Rez Band - Hostage - Tears in the Rain

The song "Tears in the Rain" from the Resurrection Band album "Hostage"
Lyrics:
Someone in the doorway, braced against the cold,
Red brick against his back; he thought he'd been so bold
With bitterness inside him he recalled her face and name,
She told him that she loved him; he told her the same and walked away.

Still her face before him, his guitar began to play,
The band rocked on behind him, the crowd begun to sway,
His album climbed the charts like a bullet from a gun,
Fans numbered in the thousands, and he was number one.

Dreamer dreaming dreams of youth,
Dreams of days gone by,
Dreams are spun by liars who won't release the lie,
There's murder in money, prison in fame,
Danger in love, and tears in the rain.

There's murder in money, prison in fame,
Danger in love, and tears in the rain.

He stood in a silhouette; at last he wore the crown,
Desire of a lifetime: on stage in his hometown,
And in the street outside was a long-forgotten face,
Praying for the dreamer, she wept for the boy's mistakes.

Dreamer dreaming dreams of youth,
Dreams of days gone by,
Dreams are spun by liars who won't release the lie,
There's murder in money, prison in fame,
Danger in love, and tears in the rain.

And as he left the theatre in his limousine, he saw her in an instant,
Felt the breath of their lost dreams,
But rock and roll was calling; the spotlight never waits,
A crying girl and her God watched him move on to his fate.

@stitch16261 nah, there on there. kinda hard to find sometimes. I'll message you the playlist. (still can't believe youtube doesn't allow links in comments... eh..

I do need to fix the playlist order to reflect the order of the songs on the cassette I have, but kinda busy at the moment. :) I'm glad you like the songs. Rez was my favorite growing up.

I like listening to shooting Star by Bad company when I hear this like putting a story together ya dig?

[bmcelhattan]

@MyRetrofavsplus yeah.. quite a story to tell in this song. Lots of wisdom, too... wish i would've listened to the "danger in love" part a little more closely when I first bought this cassette all those years ago...

[timekeeyper]

man the memories and the places this song takes me, the opening guitar run by Glenn, it used to and still does give me chills, I used to air drum to this thanks for posting this tape

[PSamMusicMan]

This album seemed to have a much different mood than the others... it was much more deep and reflective, even sad... but I couldn't stop playing it when I was a teenager...

I've learned a lot about the truth of Christianity since I bought this cassette, but I miss the "extended family' my old church Youth Group.

Rez band became my fav band way back in the day, even over Petra and Carmen. Even today it speaks to me in a way I cannot describe, it pulls at my Spirit and relaxes me at the same time, that way i guess all good music should

[MyRetrofavsplus]

I always liked playing this song next to shooting star by bad company like 2 perspective ya dig?
