Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties; Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
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.
Have I surrendered to the will of God; Or am I still acting like the boss?
I'm in a cowboy band
The night passed away so quickly; It always does when you're with me.
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
You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live,; When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give
And you never ask questions; When God's on your side.
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea; Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
If you're lookin' to get silly; You better go back to from where you came
And the words that are used; For to get the ship confused; Will not be understood as they're spoken.
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
You can make me cry; Never say goodbye
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man; like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke,; How long must I suffer, Lord, how long must I be provoked?; Satan will give you a little taste, then he'll move in with rapid speed,; Lord keep my blind side covered and see that I don't bleed.
Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath; But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death.
Darkness at the break of noon
Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow
Go melt back into the night, babe,; Everything inside is made of stone.; There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.
No time to suffer or blink; And no time to think
Oh the fishes will laugh; As they swim out of the path; And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
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
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.
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
The sky is trembling, And I must leave.
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
I'm already there in my mind; And that's good enough for now
Last night I danced with a stranger; But she just reminded me you were the one
Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave,; "Let's go and play Adam and Eve."; I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'; When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin',; You see what happened last time they started."
Don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you; It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
Reality has always had too many heads
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
My so-called friends have fallen under a spell.; They look me squarely in the eye and they say, "All is well."; Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high; When men will beg God to kill them and they won't be able to die?
You got a lotta nerve; To say you are my friend
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
I finally realize there's no room for regret
Democracy don't rule the world,; You'd better get that in your head.; This world is ruled by violence; But I guess that's better left unsaid.
If dogs run free, why not me; Across the swamp of time?
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
She says, "What'll it be?"; I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
A million faces at my feet; But all I see are dark eyes
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
