And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
There's only one step down from here, baby,; It's called the land of permanent bliss.
You have explained every mystery.; What can I do for You?
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
You say you love me; And you're thinkin' of me,; But you know you could be wrong.
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
And they're breaking down the distance; Between right and wrong.
I'm glad to see you're still alive, you're lookin' like a saint.
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain; Pay for your ticket and don't complain
Your loyalty is not to me; But to the stars above
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
I wasn't born to lose you.
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
It's the ways of the flesh to war against the spirit; Twenty-four hours a day you can feel it and you can hear it; Using all the devices under the sun.
If I ever lose her I will go insane; I go half crazy when she calls my name
It's many a guard; That stands around smilin',; Holdin' his club; Like he was a king.
Junk is piling up, taking up space
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
People tell me it's a sin; To know and feel too much within.
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
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.
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
I can't provide for you no easy answers,; Who are you that I should have to lie?
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
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
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
You speak to me; In sign language; As I'm eating a sandwich
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
Somebody's got to find your trail,; I guess it must be up to me.
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
We're idiots, babe.; It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Do you know where we're headin'?; Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
But the magician is quicker and his game; Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
Saw you drift into infinity and come back again
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
Every day of the year's like playin' Russian roulette
Oh the fishes will laugh; As they swim out of the path; And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
The country music station plays soft; but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
I wish that for just one time; You could stand inside my shoes; You'd know what a drag it is; To see you
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
I'm in a cowboy band
Well, you're so bad and nasty; But I love you, yes I do
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
If the bible is right, the world will explode
I stood unwound beneath the skies; And clouds unbound by laws.
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
