People tell me it's a sin;
To know and feel too much within.
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,;
To see that you're madly in love.
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
Last night I danced with a stranger;
But she just reminded me you were the one
Searching for my double, looking for;
Complete evaporation to the core
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain;
That could hold you dear lady from going insane
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
An' here I sit so patiently;
Waiting to find out what price;
You have to pay to get out of;
Going through all these things twice.
If dogs run free, why not me;
Across the swamp of time?
They tell me everything is gonna be all right;
But I don't know what "all right" even means
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.
Our conversation was short and sweet;
It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
He got an all girl orchestra and when he says;
"Strike up the band," they hit it
But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
While my conscience explodes;
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
No time to suffer or blink;
And no time to think
I'm going back to New York City;
I do believe I've had enough
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
Does she know I still care?
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
In the day of confession;
We cannot mock a soul.;
Oh, when there's too much of nothing,;
No one has control.
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
