You fell out of the sky when you were 21.. Your bomber took a bullet from a german gun.. Did you think about your wife, your brief. And tender life, did you pray to anyone?.
I'd like to be the last one you hold,. leaving me the memory of your touch.. If you're the first of us from this life to go,. I'd like to be the last one that you hold..
I saw you talking to a friend of mine. I asked him what you had to say. You told him that I wasn't doing so good. I guess I couldn't argue either way.
Chicago is where the woman downstairs. Starved herself to death last summer. Her boyfriend Ted ate hot dogs and wept. With the gray rats out on the fire escape.
The giant of Illinois. Died from a blister on his toe. After walking all day through the first winter's snow. . Throwing bits of stale bread to the last speckled doves.
My name I don't remember, though I hail from Ohio. I had a wife and children, good tires on my car. What took me from my home and put me in the earth.
1, 2, a-1 2 3 4. . There will be a jubilee. Oh my lord oh my lord. There will be a jubilee. When the children all go free. Yeah they'll lay down their swords.
In the great book of John you'll wonder the day. When you'll be laid beneath the cold clay. The angel of death will come from the sky. And claim up your soul when the day comes to die.
All you big and burly men who roll the trucks along. Better listen you'll be thankful when you hear my song. You have really got it made if you're haulin' goods.
I sat bored at my piano. When he walked into the bar. When he nodded from his table. I said I know just how things are. Cause the only time I see you.
I tried my hand at the game enough. But I ain't lucky when it comes to love. I want it all but I never want to wait. You ain't like the ones I've known before.
No one can decide. When lightning will strike. And everything falls into place. But lately it seems. When you're in my dreams. I find that I don't want to wake.
