I am a backseat driver from America. They drive on the left on falls road. The man at the wheel's name is Shamus. We pass a child on the corner he knows.
I have traveled far to be sitting here with you. And I will leave this place alone. That's a sad and simple truth. . So little time and so much to say.
In the wee small hours of the morning. While the whole wide world is fast asleep. You lie awake and think about the girl. And never even think of counting sheep.
I wish that you loved me the way that I love you. I wish I had Angels who sang in my dreams. If wishes were changes, we'd all live in roses. And there wouldn't be children who cried in their sleep.
If these old walls, if these old walls could speak. Of things that they remember well. Stories and faces dearly held. . A couple in love livin' week to week.
(Pete Seeger - Lee Hayes). . If I had a hammer. I'd hammer in the morning. I'd hammer in the evening all over this land. I'd hammer out danger. I'd hammer out a warning.
Boston to Southshore in the back of the bus. It's the last winter storm of the season and such. And I am lost to the fiction of the book in my lap. The snow makes me drowsy, while the dreams roll and tumble.
This flesh and bone ain't much protection. For an honest heart like mine. A broken home for good intentions. Damaged inventions of my design. . I'll move along.
You never liked this place where we'd been living all along. So, you packed up your things and bought a one-way ticket home. Leaving never hurt as much as being left behind.
I would bring you Ireland. The cool sweet of the Dublin rain. If you would keep my heart for me. In the quiet of your Texas days. . And my old friend.
Oh, I wish it would rain, it's gonna wash my face clean. I wanna find some dark cloud to hide in here. Oh, love and a memory sparkle like diamonds. When the diamonds fall they burn like tears.
At my door the leaves are fallin'. A cold wild wind will come. Sweet hearts walked by together. And I still miss someone. . I go out on a party. To look for a little fun.
Oh, your golden lights of America. Joseph sought your prairies and your buffalo. And the humming of the rails down through Kansas. They brought Joseph in from Baltimore.
I love this town like an unmade bed. I love this town of the living dead. I love this town gonna paint it red. If I can spare a minute. . I love this town where the curtains twitch.
I knew love when it still meant forever. When a feeling shared didn't always have to hurt. And a promise that was made would go unbroken. I knew love when it was more than just a word.
Breakin' rocks in the hot sun. I fought the law and the law won. I fought the law and the law won. . I needed money and I had none. I fought the law and the law won.
I don't wanna talk about love. 'Cause I've heard it before. And it talks too loud. You can hear it in a disco midnight. Shouting. I don't wanna think about it.
I don't wanna talk about love. 'Cause I've heard it before it talks too loud. You can hear it in a disco midnight, shouting. . And I don't wanna think about it, think about it.
Everybody packs their goals. They sail away for better shores. And I have seen times. My sails have held a brilliant shine. . I hear tell that dreams come true.
Hell no, I'm not alright. You can talk all day and ask all night. Hell no, I'm not alright. You can talk all day and ask all night. Nothing's gonna change, no end in sight.
