Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,;
Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears;
In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors;
Lookin' into the lost forgotten years;
For dignity
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got;
Seen better times, but who has not?
And then you told me later, as I apologized;
That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
I wish that for just one time;
You could stand inside my shoes;
You'd know what a drag it is;
To see you
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,;
Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
Rock me, pretty baby, rock me 'til everything gets real;
Rock me for a little while, rock me 'til there's nothing left to feel;
And I'll rock you too
I was in your presence for an hour or so;
Or was it a day? I truly don't know.
All the tired horses in the sun;
How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,;
All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
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."
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun;
Would treat a father so,;
To wait upon him hand and foot;
And always tell him, "No"?
Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher,;
Wiggle 'til you vomit fire
Somebody's got to find your trail,;
I guess it must be up to me.
Well, if I had to do it all over again,;
Babe, I'd do it all over you.
Will I ever learn that there'll be no peace, that the war won't cease;
Until He returns?
They tell me everything is gonna be all right;
But I don't know what "all right" even means
Wallflower, wallflower;
Take a chance on me.;
Please let me ride you home.
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,;
And the dust of rumors covers me.
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.;
What can I do for You?
I just want you to know;
I can see through your masks
Roses are red, violets are blue;
And time is beginning to crawl
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,;
I can't unring the bell.
And you never ask questions;
When God's on your side.
