I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
Somebody's got to find your trail,; I guess it must be up to me.
And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream
They said it was the land of milk and honey,; now they say it's the land of money.; Who ever thought they could ever make that stick.
When you know as well as me; You'd rather see me paralyzed
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells; I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
I just want you to know; I can see through your masks
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
For all eternity I think I will remember; That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously; But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
Well, if I had to do it all over again,; Babe, I'd do it all over you.
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
I'm listening to Neil Young, I gotta turn up the sound; Someone's always yelling turn it down
You say my kisses are not like his,; But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
She once was a true love of mine
Cities on fire, phones out of order
My heart's in the Highlands at the break of dawn; By the beautiful lake of the Black Swan; Big white clouds, like chariots that swing down low; Well my heart's in the Highlands; Only place left to go
Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say
I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man; like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
Run your fingers down my spine; Bring me a touch of bliss
Maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't; But not tonight and it won't be here; There are things I could say but I don't; I know the mercy of God must be near
Lost time is not found again
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
I couldn't see what you could show me; Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
I'm hungry and I'm irritable; And I'm tired of this bag of tricks.; At one time there was nothing wrong with me; That you could not fix.
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,; Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
I finally realize there's no room for regret
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
I'm glad to see you're still alive, you're lookin' like a saint.
And then you told me later, as I apologized; That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
I got new eyes ; Everything looks far away
Tell ev'rybody; Down in ol' 'Frisco; That Tiny Montgomery's comin'; Down to say Hello
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
you remind me of something that used to be; somethin' that crossed over from another century
Precious angel, you believe me when I say; What God has given to us no man can take away.
You could ride like Annie Oakley,; You could shoot like Belle Starr.
The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.
I'm going back to New York City; I do believe I've had enough
it is not he or she or them or it; That you belong to.
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
On the rising curve,; Where the ways of nature will test every nerve,; You won't get anything you don't deserve,; Where we were born in time.
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
