Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells; I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,; Nobody stops to ask why.
Yes, I see you on your window ledge; But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
I'm sick of love but I'm in the thick of it
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain; You give something up for everything you gain
When there is no more,; You cut to the core; Quicker than anyone I knew.
Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man.
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
Your temperature's too hot for taming
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
Always on the outside of whatever side there was,; When they asked him why it had to be that way, "Well," he answered, "just because."
When I met you, baby,; You didn't show no visible scars.
Dark Beauty; Meet me at the border late tonight
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
People tell me it's a sin; To know and feel too much within.
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?; If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
She's got everything she needs,; She's an artist, she don't look back
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
And they're breaking down the distance; Between right and wrong.
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
Where black is the color, where none is the number
Oh it's rush hour now; On the wheel and the plow; And the sun is going down; Upon the sacred cow.
In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear,; It's done with a flick of the wrist.
Well, I asked for something to eat; I'm hungry as a hog; So I get brown rice, seaweed; And a dirty hot dog
Whatever you wanted; Slipped out of my mind
How did I meet you? I don't know.
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live,; When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere; Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
She got a weird sense of humor that's all her own
The vagabond who's rapping at your door; Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand; In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.
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
I wish that for just one time; You could stand inside my shoes; You'd know what a drag it is; To see you
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
You got a lotta nerve; To say you are my friend
We're both just one too many mornings; An' a thousand miles behind.
I don't need any reminder; To know how much I really care
Temptation's not an easy thing
time is running backwards
Junk is piling up, taking up space
you remind me of something that used to be; somethin' that crossed over from another century
You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag.; Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag.
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave,; "Let's go and play Adam and Eve."; I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'; When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin',; You see what happened last time they started."
I see, I see lovers in the meadow; I see, I see silhouettes in the window; I watch them 'til they're gone and they leave me hanging on ; To a shadow
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,; Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me; And I do not really need to be; Assured that love is just a four-letter word
