Ule W. Ritgen

It only seems like yesterday -
You broke the spell and turned away
The darkness of the night.
Your smile just like the morning sun -
It healed the pain I felt so long
Dried all the tears I cried.

One look into your eyes -
It's like rising with the wind
One moment changed my life -
It's love I'm breathing in

I dream -
And nothing breaks the silence that I feel
The love I used to wish for - now it's real
You turn it on and break the spell -
I know it's true, I know it's true -
I dream...

A castaway out in the storm -
In search for love and far from home
That's all I used to be.
But then you came into my life -
To open up my blinded eyes
Your love it set me free.

When silent is the night -
I'm driving with the wind
No matter what I try -
It's love I'm breathing in

I dream -
And nothing breaks the silence that I feel
The love I used to wish for - now it's real
You turn it on and break the spell -
I know it's true, I know it's true -
I dream - I dream...

I see you smile - such a silent smile
A bittersweet emotion -
From deep inside your eyes

And sometimes in the night -
As you whisper in your sleep
You reach out like you used to
And then it cuts so deep

For the love that I am sending -
Now it's drifting with the wind
And the faith I'm still pretending -
It's a fight my heart can't win

Just tell me I'm wrong -
Just tell me this love ain't gonna die
Just tell me I'm wrong -
Whatever you need I'll make it right
Just don't keep me hanging on, girl -
To a dream your heart can't find
Don't you know - it's breaking mine

I roam the streets -
Trying to read your mind
A drifter going nowhere -
For now these eyes are blind

But somewhere in that night -
There's a dream that drives me on
No matter what it takes now -
'Cause still it seems so strong

But the love that I am sending -
Now it's drifting with the wind
And the doubts they're never ending -
It's a fight my heart can't win

Just tell me I'm wrong -
Just tell me this love ain't gonna die
Just tell me I'm wrong -
Whatever it takes I'm gonna try
Just don't keep me hanging on, girl -
To a dream your heart can't find
Don't you know - it's breaking mine

Just tell me I'm wrong -
Just tell me this love ain't gonna die
Just tell me I'm wrong -
Whatever you need I'll make it right
Just don't keep me hanging on, girl -
To a dream your heart can't find
Don't you know - it's breaking mine

Forever - Fair Warning


Another sleepless night
Paradise drifts out of sight
You find yourself on a street to nowhere

And you found talk is cheap
And promises not made to keep
You can't go on and pretend you don't care

By now you realize
Change's a faithful guide
And it will take yoi thru flood tide
(Come let your sun rise)

Forever we will change
Forever we will learn
As long as time turns
As long as love burns
Forever

Don't mind to rearrange
For you never can return
To these shores to save
From all stormy waves
Forever

And hate won't take control
Do closely listen to your soul
No rest no sleep till the answer is near

You chase the rainbows end
A virtue you may will defend
'Cause each day will take you to a new frontier

By now you realize
Change's a faithful guide
And it will take yoi thru flood tide
(Come let your sun rise)

Forever we will change
Forever we will learn
As long as time turns
As long as love burns
Forever

Don't mind to rearrange
For you never can return
To these shores to save
From all stormy waves
Forever

Break Free - Fair Warning


Cool and misty morning -
Fall's come silently
Another golden summer has gone by

You wake up like a dreamer -
To what your life could be
A prisoner of ambition -
But now you can't deny

The days of your life -
They're slipping away
And now it ain't so easy -
To waste another day

Break free - on the wings of tomorrow
Find your dream in the tears of this night
Break free - from the chains of your sorrow
Open your eyes - saving your soul, this time

Addicted to the fast life -
You never seemed to care
'Bout where the open road would lead you to

Those glory days are over -
And sure you had your share
But now it just means nothing-
And nothing just won't do

The call of your heart -
You pushed it down low
But now you feel it rising -
Come on and let it show

Break free - on the wings of tomorrow
Find your dream in the tears of this night
Break free - from the chains of your sorrow
Open your eyes - saving your soul, this time

Why don't you Break free...

Through The Fire - Fair Warning


As the night's coming slowly -
In endless space and time
I can feel through the silence -
There's something out of line
There's a force in the distance -
That pulls me on too strong
To a hole in the system -
I can't resist for long

Through the oceans - of the night
Distant starlight - shining bright
Lost in silence - my fuel's down -
Getting low
I can't get on - I can't get back -
There's just one way to go

Through the fire - through the fire -
Through the fire - through the fire -

In the heart of the moment -
I feel my heartbeat rise
As a stargate to heaven -
Unfolds before my eyes
There's a light in the distance -
I now I can't be late
If you just could excuse me -
I must be on my way

Through the oceans - of the night
Distant starlight - shining bright
Out from nowhere - a thunder -
Blinding blow
I can't get on - I can't get back -
There's just one way to go

Through the fire - through the fire -
Take me higher - through the fire -

Through the fire - through the fire...

