Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night,; And the diamonds from the deepest ocean,; I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss,; For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.
Everybody's wearing a disguise; To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
May you build a ladder to the stars; And climb on every rung.
as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
All my friends have told me; If I hang around with you; That I'll go blind
She's a hypnotist collector
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
She said, "Be easy, baby,; There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
people don’t live or die, people just float
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
Mama, take this badge off of me
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud; Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
Can't you make any sound?
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.; Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
I'm in a cowboy band
Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
Lost time is not found again
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
Rock me, pretty baby, rock me 'til everything gets real; Rock me for a little while, rock me 'til there's nothing left to feel; And I'll rock you too
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
She says, "What'll it be?"; I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
Gonna sleep down in the parlor; And relive my dreams
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,; To see that you're madly in love.
Well, it's always been my nature to take chances; My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
Guess it's too late to say the things to you; That you needed to hear me say.
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Most of the time; I can't even be sure; If she was ever with me; Or if I was with her.
We grew up together; From the cradle to the grave; We died and were reborn; And then mysteriously saved.
I see people in the park forgetting their troubles and woes; They're drinking and dancing, wearing bright colored clothes; All the young men with their young women looking so good; Well, I'd trade places with any of them ; In a minute, if I could
Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says,; Carefully removes his fez,; "Am I hearin' you right?"
And I, I don't mind the pain; Don't mind the driving rain; I know I will sustain; 'Cause I believe in you.
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
it is not he or she or them or it; That you belong to.
Junk is piling up, taking up space
And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream
It was true that in his later years he would not carry a gun; "I'm around too many children," he'd say, "they should never know of one."
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
And the words that are used; For to get the ship confused; Will not be understood as they're spoken.
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
Give ya delusions of grandeur; And a evil eye; Give you idea that; You're too good to die
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
Now the moon is almost hidden; The stars are beginning to hide; The fortunetelling lady; Has even taken all her things inside
