I'm just waitin' for the time to come when all sorrow will be done. Then I'm be goin' home to heaven above. Then I'll shout and sing with the angels up there.
I've been workin' out in the rain. Tied to the dirty old ball and chain. Oh dear mother I'll come home some old day. Some sweet day the'll turn me loose.
Somehow tonight I feel lonely my darling. Somehow tonight I feel blue. Somehow tonight these tears of mine keep falling. Come back sweetheart and be true.
Standin' on the corner with the low down blues. Is a great big hole in the bottom of my shoes. Honey, let me be your Salty Dog. . Let me be your Salty Dog.
Standin' on the corner with the low down blues. Is a great big hole in the bottom of my shoes. Honey, let me be your Salty Dog. . Let me be your Salty Dog.
A strange form of life kicking through windows, rolling on yards. Heading in loved ones, triggering odds. A strange one. . And a hard way to come into a cabin, into the weather.
Born in sheep's blood plain and simple. Washed out of my mother's temple. All around I heard them laughing. As father sheep had stood there calving. .
Verse 1. Little red boots and a little black dress. For every occasion I'm wearing my best. When the curtains close and the lights go down. I'll still be singing when no one's around.
Verse 1. I don't need you to love me. I need you to hear me out. All these words that were trapped in my heart. Are finally free from my mouth. . I don't need you to love me.
I've been waiting all my days. For someone to carry me away. From this lonesome, lonely road. I've been on for so long. . I've been spending all my nights.
I know I stand in line,. Until you think you have the time. To spend an evening with me.. And if we go someplace to dance,. I know that there's a chance.
You're dancing with the crowd in the city of lights. All the boys spin around you like satellites. Be the spark in their hearts, say goodnight. Then you're gone..
California. I came to see ya. You took me out to eat. And laid me down to sleep. . Been a stonewall. Been a stonewall. Been a stonewall. And I crumbled down.
Well I'm gonna get me a seeing eye dog. To help me find my way. I'm so much in love with you. I can't even see the light of day. . My mind is cloudy like a winter storm.
(spoken). Biffy on the drums and Dennis, you on the bass. When I count this off, ya'll give me a little Texas. Playboy type rhythm, okay. One, two, three four.
Oh, the path was deep and wide from footsteps leading to our cabin. Above the door, there burned a scarlet lamp. And late at night a hand would knock and there would stand a stranger.
And now the purple dusk of twilight time. Steals across the meadows of my heart. High up in the sky the little stars climb. Always reminding me that we're apart.
[Chorus]. Somewhere between your heart and mine. There's a window that I can't see through. There's a wall so high it reaches the sky. Somewhere between me and you.
I'm gonna lose myself. Somewhere on skid row. Since I lost you. I just don't seem to care. . I'm gonna lose myself. Somewhere on skid row. So the wine won't let.
