They have come to haunt the children. They have come to walk the wind. I can hear them as they rustle through the trees. Looking for the love that killed them.
What I feel is like an old freight train. Five miles long in the pouring rain. Rolling out of Detroit loaded up with shiny cars. And I'm sitting in a Cadillac smoking on a big cigar.
There's a lipstick sunset. Smeared across the August sky. There's a bitter sweet perfume. Hanging in the fields. The creek is running high. . And I left my lover waiting.
Keep an eye on my blind spots. There's too many. Keep lookin' for some light. But there isn't any. . Was top dead center, baby. Now my motor's gone soft.
Let's Give This Love A Try. . Sometimes I Don't Like Being Where I Am. No Matter What. I'd Rather Be In A Barrel Of Kosher Salt And Pickle Brine. With A Thousand Paper Cuts.
CHORUS:. You gotta lift up every stone now sister. Gotta lift up every stone now sister. Gotta lift up every stone now sister. Gotta clear this field and build that wall.
Let it slip away. john hiatt. Love only stays for a little while baby. that's what i said cause i was scared. too scared to say what you mean to me baby.
These are just the simple facts. I will relate to you. Though they are not connected. Each and every one is true. If they seem a bit untidy. Well unraveling them is fun.
I'm 34 years old now. And I've come to you. Baby I don't even know how. I got through. . From the first kiss in the schoolyard. Til the last heart broke in two.
Sometimes it's just the goin', you got to go. And you don't even know if it's the right thing to do. Nobody else can be showing which way to go. And you're not even sure where you're going to.
That girl you were seein' back in '72. Somethin' 'bout a hotel room and bath water in your shoes. Were you into your Catholic thing then or some other stew.
Spend my money but love me honey. Break my heart but be my girl. I just want you to be there when I come home. . Drive my new car, smoke my cigar. Buy you diamonds and your pearls.
You said that I would be sorry. If you went away. You said I wouldn't be happy. Without hell to pay. . You said the teardrops would fall. Between the bedroom walls.
You shot bolt upright in the middle of the dark. As she drove her motorcycle through the trailer park. A hundred miles an hour no helmet on her head. 'Til that concrete drain was runnin' cherry red.
She came onto him like a slow movin' cold front. His beer was warmer than the look in her eyes. She sat on a stool, he said, "What do you want?". She said, "Give me a love that don't freeze up inside.".
Well I'm out here on my own. Followin' a star. Asking on my knees, for some direction, please,. And, God, you know that's hard. . Cause I'm such a stubborn man.
You been slippin' around a bit. You been sayin' things that just don't fit. . You been handin' me the same old line. About the proper place and the proper time.
I'm a real man, I got a real guitar. I'm a real man, don't even know where the boys are. I don't want to frighten you little girl, you're so sweet and nice.
I would have thought time would erase. I'll never get over you. The feeling's lost in your embrace. I'll never get over you. . But still I try. And still I cry.
Unlock these chains and let me out. I want the love you're talkin' about. I want a job, I wanna care. I want to find you everywhere. . I want a house and a fireplace.
