lyrics

All your cares
now they seem
oh so far away
All your fears
I fear I once shared
Now I know
there's a future
for all of us
Not so long ago
I was so scared

You seemed so sad
I could see
through your twisted smile
So unsure
always confused
Pale blue eyes
gazing down
from your ivory tower
Through the haze
all broken and bruised

Then out of the blue
Love came rushing in
Out of the sky
came the sun
Out of left field
came a lucky day
Out of the blue
no more pain

I don't mind
if it's only a passing craze
Throwaway lines
often ring true
If I were you
I would stay
for a little while
If you were me
would you walk out
In style?

Eddie Japan Boston

".. a contagious attitude of doing it up, and doing it up right that you can hear in the carnival swirls of ultra-melodic pop, latin-flavored bravado and cinematic ‘70s UK rock."
