Gon' walk on down until I'm right beside the sun;
I'm gonna have to put up a barrier to keep myself away from everyone.
You could make me cry if you don't know.
You will search, babe, At any cost.;
But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
Oh the fishes will laugh;
As they swim out of the path;
And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
We never thought we could ever get old.;
We thought we could sit forever in fun
You were snow, you were rain;
You were striped, you were plain,;
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.
Then she says, "I know you're an artist, draw a picture of me!";
I say, "I would if I could, but, ;
I don't do sketches from memory."
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
And the words that are used;
For to get the ship confused;
Will not be understood as they're spoken.
Satan whispers to ya, "Well, I don't want to bore ya,;
But when ya get tired of the Miss So-and-so I got another woman for ya."
Gonna sleep down in the parlor;
And relive my dreams
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
Your loyalty is not to me;
But to the stars above
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.;
You can't walk the streets in a war
My head tells me it's time to make a change;
But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
Do you know where we're headin'?;
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
But the magician is quicker and his game;
Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
Your temperature's too hot for taming
I'll give you more gold;
Than your apron can hold;
If you'll only let your hair hang low
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting;
That's hanging in the Louvre
Not one more night, not one more kiss,;
Not this time baby, no more of this,;
Takes too much skill, takes too much will,;
It's revealing.
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
How did I meet you? I don't know.
I'm hungry and I'm irritable;
And I'm tired of this bag of tricks.;
At one time there was nothing wrong with me;
That you could not fix.
Tell ev'rybody;
Down in ol' 'Frisco;
That Tiny Montgomery's comin';
Down to say Hello
