I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate

Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

Your cracked country lips,;
I still wish to kiss,;
As to be under the strength of your skin.

I stood unwound beneath the skies;
And clouds unbound by laws.

The night passed away so quickly;
It always does when you're with me.

Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.

I wasn't born to lose you.

The walls of pride are high and wide;
Can't see over to the other side;
It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay;
It's sadder still, to feel your heart torn away

For the loser now;
Will be later to win

Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer;
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.

Now, don't crowd me, lady;
Or I'll fill up your shoe

Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder

Don’t think twice, it’s all right

Those are the hill of heaven, my love;
You and I'll never know

You could ride like Annie Oakley,;
You could shoot like Belle Starr.

Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,;
Pray that I don't die of thirst,;
Baby, two feet from the well.

she's true, like ice, like fire

And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,;
And the dust of rumors covers me.

take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind

I can smile in the face of mankind.;
Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine;
Most of the time.

They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.

it is not he or she or them or it;
That you belong to.

Dark Beauty;
Meet me at the border late tonight

The door has closed forevermore If indeed there ever was a door

You'd better do somethin' quick;
She's your lover now.

Nobody feels any pain

It's many a guard;
That stands around smilin',;
Holdin' his club;
Like he was a king.

I've been walking through the middle of nowhere;
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door

You will search, babe, At any cost.;
But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?

Turn your back, wash your hands,;
There's always someone who understands

Will I ever learn that there'll be no peace, that the war won't cease;
Until He returns?

Time is all I have to give

People on the platforms;
Waiting for the trains;
I can hear their hearts a-beatin';
Like pendulums swinging on chains

Well, they're not showing any lights tonight;
And there's no moon.

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.

Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,;
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,;
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,;
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

Sooner or later, one of us must know;
That I really did try to get close to you

I must be guilty of something,;
You just whisper it into my ear.

I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me

I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.

Can't you hear that motor turnin'?;
Automobile comin' into style

Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud;
Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood

Everybody must get stoned.

I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too";
He said, "You're not Him"

There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,;
Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances

Gonna sleep down in the parlor;
And relive my dreams

I'm in the streets;
With the tombstone blues

Yes, I see you on your window ledge;
But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge

I'm goin' down to Tennessee,;
Get me a truck 'r somethin'.;
Gonna save my money and rip it up!

Lost time is not found again

Your loyalty is not to me;
But to the stars above

You were trying to break into another world;
A world I never knew.;
I always kind of wondered;
If you ever made it through.

he not busy being born, Is busy dying

Let me ask you one question;
Is your money that good

Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams?

But the magician is quicker and his game;
Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink

Tell ev'rybody;
Down in ol' 'Frisco;
That Tiny Montgomery's comin';
Down to say Hello
