Ive been sitting down here so long I composed a song. I wanna meet you Country gal. Every time she dance I wish I had the chance. Theres a river flowing in every man.
Coppermine, oh coppermine. My great-great grandfolk on my father's side. Used to work,in a coppermine - oh yeah. A penny here, a penny there. Won't you drop one in my waterwell.
The cold tonight seems more anxious to talk. Than he has seemed in nights before. Skinless face and yellow heart, he. Hesitates and I wait. All my stories are about the same things.
It's a clear night. How are you tonight. Its a bone white. Smile of a night. There are chimes. That chill my bones. . I know you don't know. Which way I will go.
A little song. A little dance. A little seltzer down yer pants. Lump o gold the size of yer head. A little bramble in yer bed. Happy day in a boat. Trade a heffer for a goat.
You've been gone much longer. Than you ever said you had the plan to. I'm just gonna wait 'till you come home. . Though I count the days, they're grey without you.
You ran cryin' to the bedroom. I ran off to the bar,. Another piece of heaven gone to hell,. the words we spoke in anger. just tore my world apart,. And I sat there feeling sorry for myself..
Caught your picture. in a cloud formation.. Sleeping Michelangelo,. angel in a bed of snow. that's what you are.. . Lift me up now don't explain.. Want you to come down like rain..
The seductive charm of innocence. Rapes your train of thought. A callous web of entrapment. The blind lead the blind... you know what I mean. Well i'm here to tell you.
When the sun goes down on the city street. And the shadows move through the night. Daddy's little angel begins her dance. To the beat of the flashing lights.
When first, I did appear upon this native soil. All up and down this country at labor I did toil. I slumbered in the moonlight and I rose with the sun.
There's a house on a hill. By a worn down weathered old mill. In the valley below where the river winds. There's no such thing as bad times. And a soft southern flame.
All you need is time. All you need is time, time, time to make me bend. Give it a try, don't be rude. Put it to the test and I'll give it right back to you.
I came down through Albany to New York. To find what I'd been missin'. I looked across the river to the city. Where the windows all stood glistenin'. I stood listenin'.
Island goodbye, island goodbye. We been too long together, my island and I. 'Cross the blue sea, 'cross the blue sea. We been too long together, my island and me.
Rows of lights in a circle of steel. Where you place your bets on a great big wheel. High windows flickerin' down through the snow. A time you know. .
I'm sailing down the summer wind. I got whiskers on my chin. And I like the mood I'm in. As I while away the time of day. In the lee of Christian Island.
His father was a man who could never understand. The shame on a red man's face. So they lived in the hills and they never came down. But to trade in the white man's place.
Sit by my side come as close as the air. Sharin' a memory of grey. And wander in my words. And dream about the pictures that I play. Of changes. . Green leaves of summer turn red in the fall.
Pickin' up the pieces of my sweet shattered dream. I wonder how the old folks are tonight. Her name was Ann and I'll be damned if I recall her face. She left me not knowin' what to do.
