Fugitive 03:56
I'm a fugitive from life I've been running for some time Can't you just leave me alone? Let me die upon this throne Time keeps slipping by Can't keep track of time Everyone is gone I'm a fugitive from life I've been running for too long I'm a fugitive from life I've been running for too long I'm a fugitive from life I've been running for some time Tried to find some peace of mind Your objections are not kind I know it's hard to show it Set me free, why don't ya? Guide me to a bitter phrase I'm a fugitive from life I've been running for too long I'm a fugitive from life I've been running for some time I'm a fugitive from life I've been running for too long Can't you just leave me alone? Let me die upon this throne

Gypsy 04:19
The gypsy told me as we looked into the flames And then she showed me as she looked above my face She told me stories as we sat under the stars And then she waved her hands and I was in her arms In her arms Gypsy, won't you tell me what you know? You know I've lost my way, got no place to go Gypsy, won't you tell me what you know? You know I've lost my way, got no place to go Queen looked up to the stars and counted one by one And then the moment came and there was only one You know I had to go before the heat of day She waved her hands above and I was on my way On my way Gypsy, won't you tell me what you know? You know I've lost my way, got no place to go Gypsy, won't you tell me what you know? You know I've lost my way, got no place to go Raise yourselves Search for your horizon Before the darkness comes Gypsy, won't you tell me what you know? You know I've lost my way, got no place to go Gypsy, won't you tell me what you know? You know I've lost my way, got no place to go

I tried to give you some affection But baby you were so cold Tried to give you some direction But you didn't want to know Am I wrong or am I right? I've been trying to win this fight But I think I'm gonna lose I've been trying to win this fight Baby you gotta choose I can feel the trepidation Is it me or you? You know there's no consternation When you sing the blues So are you coming home Won't you let me know? I've been trying to win this fight But I think I'm gonna lose I've been trying to win this fight Baby you gotta choose Why must you drag me down Am I really not worth it baby I can't escape from you Your love has caught me true I've been trying to win this fight But I think I'm gonna lose I've been trying to win this fight Baby you gotta choose I've been trying to win this fight But I think I'm gonna lose I've been trying to win this fight Baby you gotta choose I've been trying to win this fight I've been trying to win this fight Baby you gotta choose

The reason I'm trying to call you Explain the mistakes that I made I've been trying to reach you No one answers It seemed our world was so right But then we failed by the way Please believe me I guess I'm trying to say I should have treated you just like a rose Spreading your leaves in the sun I should have treated you just like a rose So fragile but I didn't know Your eyes they seemed so strong Your soul it rose up above I guess I just didn't see You were fragile just like me The times we spent in the sand Thinking about the things we could've had Long days, longer nights I couldn't see you were right I should have treated you just like a rose Spreading your leaves in the sun I should have treated you just like a rose So fragile but I didn't know I should have treated you just like a rose Spreading your leaves in the sun I should have treated you just like a rose So fragile but I didn't know I should have treated you just like a rose Spreading your leaves in the sun I should have treated you just like a rose So fragile but I didn't know I should have treated you just like a rose Spreading your leaves in the sun I should have treated you just like a rose So fragile but I didn't know I should have treated you just like a rose Spreading your leaves in the sun I should have treated you just like a rose So fragile but I didn't know

I can only see it through my eyes How I wish that you could see Love is hope not fantasy If I'm wrong I'll apologize Maybe someday you'll realize That the light is not so far No one knows how long it will be I'll never give up To try to find that feeling again I'll never give up The world has changed but still I believe I guess what I'm trying to say If you believe then let me in Fortune's changed and so did I Hard to see and realize We thought time was far away We thought the days would never end But the years they slipped away Now we're here not much to say You have changed and so have I Not much time now left to cry Long days, longer nights These memories I'll keep alive I'll never give up To try to find that feeling again I'll never give up The world has changed but still I believe I'll never give up Even when it comes to the end I guess what I'm trying to say If you believe then let me in I'll never give up To try to find that feeling again I'll never give up The world has changed but still I believe I'll never give up Even when it comes to the end I guess what I'm trying to say If you still believe let me in I'll never give up If you believe then let me in

Saving Grace 04:15
I've been drowning in my soul I've been swimming in my fear The world has got me upside down There's no way back this time around Destiny won't you be my friend Take me to that place that never ends Saving grace Guess I left it in that other place Saving grace Now there's only sorrow, no more saving grace Now I'm drowning in my blood In an ocean full of lies The one that found his happiness Lives beneath the tree of life Destiny won't you be my friend Take me from that place that never ends Saving grace Guess I left it in that other place Saving grace Now there's only sorrow, no more saving grace Now I'm drowning in my blood In an ocean full of lies The one that found his happiness Lives beneath the tree of life Saving grace Guess I left it in that other place Saving grace Now there's no tomorrow, no more saving grace

