    TEMPUS FUGIT
    Born in the night
    She would run like a leopard
    That freaks at the sight
    Of a mind close beside herself
    And the nearer I came
    How the country would change
    She was using the landscape
    To hide herself.
    More in the mind
    Than the body this feeling
    A sense at the end
    Of a circular line
    That is drawn at an angle
    I see when I'm with you
    To navigate waters and finally answer to-yes.
    If you were there you would want to be near me
    Innocence, you could hold all the materials
    And though nothing would really be living
    It would shock Your fall into landing light
    In the north sky time flies fast to the morning
    The cold of the dawn it meant nothing to us
    You were keeping your best situation
    An answer to-yes
    (Yes, Yes) And the moment I see you
    (Yes, Yes) It's so good to be near you
    (Yes, Yes) And the feeling you give me
    (Yes, Yes) Makes me want to be with you
    (Yes, Yes) From the moment you tell me - yes
    If you could see all the roads I have travelled
    Towards some unusable last equilibrium
    Run like an athlete and die like a dead beaten speed-freak
    An answer to all of your answers to-yes
    In the north sky time flies faster than morning
    The cold of the dawn it meant nothing to us
    You were keeping your best situation
    An answer to Yes
    (Yes, Yes) And the moment I see you
    (Yes, Yes) It's so good to be near you
    (Yes, Yes) And the feeling you give me
    (Yes, Yes) Makes me want to be with you
    (Yes, Yes) If we wait for an answer
    (Yes, Yes) Will the silence be broken
    (Yes, Yes) Should we wait for an answer
    (Yes, Yes) Do we leave it unspoken
    (Yes Yes Yes Yes . . .)

    Drama is the tenth studio album by British rock band Yes. It is the first Yes album without vocalist Jon Anderson. In early 1980, after rehearsing music for the follow-up to the tepidly-received Tormato, both Anderson and keyboardist Rick Wakeman departed the band over creative and financial differences.
    It was the only album without Anderson and with keyboardist Geoff Downes before Fly From Here in 2011, and is the only Yes album with Trevor Horn as lead vocalist; however he was later involved as producer in 90125 and Fly From Here. It is also Yes last album before the band disbanded in 1981, before reforming in 1982.

      @@karimnedal9714 I was 11 when i first heard it and my buddy's brother-in-law had a cherry red Rickenbacker for sale. I tried to sell everthing I owned at the time to buy it because of just that one song. I just didn't have the money. Never got one and became a mechanic instead. Later I was working at a m/c club racing track near LA and my rider, David DeLeon, was a professional bassist. Played on "The Blues Brothers" movie soundtrack amd also was the only guy to get credit playing on a Stanley Clarke album. Walter Becker used his base to record "Aja" too. We used to crank "Fragile" on the way to the track all the time. Guess I wasn't meant to be a musician.

    I liked Drama pretty well when it was released but even more now. Newer prog is very advanced as far as technical playing but the melodic stuff in old prog is still unmatched imhop. The many Yes records and tours I've bought/seen doesn't really compensate for the value of a lifetime worth of music enjoyment I've experienced with this band, and I still get into a deep meditative state that takes five minutes to come out of when I get the head phones out and listen to something like The Remembering.

It was only later that I found out that I was completely wrong and I found the absolute best songs like Roundabout, Close to the Edge, Awaken, Yours is no Disgrace, Starship Trooper, America, etc. However, I would say, forget about the old lineup for two seconds and appreciate this.
