Some things in life, it gets too late to learn
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
Every time you leave and go off someplace,;
Things fall to pieces in my face
I must be guilty of something,;
You just whisper it into my ear.
Heart of mine be still,;
You can play with fire, But you'll get the bill
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
People disagreeing everywhere you look,;
Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
I just can't fit;
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,;
For the child that cries;
When innocence dies.
I was in your presence for an hour or so;
Or was it a day? I truly don't know.
In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,;
I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory,;
And all your ragin' glory.
Time is all I have to give
Silver and gold;
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
Shine your light, shine your light on me;
Ya know I just couldn't make it by myself.;
I'm a little too blind to see
Shall I hold you close?;
Or Shall I let you go by?;
Tell me.;
Tell me.
People ask about you;
I didn't tell them everything I knew
She once was a true love of mine
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
Saw you drift into infinity and come back again
I'm going out of my mind;
With a pain that stops and starts
I must admit I felt a little uneasy;
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
The pump don't work;
'Cause the vandals took the handles
