Heart


A little something about Heart
Long before Seattle became known for grunge, sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson were putting together their first rock band. Sporting heels and leather rather than Timberlands and flanel, the Wilson sisters sang rock ballads in the mid-70s, backed by a band playing the hard rock riffs that had worked for their guitar-rock predescessors. Heart found fans in the US, Canada, and Britain, though their traditional rock sound in an era of punk and new wave was hardly the order of the day. Heart gained a new lease on life with the advent of the music video in the early 1980s. Ann and Nancy Wilson updated their wardrobes to include more lace and accent their looks, recorded a pop/rock album with their new label Capitol, put together a couple of videos, and the Heart that most of us remember to this day was born. In 1985 their self-titled LP release brought with it two huge international hits in "These Dreams" and "What About Love." Their Bad Animals album two years later was an even bigger success, and brought them a number one hit in "Alone." While they've not come anywhere near to repeating their earlier successes, Heart will long be remembered - for good or for bad - for their videos and hits in the mid 80's. Heart has continued to record and play live shows, the Wilson sisters having returned to their roots in Seattle.

These Dreams

Spare a little candle
Save some light for me
Figures up ahead
Moving in the trees
White skin in linen
Perfume on my wrist
And the full moon that hangs over
These dreams in the mist

Darkness on the edge
Shadows where I stand
I search for the time
On a watch with no hands
I want to see you clearly
Come closer than this
But all I remember
Are the dreams in the mist

CHORUS:
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away

Is it cloak 'n' dagger
Could it be spring or fall
I walk without a cut
Through a stained glass wall
Weaker in my eyesight
The candle in my grip
And words that have no form
Are falling from my lips

CHORUS

There's something out there
I can't resist
I need to hide away from the pain
There's something out there
I can't resist

The sweetest song is silence
That I've ever heard
Funny how your feet
In dreams never touch the earth
In a wood full of princes
Freedom is a kiss
But the prince hides his face
From dreams in the mist




What About Love I've been lonely I've been waiting for you I'm pretending and that's all I can do The love I'm sending Ain't making it through to your heart You've been hiding - never letting it show Always trying to keep it under control You got it down and you're well On your way to the top But there's something that you forgot What about love Don't you want someone to care about you What about love Don't let it slip away What about love I only want to share it with you You might need it some day I can't tell you what you're feeling inside And I can't sell you what you don't want to buy Something's missing and you got to Look back on your life You know something here just ain't right What about love Don't you want someone to care about you What about love Don't let it slip away What about love I only want to share it with you What about love Don't you want someone to care about you What about love Don't let it slip away What about love I only want to share it with you
All I wanna do is make love to you It was a rainy night When he came into sight Standing by the road With no umbrella No coat So I pulled up along side And I offered him a ride He accepted with a smile So we drove for a while I didn't ask him his name This lonely boy In the rain Fate tell me it's right, is this love at first sight Please don't make it wrong Just stay for the night All I wanna do is make love to you Say you will You want me too All I wanna do is make love to you I got lovin' arms, to hold on to So we found this hotel It was a place, I knew well We made magic that night Oh he did everything right He brought the woman out of me So many times Easily And in the morning when he woke All I left him was a note I told him I am the flower You are the seed We walked in the garden We planed a tree Don't try to find me Please don't you dare Just live in my memory You'll always be there All I wanna do is make love to you One night of love Was all we knew All I wanna do is make love to you I got lovin' arms, to hold on to - oh Oooh we made love Love like strangers All night long We made love Then it happened one day We came round the same way You can imagine his surprise When he saw his own eyes I said please please understand I'm in love with another man And what he couldn't give me, oh Was the one little thing that you can All I wanna do is make love to you One night of love Was all we knew All I want to do is make love to you C'mon say you will You want me too All I wanna do is make love to you One night of love Was all we knew All I wanna do is make love to you Say you will baby Want me too all night long All night long All night long All night long All I wanna do, all I wanna do, all I wanna do, all I wanna do All I wanna do is make love to you One night of love Was all we knew - yeah
Alone I hear the ticking of the clock I'm lying here, the room's pitch dark I wonder where you are tonight, No answer on the telephone And the night goes by so very slow, Oh, I hope that it won't end, though, Alone Till now, I always got by on my own I never really cared until I met you And now it chills me to the bone How do I get you alone? How do I get you alone? You don't know how long I have wanted To touch your lips and hold you tight You don't know how long I have waited, And I was gonna tell you tonight. But the secret is still my own, And my love for you is still unknown, Alone Till now, I always got by on my own I never really cared until I met you And now it chills me to the bone How do I get you alone? How do I get you alone? (repeat x2) Alone... alone.
