lyrics
IF I COULD GET YOU ALONE
Well, I’m not a prophet
with the key to the Promised Land
but I’ve got a healing touch
right here in my hands
will you guard your secret heart
until the trumpets blow
do you think you’re safe behind
the walls of your Jericho
Well, I can’t tell the future, but this I know
they’d fall to the ground those, walls of stone
if I could get you alone
if I could get you alone
Now it’s time and circumstance
on every lover’s list
of what’s fair and isn’t fair
for every stolen kiss
sixty minutes each and every hour
you can count them all no doubt
but the measure of a lonely heart
is what it lives without
My dreams are like dragon’s teeth I’ve sown
they’d rise up and breathe fire of their own
if I could get you alone
if I could get you alone
If I were a thief of hearts
with a poet’s sharp blade
then my words would cut right through
the veil of your masquerade
don’t you feel the magic
anytime I hold you near
I’d stand against an army’s might
till your doubts disappeared
Well I’m not a king who’d claim his throne
but I’d pull the sword right from the stone
if I could get you alone
if I could get you alone
d. mularz
Well, I’m not a prophet
with the key to the Promised Land
but I’ve got a healing touch
right here in my hands
will you guard your secret heart
until the trumpets blow
do you think you’re safe behind
the walls of your Jericho
Well, I can’t tell the future, but this I know
they’d fall to the ground those, walls of stone
if I could get you alone
if I could get you alone
Now it’s time and circumstance
on every lover’s list
of what’s fair and isn’t fair
for every stolen kiss
sixty minutes each and every hour
you can count them all no doubt
but the measure of a lonely heart
is what it lives without
My dreams are like dragon’s teeth I’ve sown
they’d rise up and breathe fire of their own
if I could get you alone
if I could get you alone
If I were a thief of hearts
with a poet’s sharp blade
then my words would cut right through
the veil of your masquerade
don’t you feel the magic
anytime I hold you near
I’d stand against an army’s might
till your doubts disappeared
Well I’m not a king who’d claim his throne
but I’d pull the sword right from the stone
if I could get you alone
if I could get you alone

about
Dark Horse Flyer Coconut Creek, Florida
Dark Horse Flyer’s thought provoking songs, virtuosic three-guitar frontline, and ass-shaking rhythm section put the South Florida-based sextet alongside “songwriters with chops” artists like Gov’t Mule and the Black Crowes. And the band’s fascinating story of artistic determination and friendships imbues its music with inspiring truths of life. ... more
