You  think the love you never had might save  you
 But true  love takes  a little trying
 You can touch  it with your fingers try  to believe your eyes
 Is it love or lies
 So you're keeping  your distance a little bit of running round you
 But if she doesn't return  your call  on time  oh my my
 You just act  like a fool on a holiday  there's nothing  you wouldn't  try
You  must be  a prisoner in  disguise
 Now this night life  is my life but  there's no one else in it
Sometimes  these lonesome breezes blow
 But it's no  show  you might as well go if  you think you could win it
  ^?
 Without losing and letting it show try to stay low
 This city is no  place to hide in everybody  knows your number
 I don't believe you  could ever be  alone  if you tried
 You just run  like a man with no reason  to run
 And no  place to ever arrive
You  must be  a prisoner in  disguise
 SHF Band Rise And Fall written by Chris Hillman
  Running  high running low  it's down  the road we go
 And it's hard  hard time
 Can't  you see where we been  you know we can't  do that again
 But it's hard  hard times
Through  the long dark night  we kept  our hopes held high
 Hopin to find  what we'd all been prayin for
 On a pathway filled with lies  we still manage  to get by
 But it's hard  hard times
 And it's a run  for the money run  down to the show  to rock n roll
 After all these  years of tryin  tell me is it really  worth it all  to
 rise and
 fall
 And it all goes by so fast  it hardly  ever lasts
 And there's always someone  who wants more
 And this  feeling deep inside  I've tried  so long to hide
 But it's hard  hard time
 SHF Band Follow Me Through written by Chris Hillman
Look  out my window snow  flakes fall
 A voice  down inside  me beckons  and calls
Keep  my eyes open learn  from the past
 Look towards tomorrow to fufill a task
Will  you follow  me we can learn  from each other share  what is true
 If I stumble  and fall then we're headed  for bad times
You'd  be around to give  me the strength pull my feet  of the ground
Circle  can't be broken till the last words spoken
Know  how it feels when there's no  where to go
 Just make  yourself lonely make  yourself old
 And late  in the night when I needed  a friend
 
 I reached out to touch you you found me again
 SHF Band Heavenly Fire written by Chris Hillman/Len Fagan
 intro
Heavenly  fire cold  dark rain  I'm feeling  so low
 Won't you play  it again
 There'll be tears  of sorrow tears  of strife
Running  hiding through the long  hours of night
Hard  To live easy  to die
Makes  you want to get down on your knees  and cry
How  many times have you felt  this way
How  many times have you heard  them say
 It's a heavenly  fire cold  dark rain
 I'm feeling  so low won't you play  it again
Tears  of sorrow tears  of strife running  hiding
 Through the long  hours of night
Lived  the life you sang  about
Carried  me through when I had  my doubts
Now  there's an emptiness inside  of me
All  I've got left is your memory
Tired  and weary your not  alone
Still  searching for the way  back home
Further  on we'll meet again  someday
These  are the last words that I heard  you say
Heavenly  fire cold  dark rain
 I'm feeling  so low won't you play  it again
 There'll be tears  of sorrow tears  of strife
Running  hiding thru the long  hours of night
 And There'll be heavenly  fire cold  dark rain
