Rock Ballad

Rock Ballad - Elliott Murphy ---------------------------- visit www.elliottmurphy.com Verse: When the moon was just right We could turn off the light and just listen And we’d pray to the night And we’d hold on so tight You could hear crystal stars as they’d glisten Lovers in vain Like to walk in the rain Like to hear distant trains emotion And the late radio We would play it so low No one must know this devotion Chorus: Rock ballad - Rock ballad You know baby and I used to listen all night long To the real slow song -Till the tears were gone Verse: And these jobs and these schools Teach romance is for fools And the dream always ends upon waking And we all kept our cool like a hustler shoot pool And soon your whole life is spent faking Cause to try is to fail And as the wind left your sails All you heard was the sound of their laughter But I was running so fast With the wind racing past All I heard was a voice say "go after her" Chorus: Rock ballad - Rock ballad You know baby and I used to listen all night long To the real slow song -Till the tears were gone gone Verse And these soul clarinets And the feelings we get It’s the songs of regret I remember And we placed our last bet On loves long shot request As they spun the roulette that September Now let’s all raise our glass For a drink to the past And a drink to the last chance taken And let’s drink once again to our long lost friends No we can’t let it end the surf’s breaking Rock ballad - Rock ballad
