Once upon a winter. It seems so long ago. My one and only love and I. Fell down upon the snow. . And as the dusk was falling. From our gray and goose down sky.
When you come home and all the world's asleep. I'll close my eyes and breathe with sweet relief. This world has had you long enough for now. And when I get you home I'll show you how.
You say he feels it. His face reveals it. My sweet trepidation. An eagerness of my own. A shiver slips through my bones. Can you see cobblestone roads.
Sleep baby Jane. Sleep baby Jane. . Suicide suicide. Katie's talking suicide. Homicide homicide. Mama killed my man. . Turpentine turpentine. Potion for my valentine.
What she would like to do, is get you out of her head. She's tried every trick, she's so sick of thinking about it. What's so special about you, you're an ache she's learned to crave.
Bone dry. Should I never dance. Like Salome danced. Bathing in the rain. And moonlight and flame. Should I never sweat. Surreal shadows. Rushing through my veins.
Lost the words it ain't my way, yeah. Takes away my breath. What takes me twenty-five years to say. Baby you're my favorite rolling stone. Elvis left the building, I have never been so alone.
I feel like a castaway but I'm not afraid. You and me and a couple of dusty volumes. I wanna be your Messiah but there's no way. I feel the tide roll in around us.
You were with your friends, I was with mine. Hangin' on the beach you walked up and smiled. Stole a sip o' my beer. I didn't mind, you were so fine. Ended up in these arms of mine.
(Harley Allen). . He should have been out playin'. But he sat on his front step. All day he's just been there waiting. And nobody's showed up yet. His dad said he'd come get him.
I got a "Dear John" letter in the mail just the other day. I opened it up and there wasn't much left to say. A bus ticket, plane ticket, train ticket.
At a diner down on Broadway they make small talk. When she brings his eggs and fills his cup. He jokes about his love life. Tells her he's 'bout ready to give up.
I'm slippin' into Slidell, the boys and me. Take a left at the Texaco, gonna see Sweet Marie. She plays down at Jimbeaux's Gumbo and Washtub. In calico and barefeet in a band called the Mudbugs.
[Chorus]. I'll be glad to sign my autograph. If you want me to. God knows I love singing. It's what I was born to do. . You see me up there center stage.
I'll be glad to sign my autograph. If you want me to. God knows I love singin'. It's what I was born to do. You see me up there center state. In the spotlight for a while.
Third of June she said goodbye. I watched her walk into the night. The hardest thing I ever did was let her go. We swore as friends we'd stay in touch.
It's not that I don't care. I know its here somewhere. But its more than I can bare to take. I lie awake at night. I never win the fight. Its an addiction I can't shake.
If you don't see me, caught in your wire. If you don't hear me, outside your door. If all this waiting, just leaves me wanting. You still would be, the sweetest waste of time.
Well time can pass and time can heal. But it don't ever pass the way I feel. You went away a long time ago. And why you left I never knew. Lonely days and lonely nights.
I'm a little bit stronger,. I'm a little bit wiser,. It's a little bit clearer in my mind.. I can shout a bit louder,. I can feel a bit prouder,. But nothing makes sense to me this time..
