[Jkeyez]. I was always on top of love. I knew what I had was enough. But that was long before you. . And I thought nothing could hold me down. Just me and myself from hanging out.
I am a poor wayfaring stranger. A travelin' through this land of woe. And there's no sickness, toil or danger. In that bright land to which I go. . I'm goin' home to see my mother.
From Willesden to Cricklewood. I tell you the town looked good. Walkin' lonely avenues. Where Rhinestone Cowboys find the blues. . There's people in doin' their thing.
If I could be you. And you could be me. For just one hour. If we could find a way. To get inside. Each other's mind, mmm. If you could see you. Through your eyes.
You can't go back the way you came. Can't go back the way. Can't repair the things you break. No matter what they say. Can't fight fire with a flame. Can't fight fire with a flame.
Mary wears a red dress every night. Her opposites are corner lights. Working for the man who keeps her in her place. Working late. Sister secretary sweats all day.
Telephone is ringing. So I'm pounding on the door. Didn't have a chance. To get up off the floor. Grab a stratacaster. And I put it in my case. Heading out the back.
First kiss, first touch. First time you ever said it back. When I close my eyes I still remember. Too much, too fast. Too good to ever make it last. And when I woke up you were gone.
(Verse 1). Can't fix a bullet with a bandaid. You can try to hide it but your heart's still bleeding out. Now your voice is screaming on the inside. But the Universe doesn't hear a sound.
Standing here at this wishing well. Throwing my one thin dime. Oh to see my west coast belle. Oh well, on good time. . She's a hot little number. And she's in her prime.
There ain't nothing that can start a fire. Break down walls, lift you higher. While you sing along. When you want to say it, but your words are gone. That's why God made love songs.
Broken glass in a million pieces and still I'm thinking of you. The spider's web and the tangles we weave. We will slow them down. I try to reach up out into space and breathe the air as it's pure as you.
I been workin' all my life tryin' to beat the company clock. In a Louisiana gravel pit, breakin' up rock. My baby's had enough, she's packin' up and leavin'.
Please don't ask me to swim that river. Please don't ask me for silver and gold. I can't give you things,. That I can't deliver. I'll keep you warm,. When the nights are cold.
When you're ready for steady to go dancin', romancin'. Grab your sweetheart and jump in your car. Drive right on down to the bright side of town. You'll be glad you don't have to drive far.
Turn out the lights. We just need the lights from the tree. The kids are in bed, baby it's just you and me. Side by side, the fire is bright, on this oh so blessed night.
There's a place I can go. Where I know I'll always be welcome. Night after night. When your memory comes around. . I just take a ride down the road. And look for the light.
She might be. Living in Dallas. Or Denver, Colorado. I know she likes it cold. She might have packed and moved back. To Alabama. There's no tellin' where she is.
Everybody said youd break my heart. Well, theyre right, your loves killing me. Dying feels so good so far. I wont fight, Ill go willingly. . But what a way to go, girl.
