There goes my only possession there goes my everything. I hear footsteps slowly walking as they gently walk across a lonely floor. And a voice is so softly saying darling this will be goodbye forever more.
Thank you baby for teaching me the world is really round. There's more to it than my two eyes can see. Thank you baby for showing me that black is sometimes grey.
(That's where our love our love must be). Where the sun takes the dew from the roses. Where winter takes the color from the leaves. Where the frost takes the sweetest of all flowers.
Why must you always try to make me over?. Take me as I am or let me go. White lilies never grow on stalks of clover. Take me as I am or let me go. . You're trying to reshape me in a mold love.
The old me and I lit some fire crackers last night. I didn't know how much burned but she did. The cops came down flashing badges and blue lights. Talked us out of trouble, well she did.
Swore I'd never come back here. . I'm drivin' east to face my fears. . Headin' back down to my home town. . And fightin' back the tears. . I'm closin' in on your memory.
Call me trashcan tomcat*. I'm as lonesome as a song. Call me trashcan tomcat. And you will never call me wrong. Meet me in the silver starlight. When the dusty day is through.
Meet me in the morning. At the bus stop. We'll ride into the town. Down to the square. . To see the angel. See the angel in the fountain. Meet me in the morning.
The trumpet child will blow his horn. Will blast the sky till its reborn. With Gabriels power and Satchmos grace. He will surprise the human race. . The trumpet he will use to blow.
If you came to make some trouble. Better make it good. Your sexy cocktail hour stubble. Is doing what it should. . Looks may be sweet and subtle. I think its trouble, honey, I think its good.
In the perfect conversation we're standing at the station. And you're begging me, "please don't go". You say, "the only thing that matters in this world.
Wouldn't want to go calling this love. That word isn't close enough. To describe what we've got here. My heart is still in one piece. I can eat and I can sleep.
If I could invent a time machine. I'd go back and change a few things. I'd be there that cold and rainy night. To make sure Patsy Cline didn't fly. And I would divert a Dallas parade.
I remember we were drivin'. I remember what she wore. I remember we were fightin'. Though I can't recall what for. I remember where we were goin'. And I remember I made her cry.
Chestnut hair with just a touch of gray. Shadows of a few more years on her face. That ain't the girl that I knew yesterday. Oh no, now, that's a woman.
I set a friend of mine up on a date. And I told him I'd watch his boy for the day. And we had a ball playin' games, eatin' dogs. Riding rides at the county fair.
Hear the trucks on the highway, And the tickin' of the clocks. There's a ghost of a moon in the afternoon, Bullet holes in the mailbox. Bullet holes in the mailbox, Keyholes in my mind.
I wished I was smarter. Wished I was stronger. I wished I loved jesus. The way the my wife does. . I wished it'd been easier. Instead of any longer. I wished I could've stood.
You with the sad eyes. Don't be discouraged. Oh I realize. It's hard to take courage. In a world full of people. You can lose sight of it. of the darkness inside you.
Well a wise man once said to me. If your heart don't break you won't be. Free. I'm as free as a bird. Flying out over flying out over the sea. . I call out to the wind.