Heart On The Run
by Fair Warning



Now you know, you cannot stay
for you make up your mind
to go instead a long way
Change your must - I hear you say
Did you learn how to fight
to make your way for these days

Now You Pray For America To Come
Now You Say: Take Me To The Promissed Land

Heart On The Run - I'm Lonely in the night
just trying to find some shelter from pain
Heart On The Run - How Can you survive?
As long as you won't face the truth, you will cry in vain

Start it out
not to return
it's a long way to go, and no lesson left to learn

So Don't you pray for America to come
Say you will, and meet me in the promissed land

Heart On The Run - I'm Lonely in the night
just trying to find some shelter from pain
Heart On The Run - Shall you'll survive?
As soon as you will face the truth, you don't cry in vain

Heart On The Run
Heart On The Run - Some Shelter From Pain

Come On - Fair Warning


The days of life flow by –
Before my eyes
I lost my patience to the night
The streams I used to climb –
They’re running dry
And now I’m tired of wasting time

‘Cause out there in the deep blue sky –
My stars are shining bright
I look into those eyes of doubt –
It’s to say ‘goodbye’

Come on and give your soul –
The heartbeat of the thunder
Take all these false controles
And throw ‘em all away
Just look right through this life –
Beyond the gates of reason
Come on and let those children play

A drifter on the wind –
That’s what I am
And now the distance calls my name

We go down the road of love –
We’ll meet again
And we’ll find nothing stayed the same

‘Cause out there in the golden dawn
We’re rising with the wind
I’ll look into those eyes of love –
It’s only the begin

Come on and give your soul –
The heartbeat of the thunder
Take all these false controls
And throw ‘em all away
Just look right through this life –
Beyond the gates of reason
Come on and let those children play –
Let them play – yeah yeah

Come on and give your soul –
The heartbeat of the thunder
Take all those false controls
And throw ‘em all away
Just look right through this life –
Beyond the gates of reason
Come on and let those children
Come on and let those children play –
Let them play –
Let those children play

Let them play –
Let those children play

All On You Own (Different Version)
by Fair Warning


Give me a moment I know you're feeling down tonight
And the visions of your dreams
They are fading with the wind
I know it ain't easy
When your heart is still tied
To the memories of the past deep within
Don't keep me waiting for too long
Don't let me stand here
Till the dawn is coming on

All on your own in this night
Tell me what you wanna prove
Chasing shadows on your own
All on your own you can fight
But the meaning of it all
You won't find all alone

The moon of the night time
It's rising with a golden wing
Turns the secrets of our hearts
Into tales from yesterday
Hey look at yourself girl
There's a new begin
Just as long as you let love find a way
Don't let them tell you that it's wrong no no
Don't push it back now
'Till your heart has turned to stone

All on your own in this night
Tell me what you wanna prove
Chasing shadows on your own
All on your own you can fight
But the meaning of it all
You won't find all alone, all alone baby

instrumental break

All on your own in this night
Tell me what you wanna prove
Chasing shadows on your own
All on your own you can fight
But the meaning of it all
You won't find all alone
You won't find it, girl
All alone

I Fight - Fair Warning


Riots on the misty roads of night
Faces carved in ignorance and pride

Looking for another way
Trouble's down the street
The sky's on fire - I'm moving on
I got to face the heat

I fight - when silence breaks at night
I fight - no mercy in these eyes
And if my love is strong enough,
I got to break this pride -
I fight - I fight...

Castles built on anger and desire
Waymarks in a no man's land on fire

Looking for a different life
Longing for the day
And all I know's - I must get out
I got to find my way

I fight - when silence breaks at night
I fight - no mercy in these eyes
And if my love is strong enough,
I got to break this pride -
I fight - I fight...

You know I'll run to you when this world made me
all too blue
When the pain just gets too much
You keep me save and warm, give me shelter
from the storm
When I need a tender touch

Crying on your shoulder I made it out alive
You're the one to catch me, helped me to survive

You talk to the stars an the moon
Smile at me, shine ´till my dark night is through
Your smile - can take away all my fears
When you're by my side gone is the pain and the tears

The one who can't decide caught in many doubts and pride
Is a man who looks like me
You know I have to try and even if you don't know why
You're the only one to see

Crying on your shoulder I made it out alive
You're the one to catch me, helped me to survive

You talk to the stars an the moon
Smile at me, shine ´till my dark night is through
Your smile - can take away all my fears
When you're by my side gone is the pain and the tears..


