I'm going back to New York City;
I do believe I've had enough
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got;
Seen better times, but who has not?
I want to thank You, Lord,;
I just want to thank You, Lord,;
Thank You, Lord.
I got nothing left to burn
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
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
Oh my name it is nothin';
My age it means less
They say ev'rything can be replaced
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.;
Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,;
I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
You got a lotta nerve;
To say you are my friend
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,;
Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
I'm already there in my mind;
And that's good enough for now
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
Every day of the year's like playin' Russian roulette
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea;
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
I wish that for just one time;
You could stand inside my shoes;
You'd know what a drag it is;
To see you
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.
You were trying to break into another world;
A world I never knew.;
I always kind of wondered;
If you ever made it through.
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."
All I really want to do,;
Is, baby, be friends with you.
She said, "Be easy, baby,;
There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
Tell ev'rybody;
Down in ol' 'Frisco;
That Tiny Montgomery's comin';
Down to say Hello
My children will go, As soon as they grow.;
Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
I stood unwound beneath the skies;
And clouds unbound by laws.
Don't trust me to show you love;
When my love may be only lust.
Every brain is civilized,;
Every nerve is analyzed,;
Everything is criticized when you are in need.
