It's knowin' you don't try to buy my freedom. With some promise made of gold. That for you my door stays open. And our love becomes a simple two-way street.
From a jack to a king from loneliness to a wedding ring. I played an Ace and I won a Queen and walked away with your heart. From a jack to a king with no regrets I stackled the cards last night.
Four strong winds that blow lonely seven seas that run dry. All these things that don't change come what may. But my good times are all gone and I'm bound for moving on.
I'll be your chauffeur, drive you to a distant shore. Fill the tank with gas and dreams. The twinkle of stars shall be our semaphore. Guide us to that place, a better place.
A star fell from heaven right into my arms the brightest star I know I've never seen. Then I found out that it was only you with all your charms. Who came into my life to fill a dream.
As I look at the letters that you wrote to me. It's you that I am thinking of. As I read the lines that to me were so sweet. I remember our faded love.
Turkish clove cigarettes. In a black coffin lunch box. She falls into the poster on her wall. She has an ideal fantasy. She's with Lestat meets Peter Murphy.
I know I'll be blue for a while yet till your mem'ry finally goes I'll wait. And these tears that keep falling around me mean a rainbow is on its way.
Good morning sun you've been a long time shinin'. There were times I thought you'd never shine again. Goodbye rain I thought you'd never stop fallin'.
As sit here in this Loser's Cathedral I hear the sad songs that the jukebox play. Then I dream about Where Love Used To Live dear. And all the things that I let slip away.
Oh Danny Boy the pipes the pipes are calling. From glen to glen and down the mountain side. The summer's gone and all the roses falling it's you it's you must go and I must bide.
(howl) I'm lonesome but happy rich but I'm broke. And the good Lord knows the reason I'm just a cowpoke. From Cheyenne to Douglas all the ranges I know.
There's a church in the valley by the Wildwood no lovelier place in the dale. No spot is so dear to my childhood as the little brown church in the vale.
I'm tired of cryin' and all your lyin' that's why I'm buyin' a China Doll. Her lips are truer her thoughts fewer her eyes are bluer my China Doll. I'd rather have a doll to play that I could call my own.
(Lord build me a cabin in the corner of Gloryland). Many years I've been looking for a place to call home. But I've failed here to find it so I must travel on.
By the time I get to Phoenix. She'll be rising. She'll find the note. I left hanging on her door. . She'll laugh when she reads the part. That says I'm leaving.
When you're weary feeling small. When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all. I'm on your side when times get rough. And friends just can't be found.
Ah look down look down that lonesome road before you travel travel on. Look up look up and seek your maker before Gabriel blows his horn. Now I'm weary totin' such a load travelin' down that lonesome road.
If he brings you happiness then I wish you both the best. It's your happiness that matters most of all. But if he ever breaks your heart if the teardrops ever start.
