November 27th Set List – El Cid

Where the Red Sun Meets the Sea

Don’t know what you have in mind for me
Don’t be wasting all my time… you see…
All outside… it’s dreams that flee
All inside… it’s me that’s free

Don’t be trying to put your chains on me
Don’t you know I’ll never change… you see…
All I want… is so far… away
All I have… is here… today

Father time runs to conquer me… where the red sun meets the sea
Father time plays his cards on me… but I ain’t quite ready to let him win

Don’t know where you find your smiles for me
Don’t know why you insist on being with me
All I’ve longed… You give away
For so long… You say you’re here to stay

And I feel your warmth… inside… covering me
I feel your heart… inside… touching me
And I feel you… feel you… and still…

Father time runs to conquer me… where the red sun meets the sea
Father time plays his cards on me… but I ain’t quite ready to let him win…

The Time had Come

Going down the road I’ve always gone
Felt the need to step into the unknown
Turned off and ran so fast
Shedding my faulty past

Suddenly I stopped, dropped to my knees
There the world lay waiting in front of me
My restless heart beating so hard

There was no turning back; my day was here at last

Life keeps slipping like fine sand through my hands
The time had come to find out who I am.

Far away, my dreams kept taking me
Deep into a land of uncertainty
Facing my truth so fast
Trusting my strength would last

Life keeps slipping like fine sand through my hands
The time had come to find out who I am.

Chaaaai-ainge… change, change, change
Chaaaai-ainge… come set free my soul
Chaaaai-ainge… change, change, change
Chaaaai-ainge… come set free my soul

Create Your Own Light

Changes come and go away… and nothing… nothing… stays the same
Looking back, always wondering… what happened to the sun on my face…

Used to think the sky was blue… all our dreams were lived beyond the TV screen
Problems hidden from my view… thought of crime as just a newspaper scene

Create your own light… part the clouds in the sky
Live your own life… and don’t you ever let your dreams die

Sunsets paint all the deserts… seen by innocents along the way
Some have died, some have faded… some give us thoughts with which to play

Create your own light… part the clouds in the sky
Live your own life… and don’t you ever let your dreams die
Create your own light… part the clouds in the sky
Live your own life… and don’t you ever let your dreams die
Don’t you ever let your dreams die…
It’s up to you… it’s up to you… it’s up to you… it’s up to you…
It’s up to you.

Sweet Starry Eyes

Remember… long ago when we were kids
We said… it’d be you and I forever
You told me I’d be your king, you’d be my queen
Together we would conquer all our dreams

Sweet starry eyes, that shone through the darkest days
You’ve colored my life, in more than a million ways
You made me your king and I made you my queen
The greatest love story we could have dreamed

Sweet starry eyes, that shone through the darkest days
No doubt in your mind, loving my flaws away
Sweet starry eyes, calming the stormiest days
Always hand in hand, braving the road we laid

On and on and on… our love keeps carrying on and on and on…
time keeps carrying on and on and on… our love keeps carrying on and on and on…
time keeps carrying on… time keeps carrying on…

She’s Not There

I’ve looked for long across the miles, just can’t seem to find her anywhere
She’s in my mind, she lives in me, I’ve touched her skin, run my fingers through her hair
Come… to me… One… we’ll be…
but I wake up from it all, to find that she’s not there

Well, I see a light, open a door, it’s all so bright in colors everywhere
Someone’s in, we get so close, we share the nights, we share it all, she cares
Come… to me… oh… let me see…
but I break down all the walls, to find that she’s not there

Somewhere my love will keep waiting
I live in her, she only dreams of me
“Come to me,” she says… “please… come and take me”
but she wakes up from it all, to find that I’m not there
Yeah, she wakes up from it all, to find that I’m not there.

Echoes from the Firing Line

Echoes from the firing line… echoes from the firing line…
Echoes from the firing line… echoes from the firing line…
Never can set them aside
Slowly destroying my mind
All those words said… still beating… all life out of me…

Echoes from the firing line… echoes from the firing line…
Living my truth in the lies
Blinded by a brilliant disguise
Nothing to say… all words… die in me… die in me

Echoes dredge the past
Stirring the pain that lasts
And I love… and I trust…
While echoes dredge the past

Echoes from the firing line… echoes from the firing line…
And I love…
and I trust.

It’s a Quarter to Ten

It’s a quarter to ten… and I can’t see the end
to this torture that I’m in, this hole I’ve fallen in, because of you… I owe it to you…

It’s a quarter to ten… I’ve lost my best friend…
and I wonder what you’re doing now, I thought I’d hear from you somehow,
but it’s all in my head, you’re probably in somebody’s bed…
Down… and down… and down… way down, I fall… Down… and down… and down… way down, I fall

It’s a quarter to ten… I can’t understand…
You turned your back on me, turned so cold so easily, that couldn’t be you… your love was “so true.”
Down… and down… and down… way down, I fall… Down… and down… and down… way down, I fall

Drained dry. Nothing left inside. You took all that I had… my every feeling… and I still don’t know why.
Down… and down… and down… way down, I fall… Down… and down… and down… way down, I fall

It’s a quarter to ten…

Going Home

Cold truth seldom pardons anyone. Hard facts put an end to all the fun.
Hard to stay after all that was said and done. Time to change the man that I’d become.

Long drive to get away from everyone. Sooner or later I knew this time would have to come.
Just a simple, social suicide… perfect day to start a brand new life…

And now I’m going home… To a home I’ve never known… Feeling free at last… To learn what I’ve always known…

Miles of road, never think of looking back. Extinguished fast, all I leave just fades to black.
Just a simple, social suicide… perfect day to start a brand new life…

And now I’m going home… To a home I’ve never known… Feeling free at last… To learn what I’ve always known…

Drive to touch the burning, morning sun… The world wakes up to the man that I’ve become…
Drive to touch the burning, morning sun… The world wakes up to the man that I’ve become…

And now I’m going home… To a home I’ve never known… Feeling free at last… To learn what I’ve always known…
And now I’m going home… To a home I’ve never known… Feeling free at last… To learn what I’ve always known…
Now I’m going home… Going home… going home… Now I’m going home… Going home… going home…
Now I’m going… home…

Monday that Turns into Monday

Monday that turns into Tuesday, that turns into March, April, and June
Monday that turns into Tuesday, that turns into a life that’s gone too soon
Where is my life going? I can’t tell you, I don’t know
Where is my life going? I can’t tell you, I don’t know

Seconds that turn into minutes, that breathless I rush through to get my work done
Minutes that turn into hours, and days with no meaning to anyone
Where is my life going? I can’t tell you, I don’t know
Where is my life going? I can’t tell you, I don’t know

Woe… ooh… woe… woe… ooh… woe
Woe… ooh… woe… woe… ooh… woe

New… that turns into known… that turns into same… that turns into old
Crush that turns into love, then taken for granted, ends up stone cold

Fields of velvet… cushion my fall from it all
Wild flowers… embrace me all, soothing my soul

Monday that turns into Tuesday, that turns into a life that’s quickly gone by
Monday that turns into Tuesday, that turns into wondering when, how, and why?
Monday that turns into Tuesday… and what the hell am I doing with my life?
Monday that turns into Monday that turns into Monday…

Can someone somewhere stop this? slow it down, make it pause?
Where is my life going? I can’t tell you, I don’t know!
I don’t know…
I don’t know.
