I Opened My Eyes. (Music & Lyrics: Dave Shadow). Would You Have The Time. For My Imperfection. A Painstarking Analysis. . Of What I Am. You'Re A Vampire.
The lighthouse is open the storm's been exposed to the sea. I called the cab ride over to rescue me. The lines at the station cast shadows like a Michigan stream.
Tonight in Carolina, the bleachers are empty and quiet. Not a ball's been hit my way all night. I hit a grounder up the middle, but the shortstop made the play.
10 days ago you said you wanted to meet him. Now here you are, youve got him and he isnt leaving. You say youre scared he might say no. Forgetting what you learned a long time ago nothings impossible.
Go away from my window. Leave at your own chosen speed. I'm not the one you want, babe. I'm not the one you need. . You say you're looking for someone.
Let me take you through your sadness. Face the things you cannot meet. Let a sense of purpose fill your heart. Let your soul begin to speak. . The fears that have surrounded you.
It's such a pretty world today look at the sunshine. Every day's the same since I met you. It's such a pretty world today knowing that you're mine. And happinsess is being close to you.
Rain that hits the window on the outside hides the teadrops fallin' on the inside. A heart that has a sadder beat cause someone went away. It's not a very pleasant day today.
Well I might have gone fishin' but I got to thinkin' it over. The road down to the river it's a mighty long way. I guess it must be the season ain't no rhyme or no reason.
This time I've really thought you this time it's goodbye. By the time you read this I'll be high up in the sky. Oh yes I'm gonna feel you in my arms for quite a while.
This is Dave Dudley and I'd like to take a few seconds of your time. To add my sincerest appreciation for all the nice things you've done for me. And to kindly introduce this album personally.
You say you love me more than anything in this whole world. For my love you'd beg and borrow or steal. Then why don't you tell the one you look you love me more than him.
Some folks call me a laughin' boy some say I'm a clown. But till you've tried my way of life don't ever put it down. And if it feels good do it if it hurts just let it lie.
I've journeyed over the mountains just like that famous bear. I didn't realize it wouldn't get me anywhere. And now I'm tired of roaming this life is not much fun.
Oh I'm so surprised to see me here sittin' all alone. It's late and everybody's gone to their respective homes. I could go home I should go home but it's so dark and still.
Every night I stay out I swing and I shout like tomorrow won't ever come. But I lose my charm when I hear that alarm then I know what I've done. With an oversized head I'd like to stay in bed if I do I know I'll get fired.
I'm puttin' it together I'm gonna make it right. I'm gettin' it all together but it's been a fight. How come you have to treat me the way that you do.
I'm not so easy anymore you'll find it rougher than before. I guess you've noticed how I've changed since you've walked out the door. You say you made a big mistake but you're telling me too late.
Gas food and lounge and lousy detour signs. Coffee stops and concrete tired all the time. Smokin' and chokin' and closet smell like sole. But I'm hooked with my home on the road.
Got your face so pretty and your hair done right. Cause we're gonna do the town tonight. I'm comin' into town right on time I still got your lovin' on my mind.
