Radio waves are coming miles and miles. Bringing only empty boats. Whatever feeling they had when they sailed. Somehow slipped out between the notes. .
There are planets you don't know. And there are moons that you don't see. Invisibles between the rings of Mars and Mercury. The harbors that they built for the ships to set me free.
Me and Jiggs staring at the ceiling the stars above the radar range. Song from a station wagon laying foundations on the shadows of overpassing planes.
What's it take to make the dime drop?. All of these kids who think they're quick on the draw. Always shooting at outlaws I'm busy keeping my Colt cocked.
Don't stand so close to me. Don't be another tragedy. I've burned everybody who had a hand to lend. . A man burning at both ends. No one put me in this hell.
I remember back in Illinois I found her. The lily of the valley the lily of the. West was a rose The daughter of the biggest big town banker. He kept her like a princess I stole her like the Fort Knox gold.
I'm not afraid of the dark; we've been here before,. Fallen on hard times, Honey, we've fallen on swords. So if a long shadow falls across your heart,.
Gonna build you a cathedral out of nothing but the rafters. 'Tween the stars, 'tween stars, 'tween the stars, 'tween the stars. From the tree of good and evil bring you fruit of the knowledge.
Making my own city lights. Out of bourbon and the stars of a bar room fight. Face forward in the wind. If you don't know where it is but you know where it's been.
Well I can't sleep with all these hand-me-downs. Battered up chests and faded dreams. Every new life seems to spin away. Like sand escaping through the seams.
I met you at a party or on a crowded street. . A silent singularity when glances chanced to meet. . You looked into my glasses, said you'd seen a ghost.
Dirt roads and dry land farming might be the death of me. But I can't leave this world behind. Debts are not like prison where there's hope of getting free.
The golden ratio the shell. The stairs ascending round themselves. The trees rustle as if to kneel and listen. To the heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat.
You have chosen dawn to leave. Don't bother me while I am sleeping. Life continues and though you go out. I'll sleep another hour or so. Though you think that I am fragile.
Be the light of my lantern, the light of my lantern, be the light. Be the light of my lantern, the light of my lantern, tonight. Be the light of my lantern, the light of my lantern, be the light.
Here we go a-one, two. A-one, two, three. . We heard it over the wires. That everybody here was fine. But we never even really felt hired. So we felt bad, but not that bad.
I go to the parties. Throw my hands in the air. I drink what they pour me. The cups of who cares. Go up in the night sky. Up in the clouds. Fly over the houses.
All the other girls here are stars?you are the Northern Lights. They try to shine in through your curtains?you're too close and too bright. They try and they try but everything that they do.
We started looking for you. In the darker caves. We had a lot of love. We thought would light the way. We saw the wrecks of buildings. And ships that sank in starlight.
Love, they say, is serious.. It's not a child's game.. Love can make or break your heart. But Darling, all the same. I'm not afraid. (I'm not afraid).
