10538 OVERTURE

(J.Lynne)

Did you see your friend, crying from his eyes today?
Did you see him run through the streets and far way?

Did you see him run? Did you see him fall?
Did his life flash by on the bedroom door?

Did you hear the news came across the air today?
Someone has been found on the rocks down in the bay.

Did you see him hide? Did you see him crawl?
Does his life mean more than it did before.

Did you see that man running through the streets today?
Did you catch his face, was it 10538?

LOOK AT ME NOW

(R. Wood)

Someone is waiting, lurking in the trees,
The spirit of her is walking back to me.

Chorus:
Ah, look at me now, feeling emotion
Ah, look at me now.
The King of the castle brought her to her knees,
Gave the Salvation Army girl a squeeze.

(chorus)

Now she's a sallow face, scattering her lace,

On dewy ground,
Ah, I keep searching my head - now it's spinning around.

Lifting her head the countenance redeemed

Re-acted the murder by the sliver stream

Ah,look at me now, displaying emotion.

Ah, look at me now.

Look at me now, so cold and yet so brave.

Weave me some wings, to take me to her grave.

(chorus)

Ah, look at me now, look at me now.

NELLIE TAKES HER BOW

(J.Lynne)

Who thanked the Lord,
For the clothes that she wore and mended?

Nellie.
With the big old-fashioned eyes.

Who won the heart of a crowd tore apart,
Took a bow, Nellie,
There's a different world backstage.

I see the flood lights burning,
I hear the band play on,
Now Nellie takes her bow

She saw she really could not stay, Nellie
She had a brand new play to play.

And so she paints her face and smiles,
And she'll be someone else in a while.

just a lonely girl,
Who could not face a broken world.

And so she acts on all her dreams,
And wishes that's how it had been.

But when the audience is near,
It seems as though she doesn't even care.

Ah, Nellie just sent me a line,
To tell me she was doing fine.

She got the lead on Broadway,
And now they're digging her today.

And so she turns another page,
Living someone's life upon the stage.

BATTLE OF MARSTON MOOR

(R. Wood)

My Lord King:

You stoop to betray your own people

And even in the eyes of God do you not relent

I am therefore bound by no other course,
I shall raise an army

Together we will march against you and your kind

And every born man will fight
To regain his own freedom

And cleanse his retched soul

Arise! Arise!

FIRST MOVEMENT

Mr. RADIO

(J.Lynne)

Hello Mr. Radio, your friendly station,
So glad I am your company, your morning music

My wife she ran away, she left our home.
And though you're here with me, I'm on my own.

Hello Mr. Radio, You friendly speaker,
You played my request today, request to see her.

Your voice comes riding home, across the air,
You travel 'round the world, but still you're here.

I heard on the news today, the world is (no) good,
But if she returned today, mine could be so good.

I look into the sky, your waves rush by,
The weather man has lied, it makes me cry.

Hello Mr. Radio, do I disturb you?
Sometimes, I forget my place, I seem to know you.

I miss you when you close, you'll never know,
And when your programmess go, I'm om my own.

MANHATTAN RUMBLE

(J.Lynne)

Instrumental

QUEEN OF THE HOURS

(J.Lynne)

Queen of the hours, lies
Waiting for the wind,
To blow away the veil of time
Slowly now the threads of age

Are starting to unwind

Queen of the hours,
Along, along, along the path of time, of time
She is still, the clock shall tell,
The tale when all is well, is well

Black was the night that
Came in from the east
And caused the land to sleep
Riding on a storm it carved
A message in the Isabella Creek.

Queen of the hours

Dawn is the death wish
Night has passed away
It left a sacred flower
Open up the grave and bowed it's life
Unto the Queen of the hours.

Queen of the hours

WHISPER IN THE NIGHT

(R. Wood)

Whisper in the night
Over silent evening air
Angels gown shines white
All at once you're glad she's there.

Daughter of your dream
Shine a guiding light for me
For I'll be here till light
Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me.

Night turns into gold
So the tide may turn today
Though God gave the world
It's not mine to throw away.

Daughter of your dream

Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me.

Help me to face
What the day may bring (Angels sing)
You were sent to make the night be kind
What will I find? (Angels sing).

Snowflake bird she comes
Taking grey clouds from your door
Face the midnight sun
You'll have something to live for.

Daughter of your dream

Whisper in the night
