Another DayJohn Petrucci

Live another dayClimb a little higherFind another reason to stayAshes in your handsMercy in your eyesIf you're searching for a silent sky...

You won't find it hereLook another wayYou won't find it hereSo die another day

The coldness of his wordsThe message in his silence,'Face the candle to the wind...'This distance in my voiceIsn't leaving you a choiceSo if you're looking for a time to run away...

You won't find it hereLook another wayYou won't find it hereSo try another day

They took pictures of our dreamsRan to hide behind the stairsAnd said maybe when it's right for you, they'll fallBut if they don't come downResist the need to pull them inAnd throw them awayBetter to save the mysteryThan surrender to the secret

You won't find it hereLook another wayYou won't find it hereSo try another day

Ashes by now

This mornin is Monday

Where are you now?Teasin my memoryTellin me howTo lay low when I don't want toYour love is elusiveThis I know nowIt's makin me crazyLeavin me out in the openWhen I don't want to

Baby, I can't go through this againI don't need to go down more than I've already beenJust like a wildfire, you're runnin all over townAs much as you've burned me baby, I should be ashes by now

The moments of pleasureNever do lastThey're gone like a suitcaseFull of your pastLong goneAnd in a hurry

You're runnin all over townAs much as you burned me baby, I should be ashes by now

Just like a wildfire, you're runnin all over townAs much as you've burned me baby, I should be ashes by nowAs much as you've burned me baby, I should be ashes by now

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ashes by now)(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ashes by now)As much as you've burned me baby, I should be ashes by now

Happy Birthday

[Verse 1]Please accept my apologies, wonder what would have beenwould you have been a little angel? or an angel of sin?tom-boy running around, hanging with all the guys?or a little tough boy with beautiful brown eyes?paid for the murder befor they had determined the sexchoosing our life over your life meant your deathand you never got a chance to even open your eyessometimes I wonder as a fetus if you fought for your life?Would you have been a little genius, in love with math?Would you have played in your school clothes and made me mad?would you have been a little rapper like your poppa the piper?would you have made me quit smoking by finding one of my lighters?I wonder about your skintone and shape of your noseand the way you would have laughed and talked fast or slowI think about it every year, so I picked up a pen

Happy birthday, I love you whoever you would have been

[Chorus x 2]Happy birthdayWhat I thought was a dreammake a wishwas as real as it seemed

I made a mistake

[Verse 2]I got a million excuses, as to why you diedand other people got their own reasons for homocidewho's to say it would have workedand who's to say it wouldn't haveI was young and struggling, but old enough to be a dadthe fear of being my father has never disappearedI ponder it frequently while I'm sipping on my beermy vision of a family was artificial and fakeso when it came time to create I made a mistakenow you got a little brother, maybe it's really youmaybe you really forgave us knowing we was confusedmaybe, every time that he smilesit's you proudly knowing that your father is doing the right thing nowI never tell a woman what to do with her bodybut if she don't love children then we can't partyI think about it every year so I picked up a penHappy birthday, I love you whoever you would have been

[Chorus x 2]Happy birthdayWhat I thought was a dreammake a wishwas as real as it seemed

I made a mistake

[repeat x2]from the heavens to the wombto the heavens againfrom the ending to the endingnever got to beginmaybe one day we can meet face to facein a place without time and spacehappy birthday

[Chorus x 2]Happy birthdayWhat I thought was a dreammake a wishwas as real as it seemed

I made a mistake

La Isla Bonita

(Spoken:)Como puede ser verdad

Last night I dreamt of San PedroJust like I'd never gone, I knew the songA young girl with eyes like the desertIt all seems like yesterday, not far away

Chorus:Tropical the island breezeAll of nature wild and freeThis is where I long to beLa isla bonitaAnd when the samba playedThe sun would set so highRing through my ears and sting my eyesYour Spanish lullaby

I fell in love with San PedroWarm wind carried on the sea, he called to mete dijo te amo

