If I had wings I would fly. Over the river and into the night. And if I had wheels I would roll. Ten years of dreams tethered to my soul. . Well, it's 59 miles to Memphis.
I hear an echo through the aching distance. I know your injured voice. You stand behind this wall of ice between us. I guess you had no choice. . You had to save yourself, I understand.
Well, I like to walk my dog in the middle of the night. You can hear us howling in the silvery light. Of the lamp post in the alley, dancing in the rain.
I can't eat, I can't sleep,. I got nubs where my fingernails used to be. And my cat is lookin' kinda worried 'bout me.. . The phone rings and I pounce.
Blackbird shivers on the old clothes line. When I oughta be hanging out my sheets. Just when I get to thinking that the sun's gonna shine. Well, here you come, here you come raining on me.
The world explodes in violence. While the angels cry in vain. 'Cause they know the enemy is silent. And knows us all by name -- all by name. She's living in the suburbs.
She fixes her hair every morning, long before seven o'clock. She'll tell you with her hair that piled up, she feels closer to God. And she fires up that old Chevy, gets to the truckers in time.
The world is waiting in the drive, another day begins. We wake up barely half alive, here we go again. We pay our bills and we don't complain. We just drive faster in the carpool lane.
I go to work from 10:30 until 6 a.m.. Raking up those dimes and quarters. Slinging eggs and ham. Scrambled, poached, or over easy. Coffee black and strong.
Spent my life looking for. Happiness like it was buried treasure. Somewhere behind the secret door. Surely there were riches beyond measure. . I would take my sanity to task.
(matraca berg/wendy waldman/josh leo). . Well, all the girls you see walkin' in here. Acting like you're heaven sent. You tightrope-walkin' song of a gun.
If the sun. Ain't shining bright. And the moon, the moon. Won't shine for you tonight. And you feel. Feelin' real low down today. And the stars in the sky gone away.
I looked in your eyes this morning. And the blue just turned to gray. I keep waiting for the storm that's coming. But it's just another dark day. . I only like clouds when they're raining.
Sweet Abilena looked out at the Midwestern sky. Sweet seventeen with a far away look in her eyes. She said "I feel like a bird in a cage but come September I'm flying away".
Here we are. Clinging to what left of a broken heart. It's gone too far but. I don't think you know it. It ain't over yet. We were walking out the door when our eyes met.
I guess, you had to be there, she said, "You had to be". She handed me a yellowed photograph and then said. "See, this was my greatest love, my one and only love.
Came down from the Cadillac. Dude ranch, health spa. Nestled on the edge of town. For fourteen days I've been. Herbal wrapped, mud packed. . Now I'm bustin' out.
Oh no, here we go, and there you go again,. When we disagree, you leave when you don't win. Honey, your sidewalk baby talk don't get it with me no more.
He came into town in the early springtime. To work with my daddy down in the mines. It was hot in the summer when he said goodbye. And he left me a secret I can no longer hide.
If love is like a roller coaster. Pretty as a circus poster. Would you pay for a day at the fair?. I'd like to sit in the very last car. . Baby, don't hold onto the bar.