I've tried to find Some peace of mind I've been searching for so long I've been looking in my soul Which way to go. I don't know In a desert full of dreams I've been wondering so it seems I've been trying to get Over the mountains to better days So hard to climb, but I'll find my way Each step I take brings a better day Get to the top so I can see It seemed I was sailing on an ocean blue No end in sight. Only an empty moon I've traveled so far The sun was rising On the horizon Over the mountains to better days So hard to climb, but I'll find my way Each step I take brings a better day Get to the top so I can see Over the mountains to better days So hard to climb, but I'll find my way Each step I take brings a better day Get to the top so I can see So I can see Get to the top so I can see

I Remember 03:47
Sometimes you lose your way, can't find the way back home Sometimes it's hard to say, that our love has gone away Seems like yesterday, that I first set eyes on you Time has passed us by, still I think of you It's been so hard to let you go I remember, all those things we had I remember, when we were not sad I remember, those better days But these memories, just won't fade away I remember The shining in your eyes, used to melt my soul That's why it's been so hard, to try to let you go I heard you find love, I am hoping that it is true Still I keep these memories, memories of you It's been so hard to let you go I remember all those things we had I remember when we were not sad I remember those better days But these memories just won't fade away I remember I remember all those things we had I remember when we were not sad I remember those better days But these memories just won't fade away I remember all those things we had I remember when we were not sad I remember those better days But these memories just won't fade away I remember

Lost In You 04:10
I gave up my love eternal I gave up my love to you Believed that it all was worth it We'd be forever Something has changed in me And something has changed in you You were lost in me I was lost in you There's no reason to say the word Our time is through We couldn't see These feelings so sad Have left me so blue This pain that I have Has broken me in two Something has changed in me And something has changed in you You were lost in me I was lost in you There's no reason to say the word Our time is through In this world it's so hard to see In this world so hard to be In my world I still love you You were lost in me I was lost in you There's no reason to say the word Our time is through We couldn't see We couldn't see

Santa Fe 04:24
I was born in LA By the ocean with the breeze Never saw no reason to leave Down on Sunset boulevard Stay up till the morning with my friends Then I'd sleep an hour or two Head up to my job It seems it never lasted too long When I got a little older I could see the world was changing, just like me All around there's too many people everywhere Just a crowd, it's too loud When I was traveling around the world always missing home Finally realized now maybe it's time to go Everything had changed I felt so alone So I packed up all my bags Started down a very lonely road Time to leave my home Searching for a new place That I could call my home I was riding in the desert on my old horse A bottle of whiskey to keep me company Along the way Cause I knew It would take some time to get to Santa Fe Out into the desert Someone told me there's a place Far away So if you're looking for me Maybe you might find me in a place Called Santa Fe Oh Santa Fe I need to find a place to get away Oh Santa Fe Far away, in Santa Fe Will I find some peace of mind Hope it's not too far away To find my way Santa Fe

about

You can feel that heat off the Sunset Strip and see that hair in the wind as Dokken bring their timeless convertible Ferrari rock ‘n’ roll power to the table with Heaven Comes Down, an unapologetic celebration of everything Dokken do best.

You want to rock? Sink your teeth into

“Fugitive”, which rides some shimmering guitar work courtesy of Jon Levin, Don Dokken imploring that “I’m a fugitive from life”, and if you want ballads, head on over to “I’ll Never Give Up”, hanging on that Coliseum chorus, Levin laying down a landmark solo. The pattern of Heaven Comes Down never falters in delivering the goods on both sides of the fence.

“Just Like A Rose” brings the Pacific Coast Highway into vision with its smooth, effortlessly-driven gears, and “Saving Grace” carries a mystical malevolence. But it is closer “Santa Fe” which is perhaps the most revealing, spare yet glorious moment, Don Dokken opening up with what amounts to a ‘life-moment biography’, a spartan acoustic arrangement allowing the rich yet road-driven vocals to frame what might well prove to be the defining moment of Dokken’s career.

Mixed by Kevin Shirley (Aerosmith, Iron Maiden, Joe Bonamassa) and produced by Bill Palmer and Don Dokken, fans will love it, neutrals will be wonderfully surprised by some of the ingredients within Heaven Comes Down
