we'll argue and we'll compromise And realize that nothing's ever changed For all our mutual experience, our separate conclusions are the same Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity Our reason coexists with our insanity And though we choose between reality and madness It's either sadness or euphoria How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies Perhaps we don't fulfill each other's fantasies So we stand upon the ledges of our lives With our respective similarities It's either sadness or euphoria Oh, oh-oh Oh-woah-woah

She's got a way about her I don't know what it is But I know that I can't live without her She's got a way of pleasin' Mmm, I don't know why it is But there doesn't have to be a reason anyway She's got a smile that heals me Mmm, I don't know why it is But I have to laugh when she reveals me She's got a way of talkin' Mmm, I don't know why it is But it lifts me up when we are walkin' anywhere She comes to me when I'm feelin' down, inspires me Without a sound she touches me And I get turned around She's got a way of showin' Mmm, how I make her feel And I find the strength to keep on goin' She's got a light around her Woah, and everywhere she goes A million dreams of love surround her everywhere She comes to me when I'm feelin' down, inspires me Without a sound she touches me I get turned around Oh-oh-woah, woah She's got a smile that heals me Mmm, I don't know why it is But I have to laugh when she reveals me She's got a way about her Mmm, I don't know what it is But I know that I can't live without her anyway, hey

A bottle of white, a bottle of red Perhaps a bottle of rose instead We'll get a table near the street In our old familiar place You and I - face to face A bottle of red, a bottle of white It all depends on your appetite I'll meet you any time you want In our italian restaurant. Things are okay with me these days Got a good job, got a good office Got a new wife, got a new life And the family's fine We lost touch long ago You lost weight I did not know You could ever look so good after so much time. I remember those days hanging out at the village green Engineer boots, leather jackets and tight blue jeans Drop a dime in the box play the song about new orleans Cold beer, hot lights My sweet romantic teenage nights Brenda and eddie were the popular steadies And the king and the queen of the prom Riding around with the car top down and the radio on Nobody looked any finer Or was more of a hit at the parkway diner We never knew we could want more than that out of life Surely brenda and eddie would always know how to survive. Brenda and eddy were still going steady in the summer of '75 When they decided the marriage would be at the end of july Everyone said they were crazy Brenda you know you're much too lazy Eddie could never afford to live that kind of life. But there we were wavin' brenda and eddie goodbye. They got an apartment with deep pile carpet And a couple of paintings from sears A big waterbed that they bought with the bread They had saved for a couple of years They started to fight when the money got tight And they just didn't count on the tears. They lived for a while in a very nice style But it's always the same in the end They got a divorce as a matter of course And they parted the closest of friends Then the king and the queen went back to the green But you can never go back there again. Brenda and eddie had had it already by the summer of '75 From the high to the low to the end of the show For the rest of their lives They couldn't go back to the greasers The best they could do was pick up the pieces We always knew they would both find a way to get by That's all I heard about brenda and eddie Can't tell you more than I told you already And here we are wavin' brenda and eddie goodbye. A bottle of red, a bottle of white Whatever kind of mood you're in tonight I'll meet you anytime you want In our italian restaurant.
