Now, don't crowd me, lady;
Or I'll fill up your shoe
Yes, I see you on your window ledge;
But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,;
Lay down the song you strum,;
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings;
No voice can hope to hum.
When you know as well as me;
You'd rather see me paralyzed
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
All the tired horses in the sun;
How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
And every one of them words rang true;
And glowed like burnin' coal;
Pourin' off of every page;
Like it was written in my soul from me to you
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
You were snow, you were rain;
You were striped, you were plain,;
I still can remember the way that you smiled
I just can't fit;
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,;
And the dust of rumors covers me.
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind;
You could have done better but I don't mind;
You just kinda wasted my precious time
Go 'way from my window,;
Leave at your own chosen speed.
My head tells me it's time to make a change;
But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
That long black cloud is comin' down
As the last fire truck from hell;
Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
The sky is trembling, And I must leave.
You don't want a love that's pure;
You wanna drown love;
You want a watered-down love
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
