Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
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
Have you got some unfinished business?; Is there something holding you back?; Are you thinking for yourself; Or are you following the pack?
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,; See what you can do.; I can make it through,; You can make it too.
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
I'm going out of my mind; With a pain that stops and starts
I've been hit too hard, I've seen too much; Nothing can heal me now, but your touch
Could you ever be true?
don't criticize; what you can't understand.
Shall I hold you close?; Or Shall I let you go by?; Tell me.; Tell me.
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
Won't you come with me, baby?; I'll take you where you wanna go.; And if it don't work out, You'll be the first to know
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
Reality has always had too many heads
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
I'm in a cowboy band
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere; Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
Whatever you wanted; Slipped out of my mind
Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
I'd never say; That I done it the way; That you'd have liked me to.
Satan whispers to ya, "Well, I don't want to bore ya,; But when ya get tired of the Miss So-and-so I got another woman for ya."
You can make me cry; Never say goodbye
people don’t live or die, people just float
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
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
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.
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,; Makes you stop and all wonder why.
People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
I don't need any reminder; To know how much I really care
I finally realize there's no room for regret
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
Somebody's got to find your trail,; I guess it must be up to me.
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
You say my kisses are not like his,; But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
Will I ever learn that there'll be no peace, that the war won't cease; Until He returns?
When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
It's many a guard; That stands around smilin',; Holdin' his club; Like he was a king.
Everything passes,; Everything changes,; Just do what you think you should do.
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
We grew up together; From the cradle to the grave; We died and were reborn; And then mysteriously saved.
People tell me it's a sin; To know and feel too much within.
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
And the words that are used; For to get the ship confused; Will not be understood as they're spoken.
Well, I wake in the morning, Fold my hands and pray for rain.; I got a head full of ideas, That are drivin' me insane.
What good am I if I know and don't do,; I If I see and don't say, if I look right through 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.
If I ever lose her I will go insane; I go half crazy when she calls my name
