the shady blades are alex on one guitar, steve on the other, ruben plays bass, johnny bangs drums, and mike just sings come away i with my x-ray eyes can see through your disguise from miles away i get this feeling my senses reeling whenever you're around i saw you standing there i’ll take you anywhere you want to be i'm dreaming of you tonight there's nothing i can do i can't get it through to you there's only one thing left for me to say come away i need you right here to stay don't you ever fade away sick puppy sometimes i wonder what is wrong with me i had something there and i set it free i cant seem to grasp the feeling once had it slipped away from me i'm so scared will i ever see yet i keep on running away I think of things you used to say away this time when i was a little boy i always dreamed of what i’d be when i grew up irresponsibility it always seems to follow me will ever learn it will all be mine falling down by the fireside they're wasting away they’re living very boring lives hey you the lonely one you need someone to talk to so maybe I should let it slide i’ve been waiting for so long l need you now to rescue me save me i’m falling i’m down again you're bringing me down if we could be together once again so now you re bathing in blue light waiting for fire to ignite you say i'm the chosen one but you need me to play dirty so why don’t i just come inside summer's eve summer's eve approaches here i go again i know there's something missing no i can’t pretend didn’t want to see your face I didn’t want to be in this place i'm by myself i’m beside myself if you see me I don’t care I won’t call you i won’t dare you see me walking by don’t stare cause i’ll come undone i walk the sands among you the waves came crashing in i’m drifting through the water i’m ready to begin trust she never hears me calling doesn’t matter if i’m crawling on my knees to keep from falling gotta break this brick wall down in front of me just to make her see how stupid i’ve been playing she can’t hear these words i’m saying anyway got to find a way someday she’ll know just what it takes and maybe than she’ll know that trust is never just enough it's getting harder to explain she wont ever know will she ever show she doesn’t want to show me she doesn't even know me i wipe my eyes from crying can’t stand to hear her lying anymore what's it all for why can’t she ever listen don’t know what she's been missing what can I do to get over you razor me out i’ll tell you something that you won’t understand but you must hear the words I say I close my eyes but it remains the same to me don’t turn around don’t look back just fade away tonight come what may you told me something i didn't quite understand i misheard the words you said i’m mesmerized by the things that you've done to me razor me out tonight. recorded november 1992 at elephant tracks studio produced, mixed, and engineered by the shady blades and joe - layout and design by ron photo by rob homer gabriel management - special thanks 2 the big man upstairs, all our families, homer, rocky, george, harold, joseph, bear (r.i.p.), bill, eric's, mando's, and cj’s folks, rikko, eddie, cj and the crew, charlie, simon (r.i.p.), john, chris and joe, pat, debbie, ruben, sun-day, all the bands we've played with, all the places we've played at, all our supporters, and you for buying this tape - for info: [old contact info redacted] all songs written and performed by the shady blades - unauthorized reproduction is punishable by federal law -
