Uriah Heep - Salisbury Lyrics






Somewhere in your eyes
That very special glow
Something drawing me
To where I do not know
I never really thought
That I would lose myself
Now I'm going faster
Than anybody else

You move without a sound
And touch me with your hand
Just like the rain that fondles
Every grain of sand
This thing we're gonna do
It's just for you and me
I'm gonna make it good
Good as it can be

Your kiss is sweeter now
Your breath is getting warm
We must take our time
And last it through til dawn
I wonder will it be
Oh, I expect it to
There have been other girls
No-one else like you

I feel a power here
I never felt before
And I begin to see
What drives us to want more
Oh, girl of all my dreams
Please tell me if I'm wrong
Because I've been blue
But we belong

As time passed and all too fast
I just knew we couldn't last
And I guessed that the end
Was near at hand
Though we tried our love inside
It just crumpled up and died
What went wrong
I will never understand

You tell me why
Alone again
How could you leave me
Alone again
I don't want to be
Alone again

There's a line in a rhyme
I was going to send to you
It says: "All that is to be
Will surely be"
So oh, though you had to go
'Cause you needed someone new
Is there still a chance
That you'll come back to me
I want you back you see

Alone again
How could you leave me
Alone again
How could you leave me
Alone again
I don't wanna be alone again

Somewhere in your eyes
That very special glow
Something drawing me
To where I do not know
I never really thought
That I would lose myself
But now I'm going faster
Than anybody else

You move without a sound
And touch me with your hand
Just like the waves that fondle
Every little grain of sand
This thing we're gonna do
It's just for you and me
And I'm gonna make it good
Just you wait and see

  28. w.... a....

    This has got to be one of my of favorites. I don,t ever remember hearing this on top 40 radio which I though was unfortunate. I always though top 40 short changed listeners as a whole by not these songs. a lot of good songs never got heard. back in the day when i lived in Greenville S.C. music stations were top 40 i could find only one it was in Charlston WCSC they would play what was called under ground they would play neat stuff you would,nt hear any else it was a 5000 watt station you could only pick it up at night the transmission would come and go but some nights you would get a clear transmission all night depending the atmasphereics.

  29. R.... ....

    When I heard this as a teen in the '70's i knew I had already heard the most fulfilling music of my life. Even now after I hear this I have to shut everything down and sit in silence, no more music for the rest of the day...

    R.... ....

    You, sir, are a poet...

  30. B.... d....

    the whole record is heavy

  31. W.... J....

    ,,,,,, underrated band - fact.

  32. M.... A....

    Masterpiece!

  33. �.... �....

    Нет слов байрон Хенсли Лоутон этими именами все сказано таких больше не будет

  34. t.... s....

    David Byron was one of the best Rocksingers of his time and maybe is one of the 20 best until today. Much better for example than Plant or Osbourne. He's to mention in one line with Dio, Tate, Gabriel.

  35. d.... m....

    Heep never did anything this good ever again

  36. c.... g....

    october 1971

    JUST GREAT........

  44. D.... H....

    People keep saying how underrated this band was. Not in my house! Their music was so much better than a lot of what was popular then. Poor mans' Deep Purple? Really? Have another listen. You'll see the light!

  45. s.... e....

    Inspector Gadget??

  46. M.... P....

    Best UH song

  47. M.... M....

    Brano stratosferico degli Uriah Heep del 1970, immenso con una perfomance di chitarre elettriche nella parte centrale, da urlo per la sua bellezza. Patrimonio mondiale dell'umanità. Like a chi l'ascolterà nel 2020 e anni successivi.

  48. M.... K....

    Up! Tinja&Markku

  49. P.... J....

    Why are British rock bands not knighted, YES, Uriah Heep, deep purple, black Sabbath it's not right mo Farah runs a race, wins, sir, he's not British 🇬🇧🇬🇧

  50. A.... T....

    Uma das 10 músicas mais bonitas da história do rock.

  53. M.... K....

    Dat solo 👌

  54. l.... a....

    Uriah Heep Salisbury (in the red album) was my first UH album-secondhand and perfect. Followed by Demons and Wizards, The Magicians Birthday and Fallen Angel. Long songs are classics that spark the imagination. Short songs call to mind our growing short attention spans and corporate greed, Long songs ignite imagination. I'm in search of triggers.

  55. D.... V....

    No puedo describir lo que yo sentí la primera vez que escuché esta canción....no consigo las palabras que lo describan y que yo quedé satisfecho....

  56. D.... 0....

    top 5 rock songs (my opinion)

    3. butterfly bleu iron butterfly
    4. in a gadda da vida iron butterfly
    5. july morning uriah heep

  57. �.... �....

    Ни кто не заметил , как похоже на стиль Дип Перпл ( первые альбомы)

  58. C.... S....

    Fantastic album and track. Heep are the epitome of English rock. I first heard Heep 41 years ago and they blew my mind follower ever since. Track knocks it out of the ball park. The other track and group that grabbed me same time as getting into Heep was Angel-The Fortune.

  59. R.... L....

    When I was 19 I spent a whole night listening to this track over and over. Loved it then and love it now, I`m 65.

    R.... L....

