Upon the bitter green she walked the hills above the town. Echoed to her footsteps as soft as eiderdown. Waiting for her master to kiss away her tears.
I'd like to be in biscuit city. With my banjo in my hand. I don't need no long vacation. In some foreign land. Cause the sound of my own breathing. Has been turning to a sigh.
Betty Jo, you made it plain. When first you held me near. Even though you caused me pain. You were all the world to me. . We made love, we had such fun.
Come on, Pearl, come on, Kitty. If you feel inclined. Down around the bend in the water. Bring your fishin' line. . Come on, Pearl, I'm rough and ready.
Bells of the evening, O sing to my love. Tell her I miss her, my own turtledove. The streets of the old town are covered with rain. I think I might never know true love again.
At times I just don't know. How you could be anything but beautiful. I think that I was made for you. And you were made for me. . And I know that I won't ever change.
At times I just don't know. How you could be anything but beautiful. I think that I was made for you. And you were made for me. . And I know that I won't ever change.
Well, it's four o'clock in the afternoon. And the anchors have been weighed. From Miami to Nassau. She's bound across the waves. . She'll be headin' south through Biscayne Bay.
Now it looks to me like the same old place. In the sky it looks like rain. The same old town with the same old streets. The address has not change. You can find me there.
It's alright for some but not alright for me. When the one that I'm lovin' slips around. You think it's fine to do things I cannot see. And you're doin' it to me, baby, can't you see.
If you'd like to spend the afternoon approaching Lavender. You'll feel just fine but one thing's sure. You'll never be the same. . If you'd like to try your hand at understanding Lavender.
I remember everything. I've learned about survival. I've walked with fools and kings. And I've even read the bible. . There I came upon some lines. Givin' me direction.
In my life. In my time and in each line I've ever sung. And in my life. Was it my imagination or are you still the one. Who lingers on. . I'd do anything for you.
You are like a wish come true, I'm counting on you. Through two shipwrecked eyes I've come to see. Everything I had to give has been given to you. Baby, that's the way it all should be.
All the lovely ladies in their finery tonight. I wish that I could know them one by one. All the handsome gentlemen with loving on their minds. Strolling in to take the ladies home.
All I'm after is to be on your winning side. All I need is to be turning back the tide. 'Cause I care too much for the life that I lead. What you're thinking could be anybody's guess.
Oh, the Prairie lights are burnin' bright. The Chinook wind is movin' in. Tomorrow night I'll be Alberta bound. . Though I've done the best I could. My old luck ain't been so good and.
The perfume that she wore was from some little store. On the down side of town. But it lingered on long after she'd gone. I remember it well. . And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light.
I see a place where candles burn and lovers rest tonight. The hollow sound inside me now keeps telling me to write. But songs of love will never leave love's feelings undefined.
A passing ship. I have found the open ocean. Give me no lip. The waves roll by as I pass on. . A sunlit sea. On the first day of April. How fresh the wind.
