@shimmerfly Riders On The Storm = The ultimate Doors song

For those of you too young to have any idea who The Doors are, or have never heard this song...

Riders On The Storm
John Densmore, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger, James Morrison
1971

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out alone
Riders on the storm

There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If you give this man a ride
Sweet memory will die
Killer on the road, yeah

Girl ya gotta love your man
Girl ya gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah

Yeah!

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out alone
Riders on the storm

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm

Bright lights and blurry vision
Bad guys and superstition
rough rides and bad times
hold on tight...
it's a wild ride

A Poem
A poem is indignant
it doesn't need rage
A poem is kind
it doesn't need age
A poem is feeling
it doesn't have to be blue
A poem is a story
A story from YOU

A Flock of Seagulls ( Paul Reynolds, Frank Maudsley, Mike Score ) 1982

I Ran ( So Far Away )


I walked along the avenue.
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you;
Meet a girl like you.
With auburn hair and tawny eyes;
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through;
Hypnotize me through.

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldn't get away.


A cloud appears above your head;
A beam of light comes shining down on you,
Shining down on you.
The cloud is moving nearer still.
Aurora borealis comes in view;
Aurora comes in view.

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldn't get away.


Reached out a hand to touch your face;
You're slowly disappearing from my view;
Disappearing from my view.
Reached out a hand to try again;
I'm floating in a beam of light with you;
A beam of light with you.

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldn't get away

Let me touch
your furrowed brow,
etched deep the painful trace.
Apply the balm of peacefulness
raw memories erase.

Let me warm
the chill felt now
within your troubled soul.
With soft caress and lover's kiss,
retrieve the fire she stole.

Let me mesh
my heart with yours,
unearthing treasures rare.
Release the turmoil deep within,
and let me linger there.
