    CD: The D-Ts (The Davis-Tucker Songs)
    Credits: words: Paul Davis and Alan Tucker music: Alan Tucker

    Story Behind the Song
    Unlike the other seven songs on the CD, this came about music first. It started as a brief Mellotron theme and quickly grew from there. Lyrics were needed and it just so happened that the workbook of Paul's lyrics (that Alan had used in coming up with the other songs) provided a perfect drop-in for the nearly completed music.

    Lyrics
    I RODE THE FOUR WINDS ACROSS THE SEVEN SEAS
    LOOKING FOR THE REASON BUT I JUST CANNOT SEE
    YET, I CAN HEAR THE CRIES, I CAN HEAR THE CRIES

    AND IT WAS JUST BEHIND THE DOOR THAT I HEARD THE CRIES
    IT WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE THAT I HEARD THE CRIES

    I SAW IT SLIP THROUGH THE DOOR
    WAS ONLY A STEP BEHIND
    I SOUGHT THE TRUTH TO ADORE
    TO ENTER ENLIGHTENMENT, TO FIND PEACE OF MIND
    BUT THE WAY WAS BLOCKED, THE DOOR WAS LOCKED

    AND IT WAS JUST BEHIND THE DOOR THAT I HEARD THE CRIES
    IT WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE THAT I HEARD THE CRIES

    I'VE SEARCHED FOR THE RHYME AND I'VE LOOKED FOR THE REASON
    I KEEP AN EYE ON THE TIME
    I KEEP WAITING FOR THE SEASON
    BUT IT JUST WON'T COME
    IT JUST NEVER COMES

    I'VE VISITED THE PROMISED LAND WITH A HOPE TO UNDERSTAND
    AND I WENT TO THE JOSHUA TREE HOPING THAT IT WOULD COME TO ME
    BUT ALL THERE WAS, WAS CRIES
    THE DESERT WINDS ECHOED CRIES

    I KEEP WATCHING THRU THE WINDOW
    WITH AN EYE ON THE HORIZON
    THESE DAYS I JUST DON'T KNOW
    WAS IT ALL JUST AN ILLUSION?
    WAS IT ALL JUST LIES?
    THE WINDS ECHOING LIES

    AND IT WAS JUST BEHIND THE DOOR THAT I HEARD THE CRIES
    AND IT WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE THAT I HEARD THE CRIES
    OR WAS IT ALL JUST AN ILLUSION?
    THE WINDS ECHOING LIES
