That's why I play the blues (Gary Moore)

THAT’S WHY I PLAY THE BLUES (Gary Moore)

Some people say
why do you play the blues?
Some even ask me
if I paid my dues.
Tell them it’s somethin’
to get me through
every time that I think of you.
That’s why,
that’s why I play the blues.

People wanna know
if the blues is here to stay.
Tell them I don’t know,
but that it’s with me every day.
Stops me from fallin’
down to the ground
every time you’re not around.
That’s why,
that’s why I play the blues.

I don’t know if it’s wrong or right,
but the blues is with me day and night.
Just don’t ask me about the way I feel,
all I know is that the blues is real.

Tell them it’s somethin’
to get me through
every time that I’m thinking of you.
That’s why,
that’s why I play the blues.

That’s why I play the blues.
That’s why I play the blues.
That’s why,
that’s why I play the blues.

Power of the blues (Gary Moore)

POWER OF THE BLUES (Gary Moore/Bob Daisley/Darrin Mooney)

Did you ever get the feelin’
everything was going wrong?
Did you ever get the feelin’
all the good times have gone?
Don’t try to fight it,
you know it’s no use.
No way you can beat it,
you’re messin’ with the power of the blues.
Mm-hm.

Did you ever get the feelin’
nothing’s goin’ your way?
Did you ever get the feelin’
that it just ain’t your day?
Ain’t no use to fight it,
you’re just gonna lose.
You know you can’t beat it,
you’re messin’ with the power of the blues,
power of the blues.

You can’t run,
and you just can’t hide.
The blues has got you
way down inside.
Well, have you heard the news,
they’re talking ‘bout the power of the blues.
Yeah.

Did you ever get the feelin’
everything was going wrong?
Did you ever get the feelin’
all the good times have gone?
Well, don’t try to fight it,
you know it’s no use.
Don’t try to fight it,
you’re messin’ with the power of the blues.

You’re messin’ with the power of the blues,
power of the blues.

Wishing well (Gary Moore)

WISHING WELL (Rodgers/Kirke/Yamauchi/Bundrick/Kossoff)

Take off your hat, kick off your shoes.

You know you ain’t goin’ anywhere.

Spend all your time singin’ your blues.

You know you ain’t goin’ anywhere.

You’ve always been a good friend of mine,

but you always say farewell.

And the only time that you’re satisfied,

is with your feet in the wishing well.

In the wishing well.

Throw down your gun, you might shoot yourself.

Or is that what you’re tryin’ to do?

Put up a fight you believe to be right,

and one day the sun will shine through.

You’ve always got somethin’ to hide.

Somethin’ you just can’t tell.

And the only time that you’re satisfied,

is with your feet in the wishing well.

In the wishing well.

But I know what you’re wishing for.

Love in a peaceful world.

Love in a peaceful world.

Love in a peaceful world.

You’ve always been a good friend of mine,

but you always say farewell.

And the only time that you’re satisfied,

is with your feet in the wishing well.

In the wishing well.

In the wishing well.

Everybody’s got a dream.

And they take it to the wishing well.

Everybody’s got a dream.

Wishing well.

The end of the world (Gary Moore)

THE END OF THE WORLD (Gary Moore)

There is only tomorrow,

nothing but sorrow waiting for you.

Don’t look for any mystery,

it’s only history we’re passing through.

The threat from the east

growing stronger with each passing hour.

All systems are failing,

and talks with the west have turned sour.

The leaders are waiting for blood on their hands.

Playing with weapons they don’t understand.

Could it be this time we’ll see the end of the world.

Each day brings a new danger,

love is a stranger we used to know.

Outside, the sun goes on rising.

But we’re realizing there’s not long to go.

The storm clouds are forming,

take heed of the warning to come.

The Kremlin has told every nation

there’s no place to run.

The leaders are waiting for blood on their hands.

Playing with weapons they don’t understand.

Could it be this time we’ll see the end of the world.

The end of the world.

The end of the world.

The end of the world.

The threat from the east

growing stronger with each passing hour.

All systems are failing,

and talks with the west have turned sour.

The leaders are waiting for blood on their hands.

Playing with weapons they don’t understand.

Could it be this time we’ll see the end of the world.

The end of the world.

The end of the world.

The end of the world.

(Repeat to end)

I can't wait until tomorrow

I CAN’T WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW (Gary Moore)

I’ve been searchin’ for something I might never find.

I’ve been looking for something I have left behind.

I’ve been searching every day in the rising sun.

I’ve been trying to find my way till the day is done.

I’ve been searching.

I’ve been reaching for something I might never touch.

And I’ve been dreaming of something that I want so much.

I’ve been counting all the tears in the falling rain.

I’ve been trying to hide my fears, but it’s all the same.

And I don’t know if I’ll ever pass this way again.

I can’t wait until tomorrow.

It’s something I might never see.

I can’t wait until tomorrow,

for tomorrow never waits for me.

Tomorrow never waits for me.

I can’t wait until tomorrow.

It’s something I might never see.

I can’t wait until tomorrow,

for tomorrow never waits for me.

Tomorrow just won’t wait for me.

Tomorrow never waits for me.

I’ve been searchin’ for something I might never find.

And I’ve been looking for something I have left behind.

I’ve been counting all the tears in the falling rain.

I’ve been hiding all my fears, but it’s all the same.

And I don’t know if I’ll ever pass this way again.

I can’t wait until tomorrow.

It’s somethin’ I might never see.

I can’t wait until tomorrow,

for tomorrow never waits for me.

I can’t wait until tomorrow.

It’s not the place I wanna be.

I can’t wait until tomorrow,

for tomorrow just won’t wait for me.
