I just stepped in a puddle and I sank up to my neck. I can't see the traffic light I'll get run over yet. It cost me thirteen tokens to find my way back home.
If you can't love me till forever I'd never hold you and I won't cry. Leave me gently when it's over if you can't stop smile as you go by. I could love you like I found you with the sunshine in your eyes.
(She thinks I still care). Just because I asked a friend about her just because I spoke her name somewhere. Just because I rang her number by mistake today she thinks I still care.
(Roses are red my love). A long long time ago on graduation day. You handed me your book I signed this way. Roses are red my love violets are blue. Sugar is sweet my love but not as sweet as you.
I was born and raised down in Alabama. On a farm way back up in the woods. I was so ragged that folks used to call me Patches. Papa used to tease me about it.
Alone until my eighteenth year, we met four springs ago. She was shy and had a fear, of things she did not know. But we got it on together in such a super way.
Well I woke up this morning when the cold Chicago wind. Blew my newspaper blanket off my back. Through my dirty broken window the grey sun filtered in.
Didn't feel so cold and tired stretched out before the fire. Rolling smokes and drinking up her wine. And I remember candle light and singin' till we couldn't sing no more.
Fly ye away from my window little bluebird fly ye as far as you can away from here. And let not your song fall upon my ear. Go spread your blue wings and I'll shed my blue tears.
I gave my heart and soul to you, girl. Now didn't I do it, baby, didn't I do it baby. Gave you the love you never knew, girl, oh. Didn't I do it, baby, didn't I do it baby.
The first time that she said let's start our family. I said hon I've got the whole wide world to see. So come along and be this drifter's lady the next best thing to love is bein' free.
(Dark old cave Miller's Cave). Way down in the state of Georgia through the swamps and everglades. There's a hole in Tiger Mountain God help the man who gets lost in Miller's Cave.
I have walked through the shadow of your afternoon. Chasing the sundown of our love. Making believe I'm still the one on your mind. Hoping your thoughts will all be kind.
A little bitty tear let me down spoiled my act as a clown. I had it made up not to make a frown but a little bitty tear let me down. . When you said you were leaving tomorrow that today was our last day.
