I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
The angels play on their horns all day,; The whole earth in progression seems to pass by.; But does anyone hear the music they play,; Does anyone even try?
Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame; I never did see no fire that could put out a flame.
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
Every time you leave and go off someplace,; Things fall to pieces in my face
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe; "I thought you'd never say hello," she said; "You look like the silent type."
Oh the fishes will laugh; As they swim out of the path; And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
If the bible is right, the world will explode
At the corrida we'll sit in the shade; And watch the young torero stand alone.; We'll drink tequila where our grandfathers stayed; When they rode with Villa into Torreon.
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
Can you tell me what we're waiting for, senor?
I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you.; I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard 'em too.
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
I still can remember the way that you smiled
I want to thank You, Lord,; I just want to thank You, Lord,; Thank You, Lord.
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
I was in your presence for an hour or so; Or was it a day? I truly don't know.
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
Saw you drift into infinity and come back again
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?; I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
All the laughter is just making me sad
There's only one step down from here, baby,; It's called the land of permanent bliss.
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.
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
Now, don't crowd me, lady; Or I'll fill up your shoe
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
Have I surrendered to the will of God; Or am I still acting like the boss?
You could ride like Annie Oakley,; You could shoot like Belle Starr.
I like the cool way you look at me,; Everything about you is bringing me; Misery.
Gon' walk on down until I'm right beside the sun; I'm gonna have to put up a barrier to keep myself away from everyone.
Oh, the only decent thing I did when I worked as a postal clerk; Was to haul your picture down off the wall near the cage where I used to work.; Was I a fool or not to try to protect your identity?; You looked a little burned out, my friend,; I thought it might be up to me.
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
The night passed away so quickly; It always does when you're with me.
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
the cops don't need you; and man they expect the same
People are crazy and times are strange
No time to suffer or blink; And no time to think
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
You know, news of you has come down the line; Even before ya came in the door.; They say in your father's house, there's many mansions; Each one of them got a fireproof floor.
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
You cast your spell and I went under,; I find it so difficult to leave.
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
And I, I don't mind the pain; Don't mind the driving rain; I know I will sustain; 'Cause I believe in you.
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to; Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
I'm going out of my mind; With a pain that stops and starts
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave
