Another Day John Petrucci

Transcription

1 Live another day Climb a little higher Find another reason to stay Ashes in your hands Mercy in your eyes If you're searching for a silent sky... You won't find it here Look another way You won't find it here So die another day Another Day John Petrucci The coldness of his words The message in his silence, 'Face the candle to the wind...' This distance in my voice Isn't leaving you a choice So if you're looking for a time to run away... You won't find it here Look another way You won't find it here So try another day They took pictures of our dreams Ran to hide behind the stairs And said maybe when it's right for you, they'll fall But if they don't come down Resist the need to pull them in And throw them away Better to save the mystery Than surrender to the secret You won't find it here Look another way You won't find it here So try another day This mornin is Monday Ashes by now

5 So you don't mean shit to me But you look like a fine thing Jerry Yeh you look like a fine thing Jerry They got a name for people like you Yeh they do And they got a name for people like me too El Macho, El Macho Now they want you to sing Don't get shy or anything The boys are all here Gonna buy you another beer 'Cos you look like a fine thing Jerry Yeh you look like a fine thing Jerry El Macho, El Macho Far Away - Nickle Black This time, This place Misused, Mistakes Too long, Too late Who was I to make you wait Just one chance Just one breath Just in case there's just one left 'Cause you know, you know, you know [CHORUS] That I love you I have loved you all along And I miss you Been far away for far too long

6 I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore One my knees, I'll ask Last chance for one last dance 'Cause with you, I'd withstand All of hell to hold your hand I'd give it all I'd give for us Give anything but I won't give up 'Cause you know, you know, you know [CHORUS] So far away Been far away for far too long So far away Been far away for far too long But you know, you know, you know I wanted I wanted you to stay 'Cause I needed I need to hear you say That I love you I have loved you all along And I forgive you For being away for far too long So keep breathing 'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore Hold on to me and, never let me go Happy Birthday [Verse 1] Please accept my apologies, wonder what would have been would 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 sex choosing our life over your life meant your death and you never got a chance to even open your eyes sometimes 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 nose and the way you would have laughed and talked fast or slow I think about it every year, so I picked up a pen

7 Happy birthday, I love you whoever you would have been [Chorus x 2] Happy birthday What I thought was a dream make a wish was as real as it seemed I made a mistake [Verse 2] I got a million excuses, as to why you died and other people got their own reasons for homocide who's to say it would have worked and who's to say it wouldn't have I was young and struggling, but old enough to be a dad the fear of being my father has never disappeared I ponder it frequently while I'm sipping on my beer my vision of a family was artificial and fake so when it came time to create I made a mistake now you got a little brother, maybe it's really you maybe you really forgave us knowing we was confused maybe, every time that he smiles it's you proudly knowing that your father is doing the right thing now I never tell a woman what to do with her body but if she don't love children then we can't party I 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 birthday What I thought was a dream make a wish was as real as it seemed I made a mistake [repeat x2] from the heavens to the womb to the heavens again from the ending to the ending never got to begin maybe one day we can meet face to face in a place without time and space happy birthday [Chorus x 2] Happy birthday What I thought was a dream make a wish was as real as it seemed

8 I made a mistake La Isla Bonita (Spoken:) Como puede ser verdad Last night I dreamt of San Pedro Just like I'd never gone, I knew the song A young girl with eyes like the desert It all seems like yesterday, not far away Chorus: Tropical the island breeze All of nature wild and free This is where I long to be La isla bonita And when the samba played The sun would set so high Ring through my ears and sting my eyes Your Spanish lullaby I fell in love with San Pedro Warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me te dijo te amo

9 I prayed that the days would last They went so fast (chorus) I want to be where the sun warms the sky When it's time for siesta you can watch them go by Beautiful faces, no cares in this world Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves a girl Last night I dreamt of San Pedro It all seems like yesterday, not far away (chorus two times) lalalalalalaaa te dijo te amo lalalalalalaaa (Spoken:) el dijo que te ama no matter what they tell us no matter what they do no matter what they teach us what we believe is true no matter what they call us however they attack no matter where they take us we'll find our own way back i can't deny what i believe i can't be what i'm not i'll know our love's forever i'll know no matter what if only tears were laughter if only night was day if only prayers were answered then we would hear god say No Matter no matter what they tell you no matter what they do no matter what they teach you what you believe is true

12 I am Jeremiah Dixon I am a Geordie boy A glass of wine with you, sir And the ladies I'll enjoy All Durham and Northumberland Is measured up by my own hand It was my fate from birth To make my mark upon the earth... He calls me Charlie Mason A stargazer am I It seems that I was born To chart the evening sky They'd cut me out for baking bread But I had other dreams instead This baker's boy from the west country Would join the Royal Society... We are sailing to Philadelphia A world away from the coaly Tyne Sailing to Philadelphia To draw the line The Mason-Dixon line Now you're a good surveyor, Dixon But I swear you'll make me mad The West will kill us both You gullible Geordie lad You talk of liberty How can America be free A Geordie and a baker's boy In the forest of the Iroquois... Now hold your head up, Mason Sailing to Philadelphia by Mark Knopfler

13 See America lies there The morning tide has raised The capes of Delaware Come up and feel the sun A new morning is begun Another day will make it clear Why your stars should guide us here... We are sailing to Philadelphia A world away from the coaly Tyne Sailing to Philadelphia To draw the line The Mason-Dixon line Strange Foreign Beauty Strange foreign beauty I'll never know what's in your heart Does anyone know how it feels to hold you does anyone know the secret of your mind Strange foreign beauty I'll never come to share your world Does anyone know how it feels to live with you does anyone know the secret of your life Strange foreign beauty You'll never know what I felt for you Sometimes it feels like a million chances are slipping away disappearing in the air Post chorus: (You'll) never know what I felt for you you were always on my mind (I'll) never know how it feels to hold you how it feels to be with you

14 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 true I 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,

15 When she thought that I should be with you. But it's time to face the truth, I will never be with you.
