Dance he said dance like you'll never dance again. Laugh he said laugh like you'll never laugh again. He died a young man but seemed an old man. He saw not the end but a way to begin again.
I live in a little house on the side of the street. Where the grass is dead but they water the concrete. In the summer I watch the people float by. In the winter I watch them weep and cry.
With pen in hand you signed your name today at five I'll be on that train. And you'll be free and I will be alone so alone. If you think we can't find the love we once knew.
Monday morning and I'd best be on my way. Got a feelin' it will be a busy day. Doing something I'm not looking forward to. Wish, I didn't have to miss you.
I went to church today. To try to find my way. The preacher was a shade of grey. His eyes glued to the book. . I turned on the radio. To make my heart grow.
Willingly I fell in love with you. Willingly I learned to love you too. Though we both knew that it was wrong. To someone else we both belong. . We fell in love willingly.
I was feeling so small. I was feeling like I was any feet tall. I was feeling (I was feeling) so down and out. And I'm wonderin'. What this life is all about.
I am a line man for the county. And I drive the main road. Searching in the sun for another overload. . I hear you singing in the wires. I can hear you through the whine.
Velvet coat, why can't you be. a little more like orange vest?. Velvet coat, yes, I see. you had to say these things to get them off your chest.. . You said if I spend my energy on you,.
Livin' on whiskey dirt ain't easy Lord, when you're little. When you planted in whiskey dirt it's hard to grow. The corn we grew on whiskey farm, we stored in a jar in a gunny sack.
Staring at the telly spitting something so irrelevant. You just left and I'm still glowing,. Freshly-sexed and never knowing if I'll have. Your face that close to mine again..
You used to love Charlotte, now you love me.. She was your little shrinking violet from across the street.. And my motor-mouth is running from here to the sea,.
When you left I thought that I would soon get over you. Even told myself that I would find somebody too. Time and tears have come and gone but not your memory.
What's the use to try and start all over. We'd be better off to let it die. We had our chance put shows to hurt each other. It's over now, let's leave it at goodbye.
And you smile so much that the lines on your face stay in place when you're not even smiling. And you are so in touch with the time and the place of this craze even though it's beguiling.
What locks the door to the world you're living in?. What kind of key do I need to get in?. I tried anything from solid gold to cent. What locks the door to the world you're living in?.
What in the world has gone wrong with our love?. Is there nothing in this world we can do?. Is there somebody new or is it just me and you?. What in the world has gone wrong with our love?.
We'll try a little bit harder to keep our love to stay together. We'll try a littler bit harder to make it through the stormy weather. And when the rains come and the wind blows and the snow falls.
I never thought that you'd be leaving me and even now it's so hard to believe. But even the blind at times can see the sun at least we know an ending when it comes.
We found it in each other's arms. My life was so confused till I found you. And you know I'm stumbled through a love or two. We needed a loving place safe from all harm.
