Our conversation was short and sweet;
It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
Wallflower, wallflower;
Take a chance on me.;
Please let me ride you home.
And you, you took me in,;
You loved me then;
You didn't waste time.
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
And now the heart is filled with gold;
As if it was a purse.;
But, oh, what kind of love is this;
Which goes from bad to worse?
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.;
You can't walk the streets in a war
Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
people don’t live or die, people just float
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
And they're breaking down the distance;
Between right and wrong.
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,;
I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
She got a weird sense of humor that's all her own
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
Have I surrendered to the will of God;
Or am I still acting like the boss?
When you know as well as me;
You'd rather see me paralyzed
I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you.;
I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard 'em too.
You know, the streets are filled with vipers;
Who've lost all ray of hope,;
You know, it ain't even safe no more;
In the palace of the Pope.
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells;
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
Just do your thing, you'll be king;
If dogs run free.
They don't want me around;
'Cause I believe in you.
Tell ev'rybody;
Down in ol' 'Frisco;
That Tiny Montgomery's comin';
Down to say Hello
If you're lookin' to get silly;
You better go back to from where you came
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go;
To the valley below
Last night I danced with a stranger;
But she just reminded me you were the one
We always did feel the same,;
We just saw it from a different point of view
