Passing through Memphis one night in May. Saw her waiting tables at a Beal Street Blues Cafe. The band was playing strong but she was center stage. . Straight from the Delta, off to see the world.
Slow down!. This is slippin' through my mind, the conversation has run out of time.. Honey, I know you know what I mean, and that's the one thing that you soon will find....
Slow down this is slippin' through my mind,. This conversation has run out of time.. Honey I know you know what I mean,. And that's the one thing that you soon will find..
I fall down,. But I will get back up again,. I'm finally on solid ground,. And the games they've come to end,. . You don't know,. The things I've done,.
They search, they light this place. A face of the fearless. To wait the night, it's calm. But you're starting to hear this. . It moves so fast, stops hearts.
When you see your breath in the frozen night. When your hope is on the guard. Theres a rushing breath, theres a new design. When the poison fills your heart.
You are my one true love. You are the voice that is so sweet. In everything I do, you bring the best out of me. You are my wings to fly. You are the wind beneath them.
crusty eyes and greasy grins. inhaling smoke from the valve gasket again. coffee 4am, drunk again by noon. shit stained couch through the midwest. blasting 80's tunes.
To you I dedicate these empty words you left me with. For now an empty portrait of your face is all I have. You left me with nothing except a broken heart.
When you need somebody. When you want to cry your fears. When you feel the world is against you. And what you got is only memories. Know that I'll be there for you.
.. As long as winds will blow. My pride will be. And a star will shine. >From far away.... ...As long as winds will blow. My pride will be. And hate remains.
A cheek was beckoned. By a tear. A hand on a sword. And a whispering to hear. . A word never spoken. A deed never done. Time now is near. Farewell my son....
The four hooves echo in the night. Pictures of deepest fear reflect in your eyes. Like a fire in your soul. Burst through the forest of the wild. The full moon beholds from its starlit sky.
The memory lingers on of the arrival of dawn.. They saw the beacon aflame,. Burning with sorrow for the lives that would be lost.. And the troops went ashore,.
I'm thirsty, oh lord, i'm so thirsty. Pour 'em and lay me on down. I'm thirsty, oh lord, i'm so thirsty. Pour 'em and lay me on down.. . There's nothing but windmills and smokestacks.
Concentrating on my knees. Cause they're no help to me. I find myself with simple questions. And simple needs. Bleeding forces gather me. Undo my weakness and appease.
Right now theres an angel here. Shes in my arms. So now I can barely feel. She taking my heart away. And after this I know Ill never be the same. And I havent reached the stars tonight.
Homecoming parade. Welcome home my friend. Travelled long, sleeping on this forest floor. Open heaven's door. Coming 'round the bend. Welcome home my friend.
Tossed into my mind, stirring the calm. You splash me with beauty and pull me down. You come from out of nowhere. My glance truns to a stare. Obsession rules me - I'm yours from the start.
