I see a bad moon risin' I see trouble on the way. I see earthquakes and lightenin' and I see bad times each day. Don't fool round tonight it's bound to take your life there's a bad moon on the rise.
Girl you're gettin' that look in your eyes and it's startin' to worry me. I ain't ready for no family ties nobody's gonna hurry me. Just keep it friendly girl cause I don't want to leave.
I had a broken heart and a broken heel and a break down when those big old wheels. left with him and left me in a cloud of Deep old dust. she was sitting there with her beehive hair and said honey that's a waste of good mascara, she handed me a pink klenex and i'll never forget what she said next..
Where are you goin' there?. With your suitcase by the back porch stairs. With my heart in your hand. In this cold December wind again. . Cafes and bars are closed.
Oh, I'm sailing away, my own true love. I'm sailing away in the morning. Is there something I can send you from across the sea?. From the place where I'll be landing?.
After you go. I can catch up on my reading. And after you go. I'll have a lot more time for sleeping. . And when you're gone. Looks like things are gonna be a lot easier.
In 1914, this ball was at war. It went from Belgium on through Ireland. The Congo, then back home. . This big blue ball of war spun on it's own. Spinning history in lines of blood.
I dreamed of Louisiana. And a night in Lafayette. We had breakfast with Susanna. We were young and wild and left. . Whats different here. Than in that dream and in reality.
Heres a photograph of you in Woody Hermanns band. It was 1952, you were such a handsome man. One of you at a memorial with all of Hoagys clan. And then you and my mother, walking hand in hand.
Gonna wake up crazy to the cry of the trains on Beacon Street. So far from home, so far from love, so far from a friend in need. And all I need is a heart to hold and a good night's sleep.
I live on a battlefield. Surrounded by the ruins of a love we built. And then destroyed between us, the smoke has cleared. As I stumble through the rubble, I'm dazed and seein' double.
Well I'm goin' back where my garden blooms all year. Where the wintertime speaks softly in the fallin' rain. And I'm goin' back to my green eyed lover there.
They both wrote poetry. In fact, that was how they met. He was a Yorkshire man in Cambridge. She was from Massachusetts. . They spoke and they fell in love.
Now I live across town from the only one I love. No woman wants a man that drinks too much. I know she'd take me back again if I could quit for good. Lord knows I'd quit if I could.
Like old Dr Pepper sometimes she's misunderstood. And like the Pernal's Chicken boys she's fingelicking good. She knows when I need her and she's always super quit.
I've finally found a place where I can take it. all this loneliness you left behind.. On a mountain that's no hill for a climber.. Just one step up, sit back and pour the wine..
A long time of loving her good timing man. He's fightin' his future in a hillbilly band. He promisses the good life and a big diamond ring. All she wants is a baby and a sewing machine.
If there was anyway out. Where I could slip away. Take my heart with me. . If there was anyway out. Where I could slip away. And leave my mind at ease.
Yeah. You wanna be successful. You wanna be the president. You wanna be the life of the party. Everybody's friend. . You wanna be original. Make a difference in this world.
I'm barely hanging on, losing my grip. The hold that I had so strong is starting to slip. I'm trying so hard to hold up my guard. To paint a picture like I'm so tough.
