Thin
Red Line (Dedicated to the Argyll & Sutherlands)
Words: Alan Frew
Music: Glass Tiger
The hands of time have spoken for the chosen ones
Cold steel glistens in the dawning sun
(It's) destiny and claidemaugh that embraces me
All here to sacrifice for victory,
Hidden in the shadows where the cold wind comes
...A mist queen dances for her fallen sons.
Over and over, her shadow falls over me.
Remember no retreat, from here you
Die where you stand.
It's chance that brings the "Rory's" to this
foreign land,
The crimson and the claidemaugh make you
"Strangers to fear"
A thin red streak tipped with a line of steel....
Shadows fall over me
All for the "thin red line"
Chorus
All for the thin red line
All for the thin red line...
Now the battles over, Kedekoi can cry, for all
The gallant hillmen she's seen fought and die;
Red is for the heroes;
Green is for the brave;
(Oh!) "Soldiers would you leave me with no souls
To save".
Chorus
Don't
Forget Me (When I'm Gone)
Words: Alan Frew
Music: Glass Tiger/Jim Vallance
You take my breath away
Love thinks it's here to stay
There's still so much for me to do
And I can't stop loving you
Oh can this be true
If you could see what I have seen
(The) broken hearts and broken dreams
Then I wake up and you're not there
Pain finds me everywhere
Oh! but you don't care
Chorus
Don't forget me when I'm gone
My heart would break
I have loved you for so long
It's all I can take
You, you take my breath away
Love thinks its here to stay
There's still so much for me to do
And I can't stop loving you
Oh! Can this be true
Chorus
Then I wake up and you're not there
Pain finds me everywhere
Oh! but you don't care
Chorus
Closer
to You
Words: Alan Frew
Music: Glass Tiger
It's sad
You keep me waiting
Listen, hear falling tears?
Watching someone replacing
All that you've given to me
To get...
Chorus
Closer to you (tell me, tell me something)
Closer to you (tell me, tell me something)...
Remember one night together
Always meant much more to me
Then came, pain with the pleasure
I leave
now you cry for me
To get...
Chorus
Vanishing
Tribe
Words: Alan Frew
Music: Glass Tiger
Vanishing tribe, Vanishing love
And as the sun goes down
It marks the end of day
When the moon comes out
It takes my breath away
In my memories
The children dance and sing
Bringing happiness that only children bring
I've seen the new world come
I see the old world go
I've watched the sky shed tears
Till rivers overflow
I feel the mountains move
I'm watching nature die
I hear the young men singing
As the old men cry
Vanishing tribe, vanishing love
Vanishing tribe, vanishing love
I've had my life my time has come
Vanishing tribe
Now as I near the light a shadow follows me
On such a tribal night she sets her children free
They can take my life but
They can't take my home
Dance closer to the light
I vanish all alone.
Chorus
I see a distant light
The stars are burning bright
My tribe is fading...
Chorus
Looking
at a Picture
Words: Alan Frew
Music: Glass Tiger/ G. O'Brien
Here's my story
Written for you
A hidden story...
Looking inside
From the outside
I remember a time
When I was young
Chorus 1:
I'm looking at a picture
Of another time
Of childhood days
And summer nights
When I look back
Oh! how I loved you
Spent my fortune
The way that young boys do!
Chorus 2:
I'm looking at a picture
Of another time
Of childhood days
And summer nights
I'm looking at the sadness
In a young girl's eyes
The leaving's hard to do
But I can't wait for you.
Bridge:
Whatever I gave to you
(The) living's easy
Loving's hard for you
Living's easy
Loving's hard to do
Extended chorus
Ancient
Evenings
Words: Alan Frew
Music: Glass Tiger
What can I write
What can I write
What can I say
What can I say
Golden oceans
Of jealous desert sands
As ancient evening
Spreads across the land
Chorus
Living loving
Ancient evening
Seeing
Believe in your love
So after I die and
I leave here
Will time, wind and
Thieves ravage me
Place my body
Beneath the desert sand
And pray that the queen
Welcomes me
Chorus
Color the black
In my soul white.
From out of the dark
Comes the daylight.
Untold treasures are
Hidden memories
Of ancient evening
That you have given me.
Chorus
Ecstasy
Words: Alan Frew
Music: Glass Tiger
Do you hold your breath
When you look in the mirror
Stealing years it takes
Not a giver
Have you taken refuge
From its charm
Do you cry as dreams
Go past you forever
Of things you've done
Of all that you've never
Living in the shadows
Of the stars
Chorus:
You're in ecstasy,
Ecstasy,
Ecstasy,...forever.
With crying eyes you tell me
You're leaving
Aging mind are you still
Believing
Breaking my heart I know what
You're feeling
I can't stop the mirror
From stealing
I have taken refuge from its charms
Chorus
Now you're in your golden years,
Your golden years
Chorus
Someday
Words: Alan Frew
Music: Glass Tiger/Jim Vallance
When I come home
You telephone and say
You're waiting for me
I ask you why
I hear you cry but,
You're still waiting for me.
Chorus
Someday
You'll be shedding your tears
To cry over me
Someday
I'll be losing this fear
Now I'm alone
You telephone and tell me
You don't need me
I ask you why
You tell me lies and say
The truth would hurt me
Chorus
Down in the streets
Where lovers meet
That's where I'm waiting for you
Oh! in the streets
Where lovers meet
I'm still waiting for you.
Chorus
I
Will Be There
Words:Alan Frew/Michael Hanson
Music: Glass Tiger
A fight for king or country
Can liven any heart
To sleep beneath the open skies
A love affair can start
Echoes in the valley
As embers cross "red skies"
I'm calling from the mountain
Echoes of no reply
Chorus
I will be there
Oh! When you call my name
I will be there
Oh! if you call my name....
I will be there
Listen to the silence
As shadows dance with me
A ticking clock of endless time
Clouds my memory
I'm calling from the mountains
Echoes cry for me
Chorus
You're
What I Look For
Words: Alan Frew
Music: Glass Tiger
When you walked into the room
I saw their faces;
You made it seem like time
Was standing still;
And I felt fascination
Though I knew you just casually.
So I slowly made my way
To where you were standing;
The hounds were gathered near
I didn't care.
You sensed desperaton
My heart gave me away
And then you said:
Chorus:
You're what I look for,
Je pense que je t'adore
You're what I look for...
Lately
When our eyes met in conversation
I tried to smile;
You looked the other way
You make situations;
Seem like love affairs
And then you said.
Chorus
Bridge:
Now it's over
