Lyrics:
Emerson Lake

(Aaron Copland/arr. by Keith Emerson) instrumental

If you wanna leave, I won't beg you to stay And if you gotta go darling, maybe it's better that way I'm gonna be strong, I'm gonna do fine Don't worry

(Emerson/Palmer) instrumental

(Emerson, Lake, Palmer, Sinfield) Bass - playing in my face - grabbin' the elastic Drums - listen here she comes - hammerin' the plastic Keys - I play

Who'll make his mark The captain cried To the devil drink a toast We'll glut the hold With cups of gold And we'll feed the sea with ghosts I see your

I. The Stones Of Years Has the dawn ever seen your eyes? Have the days made you so unwise? Realize, you are. Had you talked to the winds of time, Then

Why do you stare Do you think that I care? You've been mislead By the thoughts in your head Your words waste and decay Nothing you say Reaches my ears

(instrumental)

Are you ready, Eddie, to turn out rock-and-roll? [Eddie edit, Eddie, Eddie edit] Are you ready, Eddie, ready to rock-and-roll? [Eddie edit, Eddie, Eddie
