I've been hit too hard, I've seen too much; Nothing can heal me now, but your touch
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
When I met you, baby,; You didn't show no visible scars.
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
I'm in a cowboy band
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
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
There's only one step down from here, baby,; It's called the land of permanent bliss.
What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense; I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
Oh the fishes will laugh; As they swim out of the path; And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime; Or is it just solid rock?
If there's a poor boy on the street,; Then let him have my seat; 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
Has the record been breaking,; Did the needle just skip
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
When I'm all alone; In the great unknown,; I'll remember you.
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."
Every time you leave and go off someplace,; Things fall to pieces in my face
Now at midnight all the agents; And the superhuman crew; Come out and round up everyone; That knows more than they do
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,; I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,; Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart.
Do you know where we're headin'?; Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
How did I meet you? I don't know.
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Some things in life, it gets too late to learn
She knows there's no success like failure; And that failure's no success at all.
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss; In the valley of the missing link
Everything passes,; Everything changes,; Just do what you think you should do.
In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
May you always know the truth; And see the lights surrounding you.
So long, New York.; Howdy, East Orange.
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
goodbye's too good a word, gal; so I'll just say fare thee well
Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears; In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors; Lookin' into the lost forgotten years; For dignity
time is running backwards
Guess it's too late to say the things to you; That you needed to hear me say.
I can smile in the face of mankind.; Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine; Most of the time.
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
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've been walking through the middle of nowhere; Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
And if my thought-dreams could be seen, They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
She knows where I'd like to be; But it doesn't matter.
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
It's mighty funny; the end of time has just begun
I must admit I felt a little uneasy; When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