I prayed that the days would lastThey went so fast

(chorus)

I want to be where the sun warms the skyWhen it's time for siesta you can watch them go byBeautiful faces, no cares in this worldWhere a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves a girl

Last night I dreamt of San PedroIt all seems like yesterday, not far away

(chorus two times)

lalalalalalaaa

te dijo te amo

lalalalalalaaa

(Spoken:)el dijo que te ama

Once Upon A Time In The West

Some people get a cheap laugh breaking up the speed limitScaring the pedestrians for minuteCrossing up progress driving on the grassLeaving just enough room to passSunday driver never took a testOh yeah, once upon a time in the west

Yes it's no use saying that you don't know nothingIt's still gonna get you if you don't do somethingSitting on a fence that's a dangerous courseAh, you could even catch a bullet from the peace-keeping forceEven the hero gets a bullet in the chestOh yeah, once upon a time in the west

Mother Mary your children are slaughteredSome of you mothers ought to lock up your daughterWho's protecting the innocentiHeap big trouble in the land of plentyTell me how we're gonna do what's bestYou guess once upon a time in the west

Oh yeah once upon a time in the westOh yeah once upon a time in the westOh yeah once upon a time in the west

Once upon a time in the west

Sailing to Philadelphia by Mark Knopfler

I am Jeremiah DixonI am a Geordie boyA glass of wine with you, sirAnd the ladies I'll enjoyAll Durham and NorthumberlandIs measured up by my own handIt was my fate from birthTo make my mark upon the earth...

He calls me Charlie MasonA stargazer am IIt seems that I was bornTo chart the evening skyThey'd cut me out for baking breadBut I had other dreams insteadThis baker's boy from the west countryWould join the Royal Society...

We are sailing to PhiladelphiaA world away from the coaly TyneSailing to PhiladelphiaTo draw the lineThe Mason-Dixon line

Now you're a good surveyor, DixonBut I swear you'll make me madThe West will kill us bothYou gullible Geordie ladYou talk of libertyHow can America be freeA Geordie and a baker's boyIn the forest of the Iroquois...

Now hold your head up, Mason

See America lies thereThe morning tide has raisedThe capes of DelawareCome up and feel the sunA new morning is begunAnother day will make it clearWhy your stars should guide us here...

We are sailing to PhiladelphiaA world away from the coaly TyneSailing to PhiladelphiaTo draw the lineThe Mason-Dixon line

Strange Foreign Beauty

Strange foreign beautyI'll never know what's in your heartDoes anyone know how it feels to hold youdoes anyone know the secret of your mind

Strange foreign beautyI'll never come to share your worldDoes anyone know how it feels to live with youdoes anyone know the secret of your life

Strange foreign beautyYou'll never know what I felt for youSometimes it feels like a million chancesare slipping away disappearing in the air

Post chorus:(You'll) never know what I felt for youyou were always on my mind(I'll) never know how it feels to hold youhow it feels to be with you

You're beautiful

My life is brilliant

*Musical Pause*

My life is brilliant.My love is pure.I saw an angel.Of that I'm sure.She smiled at me on the subway.She was with another man.But I won't lose no sleep on that,'Cause I've got a plan.

(Chorus):You're beautiful. You're beautiful.You're beautiful, it's true.I saw your face in a crowded place,And I don't know what to do,'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yes, she caught my eye,As I walked on by.She could see from my face that I was,Flying high,And I don't think that I'll see her again,But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

(Chorus):You're beautiful. You're beautiful.You're beautiful it's trueI saw your face in a crowded place,And I don't know what to do,'Cause I'll never be with you.

(La-la-la-la, La-la-la-la, La-la-la-la, Laaah)

(Chorus):You're beautiful. You're beautiful.You're beautiful, it's true.There must be an angel, with a smile on her face,

When she thought that I should be with you.

But it's time to face the truth,I will never be with you.
