as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
A million faces at my feet; But all I see are dark eyes
Precious angel, you believe me when I say; What God has given to us no man can take away.
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
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.
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
God is in heaven; And we all want what's his; But power and greed and corruptible seed; Seem to be all that there is
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
If he needs a third eye he just grows it
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow
She said, "Be easy, baby,; There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
What looks large from a distance,; Close up ain't never that big.
What good am I if I know and don't do,; I If I see and don't say, if I look right through you
At dawn my lover comes to me; And tells me of her dreams; With no attempts to shovel the glimpse; Into the ditch of what each one means
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,; Should I leave them by your gate,; Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain; You give something up for everything you gain
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
We're both just one too many mornings; An' a thousand miles behind.
All my friends have told me; If I hang around with you; That I'll go blind
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?; If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
Sooner or later, one of us must know; That I really did try to get close to you
Saw you drift into infinity and come back again
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
I got new eyes ; Everything looks far away
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels; Trying to peel the moon and expose it
In the day of confession; We cannot mock a soul.; Oh, when there's too much of nothing,; No one has control.
That long black cloud is comin' down
Wallflower, wallflower; Take a chance on me.; Please let me ride you home.
I was in your presence for an hour or so; Or was it a day? I truly don't know.
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
And you never ask questions; When God's on your side.
Shall I hold you close?; Or Shall I let you go by?; Tell me.; Tell me.
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?
Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink; Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
May you build a ladder to the stars; And climb on every rung.
don't criticize; what you can't understand.
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.
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
I'm sick of love but I'm in the thick of it
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,; I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,; Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart.
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
Your loyalty is not to me; But to the stars above
people don’t live or die, people just float
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke,; How long must I suffer, Lord, how long must I be provoked?; Satan will give you a little taste, then he'll move in with rapid speed,; Lord keep my blind side covered and see that I don't bleed.
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
Not one more night, not one more kiss,; Not this time baby, no more of this,; Takes too much skill, takes too much will,; It's revealing.
But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
