The Devil went down to Georgia,. He was looking for a soul to steal.. He was in a bind, 'cause he was way behind,. He was willing to make a deal.. When he came across this young man.
There was Robbie Jones. He used to walk so tall. You know he'd hurt no one at all. Chased the girls around the world. Danced them round the dance halls.
Would God I were the tender apple blossom. That floats and falls from off the twisted bough,. To lie and faint within your silken bosom,. Within your silken bos'm as that does now!.
Happy but for a while. The good times were out of style. And April came and went. Colder than it's ever been. . You'd lay in the morning time. And gaze at the ceiling, tired and low.
Is anybody out there?. There's no knock on my door. No one comes anymore. To this island. Trapped on memory lane. Caught in yesturdays rain. In the silence.
If the day would come to fight for what is right. Would you go. Would you guard the ground you've reaped from all your life. Would you say yes. Or would you say no.
Running in the human race. 'round in circles. No sense of time and space. Or who we are. Let me pour some water in your wine. Let's talk about the future.
Give me the rain. Give me the sun. I hate a sky like this. Give me black or give me light. I don't want a world in grey. . Take me in your dreams. Through the storms.
Give me the rain. Give me the sun. I hate a sky like this. Give me black or give me light. I don't want a world in grey. . Take me in your dreams. Through the storms.
There's no time to wallow in my cheer. 'Tis mine to make my life a better place for my song. Near my blues will be gone. Bracing my joy till june. There's no time to bellow hardships done.
I've been slavin' my mind just to try to find a way out. And it's been on my brain just to put the blame on you. I've gotta find a way just to make my day a useful one.
I love you now. And I never want to change my mind. But love is strange. And the surest things can change. We carry love. More than we can stand to lose.
All the ghosts in the schoolyard. Young rebels with no dreams. Dying of old age. At seventeen. Some blame their mothers. For this unforgiving world. Others point the finger.
An urgent call in the dead of night. A voice that whispers "Now". A voice that trembles like a winter leaf. Before it hits the ground. She leaves a crack in the bedroom door.
(The river must flow). I love you, you're the one that I adore. And no man could love you more. It's like a river that flows to the sea. I need you like the jasmine needs the rain.
Sound the trumpets for the princess and her fool. A joke, a jester just to make her smile. Silver bells on his hat and on his pointed shoes. Tears rolling down his cheeks.
Who's that a-knockin' at my door tonight?. Leave me alone 'til there's morning light. . You live and learn, you make mistakes. You can't imagine why. The fire burns for heaven's sake.
He sits low, in a shady grove. Where the trees arc slow, in the shape of 'you know'. Marble stairwells, waterfalls, egrets' heads and open arms. Whistling through his pensive teeth, the scene is set to peak.
You couldn't possibly know how much you meant to me. You couldn't honestly look inside my tarot. You couldn't possibly find it in your heart to forgive me.
