No knife could ever cut our love apart
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.
I wish that for just one time;
You could stand inside my shoes;
You'd know what a drag it is;
To see you
The world of illusion is at my door
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,;
If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
Just what do you think you have to guard?
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.
And you, you took me in,;
You loved me then;
You didn't waste time.
He bought me with a price,;
Freed me from the pit,;
Full of emptiness and wrath;
And the fire that burns in it.
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
It's many a guard;
That stands around smilin',;
Holdin' his club;
Like he was a king.
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past;
I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
she's true, like ice, like fire
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe;
"I thought you'd never say hello," she said;
"You look like the silent type."
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Now the moon is almost hidden;
The stars are beginning to hide;
The fortunetelling lady;
Has even taken all her things inside
Some things are too hot to touch;
The human mind can only stand so much
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?
People on the platforms;
Waiting for the trains;
I can hear their hearts a-beatin';
Like pendulums swinging on chains
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says,;
Carefully removes his fez,;
"Am I hearin' you right?"
Don't follow leaders;
Watch the parkin' meters
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
