I've seen the rain pouring down
The sky was grey with a speck of blue
Peek through a hole in the clouds
The sun was screaming, "Hey You!"
As you ramble through your sorrow
Seems like everything come out wrong
I'm living in yesterday's tomorrows
I know something's helping me along
I'll take a melody and see what I can do about it
I'll take a simple C and G and feel brand new about it
I understand why the old fisherman
Sail along, sail
along, sail along
Sail along, sail along
Someday he'll be gone
I hear you talking about your troubles
Everybody's got their troubles too
You can make them burst like bubbles
If you know just what to do
You know I've been called a dreamer
Dreams that never come true
But I've been called so many things before
Tell you what I'm gonna do
I'll take a melody and see what I can do about it
I'll take a simple C and G and feel brand now about it
I understand why the old fisherman
Sail along, sail along, sail along
Sail along, sail along
Someday he'll be gone
I'll take a melody and see what I can do about it
I'll take a simple C and G and feel brand now about it
Shine on, keep on shining, shine on
Keep on shining, shine on, keep on shining
Shine on, keep on shining, shine on
Keep on shining, shine on, keep on shining
Shine on, keep on shining, shine on
Keep on shining, shine on, keep
on shining
Shine on, keep on shining, shine on
Keep on shining, shine on, keep on shining
I've seen the rain pouring down
The sky was grey with a speck of blue
Peek through a hole in the clouds
The sun was screaming, "hey you"
As you ramble through your sorrow
Seem like everything come out wrong
I'm living in yesterday's tomorrows
I know something's helping me along
Chorus
I'll take a melody and see
What I can do about it
I'll take a simple C to G
(note 1)
And feel brand new about it
I understand why the old fisherman
Sail alone, sail alone, sail alone
(Sail alone, sail alone)
Someday he'll be gone
I hear you talking 'bout your troubles
Everybody's got their troubles too
You can make them burst like bubbles
If you know just what to do
You know I've been called a dreamer
Dreams that never
will come true
But I've been called so many things before
Tell you what I'm gonna do
[chorus]
I understand why the old fisherman
Sail alone, sail alone, sail alone
(Sail alone, sail alone)
Someday he'll be gone
[chorus]
Shine on, keep on shining
Shine on, keep on shining
Shine on, keep on shining
Shine on, keep on shining
Shine on, keep on shining
Shine on, keep on shining
[etc]

[Geoff Tate // Lead & Backing Vocals] [Jeff Carrell // Electric Guitar & Backing Vocals] [Howard Chillcott // Synths & Steinway Piano] [Evan Schiller // Acoustic Drums, Loops, Backing Vocals] [Chris Fox // Electric Bass] Her heart is like a fortress. She clings to her silence like a lover. She wishes you were cold and heartless So she wouldn't... Wouldn't have to... feel. Oh and when she lifts her head, And your eyes meet, She walks to your effortless, With suffocating grace. And you're caught up in the moment And someone speaks, And whisks it all away. But this moment never ends, It goes on and on inside my head. And this moment never ends. This moment never ends. I've loved her forever, and in my dreams, When the evening meets morning, We're riding bareback moonbeams. She belongs to different spaces. She belongs to different times. And this moment never ends, It goes on and on inside my head. And this moment never ends, This moment never ends. At these moments it was clear, It's taken all my life... to get here. Se waits for me at The door way while I draw her pictures Of my perfect world ... And this moment never ends It goes on and on inside my head. And this moment never ends, This moment never ends.The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
