If you want to live easy
Baby pack your clothes with mine
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,;
To see that you're madly in love.
Don't trust me to show you beauty;
When beauty may only turn to rust.
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,;
And the dust of rumors covers me.
And they're breaking down the distance;
Between right and wrong.
You cast your spell and I went under,;
I find it so difficult to leave.
Gonna sleep down in the parlor;
And relive my dreams
When the last rays of daylight go down;
Buddy, you'll roll no more;
I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard;
I wonder who they're ringing for
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
For the loser now;
Will be later to win
For all eternity I think I will remember;
That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
Now, don't crowd me, lady;
Or I'll fill up your shoe
Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man.
That long black cloud is comin' down
Now the moon is almost hidden;
The stars are beginning to hide;
The fortunetelling lady;
Has even taken all her things inside
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
If I had wings and I could fly,;
I know where I would go.
It's many a guard;
That stands around smilin',;
Holdin' his club;
Like he was a king.
I must admit I felt a little uneasy;
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
Oh it's rush hour now;
On the wheel and the plow;
And the sun is going down;
Upon the sacred cow.
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
No knife could ever cut our love apart
Nations are angry, cursed are some,;
People are expecting a false peace to come.
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
You lose yourself, you reappear
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
You say you love me;
And you're thinkin' of me,;
But you know you could be wrong.
