What child is this, who laid to rest. On Mary's lap is sleeping?. Whom angels greet with anthems sweet. While shepherds watch are keeping?. . This, this is Christ the King.
Happiness is a hermit that lives on a hill. And speaks to no one. Joy is the money that he buries in the yard. And forgets where it is. . He dies and all the neighbors of the world come digging.
High and dry in the long hot day. Lost and lonely, every way. Got the flats all around me, sky up above. Yes, I need a little water of love. . I've been too long lonely and my heart feels pain.
In the back of the front. Of the middle line. Of lovers and friends. Meet me incognito. Clothed in pretense. Groomed by deception. I'll be there. I've watched you vanish.
Some call it country with a little bit of rhythm and blues. And when the boys start rockin'. There's a beat that you just can't lose. Where it's gonna take us nobody knows.
Isn't this how it goes?. Another change of clothes. Another pack of cigarettes. Twenty grade A filtered regrets. Gaze out my window. And what do you see.
I would walk ten miles on my hands and knees. Ain't no doubt about it, baby, it's you I aim to please. I'd wrestle with a lion and a grizzly bear. It's my life, baby, but I don't care.
I've all the problems of the world. Yeah, it's hard getting used to you. Gotten gone, getting used to someone else. When I'm getting over you. Wanting to hold on to you, but holding on.
It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor. If you're old or young. Everybody, every now and then. Has got to have some fun. . So turn up the music, turn up the juice.
Gazing out the window of some big girder bird. Down on mother nature's face, torn-up, twisted, absurd. I wondered what the chances were that you. Were down there looking up at me.
Everybody read about it. You can find it in the checkout line. They say I got husbands a-leavin', boyfriends a-callin'. And problems that ain't even mine.
When all is said and done. It might have been more fun. If I'd stayed with you. Down in the shacks. Where the satellite dishes grow. When all is tried and true.
One day a mother, come to a prison. To see an erring but precious son. She told the warden, how much she loved him. It did not matter what he had done.
Aren't we all born at sea, water breaks. The woman screams, such violence. You'd think that our world. Was coming to an end. . Aren't we all borne on blood, hearts beat.
Heartaches, you know my heartaches. Every time I think of you. Lonesome, I'm on my own some. Yes, I could loan some, tears to you. . Daybreak, another daybreak.
She slipped up on daylight. Night was her best companion I've heard it told. She slipped up on daylight. Crack in the sidewalk she up and disappeared.
The sky never looked so blue. Blue never seemed so deep. The water never slept so wide. Wider awake than sleep. Love's all counting sheep. Waiting on the moon to bring you.
Love, talk about love. Why do you always wanna talk about love?. Love, talk about love. Why do you always wanna talk about it?. . I say that love is something you feel.
Convalescing in Spain. Trying to purge this sickness. You started in me. At the outdoor cafes. Trying to cool this fever. Drink, relief, recovery. In the scratchy shade.
Through these sleepless nights. I cry for you. And wonder who is kissing you. Oh, these sleepless nights. Will break my heart in two. . Somehow through the days.
