They say ev'rything can be replaced
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
All my friends have told me;
If I hang around with you;
That I'll go blind
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,;
That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
All the laughter is just making me sad
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
And then you told me later, as I apologized;
That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
My head tells me it's time to make a change;
But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag.;
Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag.
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation;
There are no words that need to be said
Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues;
You can tell by the way she smiles
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath;
But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death.
Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly, He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie.
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,;
Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
We pointed out the way to go;
And scratched your name in sand,;
Though you just thought it was nothing more;
Than a place for you to stand.
Go melt back into the night, babe,;
Everything inside is made of stone.;
There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
Go 'way from my window,;
Leave at your own chosen speed.
Put your body next to mine;
And keep me company,;
There is plenty a room for all,;
So please don't elbow me.
A million faces at my feet;
But all I see are dark eyes
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
