People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
An' here I sit so patiently; Waiting to find out what price; You have to pay to get out of; Going through all these things twice.
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
She knows where I'd like to be; But it doesn't matter.
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
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.
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
We grew up together; From the cradle to the grave; We died and were reborn; And then mysteriously saved.
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,; Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
Tough Mama; Can I blow a little smoke on you?
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
I finally realize there's no room for regret
Because something is happening here; But you don't know what it is; Do you, Mister Jones?
But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime; Or is it just solid rock?
When I'm all alone; In the great unknown,; I'll remember you.
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
Have I surrendered to the will of God; Or am I still acting like the boss?
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
Time is all I have to give
Every day of the year's like playin' Russian roulette
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
Roses are red, violets are blue; And time is beginning to crawl
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'm glad to see you're still alive, you're lookin' like a saint.
If your mem'ry serves you well,; You'll remember you're the one; That called on me to call on them; To get you your favors done.
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
You should be made; To wear earphones
Well, I asked for something to eat; I'm hungry as a hog; So I get brown rice, seaweed; And a dirty hot dog
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to; Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
We always did feel the same,; We just saw it from a different point of view
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
How did I meet you? I don't know.
Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
We're both just one too many mornings; An' a thousand miles behind.
When the last rays of daylight go down; Buddy, you'll roll no more; I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard; I wonder who they're ringing for
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,; Nobody stops to ask why.
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,; Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
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
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
If you're looking for assistance, babe,; Or if you just want some company; Or if you just want a friend you can talk to,; Honey, come and see about me.
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
