Lyrics: Modern Music on my radio Another station and another show If only I could let my feelings flow When you're lonely and you're far away When those steel guitars begin to play Please don't let them steal your heart away From me... I hear the rhythm of the rain begin A shining broadcast on a silver wind Will you recieve these programmes deep within? The moon is melting in a blazing sky I hear the flames sing but I don't know why I hope that only shadows see me cry For you... I feel like I'm Falling The music is calling me away Leave today... You know that I'm needing All the love that I'm leaving here with you A song for two... | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note =============================================================================== www.TAB6.com