Crying on your shoulder I made it out alive
You're the one to catch me, helped me to survive

You talk to the stars an the moon
Smile at me, shine ´till my dark night is through
Your smile - can take away all my fears
When you're by my side gone is the pain and the tears..
(repeat) gone is the pain..

When the going gets tough - and you're wasted and tired
Give yourself another chance for what you wanna do
You wanna give up - but you better think twice
You're the only one in charge to find out what is true
There's something in your eyes, girl
It's just not meant to die
It takes away your sleep at night
And opens up your eyes -
Get a little closer - get a little tough
Try a little harder - what you're dreaming of
You can be a fighter - talking ain't enough
Get a little closer - in the name of love
You might call me a fool - I don't care about that
You can call me anything - but what you wanna do?
Cause maybe you're wrong - You know, you never can bet
You can turn it either way - the choice is up to you
There's something on your mind, girl
It just won´t go away
It takes away your sleep at night
Growing day by day -
Get a little closer - get a little tough
Try a little harder - what you're dreaming of
You can be a fighter - talking ain't enough
Get a little closer - in the name of love
There's something in your eyes, girl
It's just not meant to die
It takes away your sleep at night
And opens up your eyes -
Just find out who you are, girl
And what you're meant to be
The time is on your side, my friend
And one day you'll break free
Get a little closer - get a little tough
Try a little harder - what you're dreaming of
You can be a fighter -
talking ain't enough Get a little closer -
in the name of love ......

The wind of the west - it whispers and calls
A dirge to the still of night
I'm lying awake - and sorrow is on my mind
´Cause baby, I Know - we must make a move
This world's running out of time
There's a force that keeps pushing me on
I can feel it inside -
This burning heart - sets my soul on fire
And the power of hope is rising up through my veins
This burning heart - drives my souls desire
Time and time again
A world in a daze - in fear and confused
Is rising before my eye
We run from the truth - too blind for signs of time
There's a vision of justice and peace
Living on in our souls
There must be a way better than this
And I'm longing to go
This burning heart - sets my soul on fire
And the power of hope is rising up through my veins
This burning heart - drives my souls desire
Time and time again
Repeat Chorus

Like the rivers that don't know
Where they're flowing
Like the free birds who don't care
Where they're going
It's been a long time I lost control
Hear the cry of a left alone soul

For the first time in a many years
I'm listening
To the words that all the wise man
Have been saying
All these answers they all might be true
But give me reason to start something new

Ooh this lonely road
We're riding for much too long
Longing and searching we keep going on
Through the night

Come save me tonight
Be my guiding light
In these times of despair
Take the chance if you dare

Come save me tonight
And walk by my side
Be the stars be the sun
And be my kingdom come
Come save me tonight
Come and save me tonight

There are times it's really hard
To hide emotion
But believe me girl this truly is devotion
Maybe someday all chains will be gone
Maybe someday we'll walk in the sun

Come a time when rivers know
Why they are flowing
Come a time when free birds know
Where they are going
Don't you think that solution is near
Say the one word that I want to hear

Ooh this lonely road
We're riding for much too long
Longing and searching we keep going on
Through the night

Come save me tonight
Be my guiding light
In these times of despair
Just take the chance if you dare

Come save me tonight
And walk by my side
Be the stars be the sun
And be my kingdom come
Ooh come save me tonight
Tonight

Come save me tonight
Be my guiding light
In these times of despair
Just take the chance if you dare

Come save me tonight
And walk by my side
Be the stars be the sun
And be my kingdom come
Come save me tonight
Save me, tonight...

Morning light is breaking
Distant sky's alight
Melting down the shadows of the night
I find myself still dreaming '
As I open up my eyes
To the beauty of new day come alive
For the times they are a-changing '
I can feel in the air
And wherever they will drive me '
I don't care '

I follow my heart '
Down the road I'm riding
Led on by the sun to a new days shine '
So don't call me back '
To those lost horizons
I follow my heart '
I follow my heart this time

I'm singing to the sunshine '
Laughing at the rain
Guided by the whisper of the wind
And down the road of night-time '
When evening's come again
I'll be waiting for a new day to begin

And the worries 'bout the future '
They are fading in the past
For the love that I am feeling '
It will last '

I follow my heart '
Down the road I'm riding
Led on by the sun and the fire inside
So don't call me back '
To those lost horizons
I follow my heart '
I follow my heart tonight yeah, come on...

I follow my heart '
Down the road I'm riding
Whatever may come or be ' shall be
So don't call me back '
To those lost horizons
I follow my heart '
And one day I'm breaking free...
