Come all brother tradesment that travel along. O pray, come and tell me where the trade is all gone. Long time have I travelled, and I cannot find none.
Oh, I know wanna sound weak. Is lookin' old and time to seek. While the hooker in the doorway. Leaves to turn another cheek. . And the jukebox in the Camberlay.
Lady it's just your style the way you close your eyes and smile. When I hold you close and kiss you. The way you touch my hand, you always seem to understand.
Just you and me and a little white pup. Sittin' here waiting for the sun to come up. To keep the chill away. . Drinkin' our coffee at the first crack of dawn.
He never had much but he saved enough. To buy a souped up Chevrolet. For years he drove them little dirt tracks. Tryin' to make himself a name. Until one night down in Gainesville.
Judas Iscariot how did you feel as you watched them take him away. And you Simon Peter what did you think when you betrayed him at the break of day. Did your heart break down inside from the bitter tears you cried.
I was blinded by bright lights, lost in the darkness. And sin kept my life in a whirl. Lust, greed and money and sensual pleasures. Marked the boundaries of my narrow world.
Freckles form a line around your face. And I get lost when I try to find my way. And I start to tumble down. Pick me back up off the ground. Teardrops boiling in a pot of gold.
Yeah I need meaning. As much as I need air to fill these old lungs of mine. I didn't notice but I've been holding my breath as long as I've been alive.
The indecencies of city streets. The cleaners' sweeping trucks from nine to noon. And the factories make clouds. To keep the sun from being jealous like the moon.
The wife forgave the mistress. For she only entertained. The pain was gone the instant. She cleared her throat to speak her name. Said, Both of us must suffer.
How many lights do you see?. How many lights do you see?. . There's one to say that night has come. And there's one that guards this jagged shore. And there's one to call the children home.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,. Let your heart be light. From now on,. our troubles will be out of sight. Have yourself a merry little Christmas night..
I'm staring out into that vacuum again. From the back porch of my mind. The only thing that's alive. I'm all there is. . And I start attacking my vodka stab the ice with my straw.
All eyes on the calendar. Another year I claim of total indifference. To here, the days pile up. With decisions to be made, I'm sure all of them were wrong.
The phone slips from a loose grip. Words were missed, then some apology. I didn't want to tell you this. No, it's just some guy she's been hanging out with.
Pilgrim across the water. We are the same, brother. Hitchhiking back to Zion. Holding our tears as we flip the album. What if this leads to ruin?. You got a soul, use it.
Forever lost in comparisons. Between you and the better man. Yeah you're always so quick. To take a bow. I've got to laugh at your circus sympathy. And your postcard sincerity.
Sun breaks I can't wait. Til I'll be on my way again. I'm sick and tired of waiting. With nothing to do. Watching the rain through a crack. In the window.
Don't you know that we're out of touch,. Yeah, we fight too much,. How'd we ever get so messed up?. Every night, we say the craziest things. You know our words they once had wings..
