[Intro]
It is so good to be here, thank you for coming
Osaka

[Verse 1]
Running down around the towns along the shore
When I was sixteen and on my own
No, I couldn't tell you what the hell those brakes were for
I was just trying to hear my song

[Verse 2]
Jimmie found his own sweet sound and won that free guitar
We'd all get in the van and play
Life became the Paradox, the Bear, the Rouge et Noir
And the stretch of road running to LA

[Chorus]
Pages turning
Pages we were years from learning
Straight into the night our hearts were flung
Better bring your own redemption when you come
To the barricades of heaven where I'm from

[Verse 3]
All the world was shining from those hills
The stars above and the lights below
Among those there to test their fortunes and their wills
I lost track of them long, long ago
[Chorus]
Pages turning
Pages we were years from learning
Straight into the night our hearts were flung
Better bring your own redemption when you come
To the barricades of heaven where I'm from

[Bridge]
Childhood comes for me at night
Voices of my friends
Your face bathing me in light
A hope that never ends

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Pages turning
Pages torn and pages burning
Faded pages, open in the sun
Better bring your own redemption when you come
To the barricades of heaven where I'm from
Better bring your own redemption when you come
To the barricades of heaven where I'm from

[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Arigato
This is Val McCallum playing the guitar
And playing the pedal steel, lap steel guitars, Greg Leisz
This is kinda my dream band
That's actually, that's actually my real band
And a lot of other people's dream band
