3:   ...To The Power Of Three

Talkin 'Bout

Tell me what can I do
I sit here wondering if the things you say are true
But oh, so many times
I believed in something that just melted into lies

But oh, is it just a dream or is it so
You're pretending not to see
You're pretending not to see
I'm talking 'bout you
I'm talking 'bout me
And everything that we could do
And everything that we could be

Tell me why you don't show
When I look into your eyes the both of us should know
But I, I just don't know
Am I right in holding on or should I just let go

But oh, is it just a dream or is it so
You're pretending not to see

Chorus

Lover To Lover

Tell me is there something that I should know
Are we wasting time, have nowhere to go
Why do we say that everything's all right
We'll take the tears

Those wasted nights sit without a sound
Inside our world as it's breaking down
We lie there

Lover to Lover
Face to Face
Tearing apart
All that we made
Thinking each other's
The one to blame

Lover to lover
There's nothing to gain
Give me something back so we can hold on
And keep it together, we must stay strong
Did we let go as time moved on
Oh the same old line

The lights go out lying wide awake
The words don't come how much will it take
We lie there

Chorus

No one could take away that feeling
Lost in our world we found a dream worth building
And all of it felt so right
So much of life to live

Chorus

Chains

We shadow dance, you follow me
And that's the way it has to be
Cause even though we've got no strings
You are tied to me

You never tried to turn away
Unspoken touch to make you stay
And though it isn't written in stone
You belong to me

And when we get this close in the night
The circle closes in, up tight
And it's like we're in chains, chains
The kind that won't break

Invisible chains holding us together
Chains, chains there's nowhere to escape
I'm making you mine
I'm keeping you forever

Just like the wind you're free to go
Without your body or your soul
Oh you gave it to me long ago
You belong to me

And when we get this close in the night
The circle closes in, up tight
And it's like we're in chains, chains
The kind that won't break

Invisible chains holding us together
Chains, chains there's nowhere to escape
I'm making you mine
I'm keeping you forever

Chorus

Desde La Vida

(i) La Vista

Fortunes drifting across the sierra
Life, survived in visions of gold
Spanish galleons of old upon El Man
Dance of a distant land from afar
Con La Vista Desde la vida

Time to awaken daybreak begun
Feeling so strong here in the sun
The work has to be done, will be done
One thing that is believed we'll be one
But is there more Desde la vida

(ii) Frontera (Instrumental)

(iii) Sangre De Toro

Sangre de toro, drinking the wine
Beneath la montan the shadows of time
The work now is done, has been done
The struggle that still goes on will be won
Knowing there's more Desde la vida

Again we awaken there in the face of the sun
El tiempo es buena, the time is good
A new day is born into our hands
Together we fall, together we stand
Hoping there's more Desde la vida

Eight Miles High
(Clark/McGuinn/Crosby); Revised Lyrics (Emerson/Berry/Palmer)

Eight miles high
And when you touch down
No time can be stranger than now

Signs on the street
Where are we going
Out somewhere just to be alone

Nowhere near
What can be found
Among us we can't lose more ground

Time may tell
Long though it sounds
These places our faces abound

Out in the square
Lives covered in stone
Some laughing most won't take a stand

Sidewalks of dreams
As far as one sees
Some living some standing alone

Runaway

You're headed for a better life
Something you can feel deep inside
Somewhere where the lights are low
And there ain't nobody around to go
Saying things that just ain't true
Making such a fool out of you
They think they know just where you've been
And they make you feet like living is a sin
So you
Run run runaway
And tell me that there's no other way
Say that you'll be leaving soon
You say there's nothing else you can do
Oh can't you see I'm just a runaway too

But you keep on running

Been livin' in been livin' out
You want to know what life's all about
You're finding that it ain't as good
It don't do what they tell you it would
So now's the time to make it right

You'll walk on out when no one's in sight
I still think there's a better way
But you can't find a reason to stay
So you

You Do Or You Don't

Have we been pretending we live this street life
Once the tough ones thinking now we've grown
You say the feelings are changing now with every night
Don't know where a lonely rebel goes

On the other side you found something different
The other side of life you say you've never known

But either you do or you don't
Girl can't you tell me
Either you will or you won't
Gotta make up your mind
You either go or you stay
There ain't no pretending
We've gotta do it together and keep our love alive

Keep turning back the pages
Pictures of a time that kept us strong
Pieces of a life that we gave meaning
How can you wonder if those days are gone

On the other side you heard the minds rest easy
The other side of life you say you need to know

Chorus

Can you just give up what your heart still tells you
The very thing that kept our hopes alive

But the other side you say that we couId make it
The other side of life will keep us both alive

Chorus

On My Way Home

On my way home
Marching all night
Is the light still on
All through the battle
Been waiting

On my way home
So much of life left behind
So much ahead unknown

On my way home
Marching all night
Is the light still on
All through the battle
Been waiting

On my way home
So much of life left behind
So much ahead unknown

Chorus