    Funny how certain songs at certain times leave a mark that never goes away. It's comforting.

    R.... L....

    I'm 64 but same same

    R.... L....

    Yep, I'm 68 and still love it. I had an old VW Beetle with an 8 track tape player and we would hit the highway for a long trip and play this over and over.

  60. h.... s....

    Obrigado

  61. �.... �....

    Как же можно так играть! Класс! Непревзойденно! Браво, браво, браво! И петь тоже! Вечная тебе память, Дэвид!

  62. L.... N....

    Masterpiece from the great Uriah Heep!

    L.... N....

    Great Band 🎵🎼🎶🎸😎👊

  63. S.... ....

    Magnificent.

  64. H.... N....

    Die beste Platte die jemals Uriah Hepp herausgebracht hat!! Leider gibt es keine Live-Aufnahmen!

    H.... N....

    echt schade, steven wilson sagte mal das viele album nur als studio aufnahmen geben wird(gibt), weil diese leider niemals live gespielt werden könnten...wie Storm Corrosion( ein projekt von wilson und Mikael Åkerfeldt)leider....

  65. p.... l....

    A heavy rock band trying to legitimise itself. Loved the album. Stick to what you know!

  66. R.... P....

    What. A. Song!

  67. J.... R....

    I can remember getting this album home and opening it. Man, what a find. Back in the late 70s.

  68. S.... M....

    54 thumbs down idiots.

  69. s.... ....

    Mick Box !! brrrrividi! Uriah Heep ... always loved.

  70. M.... A....

    Suite... fantastica! Uriah Heep!

  71. M.... L....

    Je les ai vus en con ert au festival de Bilzen ( Belgique ) dans les années 70❤

  72. D.... J....

    What a Great piece….One of the most kickass Uriah Heep tunes

  73. V.... B....

    Great!!! Super Legends!!!!

  74. M.... D....

    Há instrumentos de sopro nesse album?

  75. C.... H....

    Mick Box's 3 distinct guitar breaks in Salisbury although underrated prove him to be among the elite guitar players of our time. The 3 solos I'm referring start around 11:30.

    C.... H....

    Awesome track & incredible solo's, still got the album

  76. S.... O....

    My first Heep album. I was just turned 20 and fell in love immediately. What a classic. In my mind up there with BoRap ☺️

  77. E.... v....

    Miksi Juho Juntunen soitti tämän vuonna 1986 radiossa, vaikka siellä pitäisi kuulua kolmen minuutin kappaleita? Vaadin selitystä.

  78. B.... ....

    "Genial - Music"

  79. A.... B....

    Genial!!

  80. N.... A....

    Μέγιστο

  81. T.... B....

    I guess it's obvious people didn't style their hair yet. Including me. You had to go to cut it in Greenwich Village. They learned the new cut on us...

  82. T.... B....

    The Organs of the day were not as sophisticated , but sounded as tubes sounded to transistors.
    Warm sounding, like Vinyl to whatever is next on corporate horizons...

  83. J.... L....

    When I first heard this piece of masterpiece it was way way beyond anything that I experienced before. It has everything in there and the build up of the song from the beginning to the ending was just magnificent. After close to 50 years it still is an awesome piece of music.

    J.... L....

    Génial

  84. M.... J....

    Deep Purple ( Can hear Blackmore in there) 2:40 - 2:55 _ King Crimson 3:12 - 3:45 _ Led Zep 8:08 - 8:20 _ Nightwish 14:02 - 14:08 _ Henxdrix 12:39 - 12:44 _ Rory Gallagher 13:34 - 13:40 I Can also hear Srv, Chicago, Jethro tull and many more. This is a masterpiece!

    M.... J....

    Plus Ronnie James Dio, Deep Purple (organ), Van Der Graaf Generator, Cream and Jethro Tull (wah-wah) and the music from heaps of 70s US cop shows.

    M.... J....

    Потрясающий у тебя слух . Но здесь не хватает Pink Floyd

    M.... J....

    I don't understand how you can compare this group to other performers and not give credit to UH's talent as a whole. Maybe they set their own style and it happened to remind you of other artists. You do UH a disservice by mentioning just about anybody else without crediting Mick Box and his band mates for the great artists that they are.

    M.... J....

    @sportster16301 Very well said! I saw what they call the classic lineup after the release of Wonderworld in the 70's. I saw the current line up 3 times more recently, the last in May 2019. The where FANTASTIC. If you don't have their latest release "Livin' The Dream" GET IT! Fantastic!

  85. B.... v....

    Water Pip time fill with good old weed and listn to the keyborad blasten out some chop hits

  86. A.... G....

    I have tried several times to count minutes while listening to this mega-master piece of Prog-rock and each time I have lost my counts, got oblivious of the count with the superb performance of Hammond organ, bass, lead solo and the vocals of Hensely & Byron. Paul Newton rocks though I love Gary Thain like anything.

  87. D.... V....

    Out of this world ......absolutly fantastic.!!!!!!

  88. m.... d....

    Brilliant group there is only one Uriah heep fantastic music as always from this legendary group simply the best original group this country has ever had in my opinion.This is masterpiece why don't they get the recognition they deserve.Mick box a legend
