Footprints on the sidewalk. Crush by me in the night. The tavern signs on this old street. Are stepping stones of life. I walk and walk and search for you.
Smoking, resting on its grave. The carcass rusting where it lies. No more truth, no honest games. The serpent writhes within us all. . Lava streams of molten flesh.
Smoking resting on its grave. The carcass burting where it lies. No more truth. No honest games. The serpent writhes within us all. Lava streams of molten flesh.
Darlin', dearest darlin'. Put your arms around me, baby please. Darlin', dearest darlin'. Kiss me one more time before you leave. . If you must go be on your way.
A silent river flowin' black. Strange attractors, no turnin' back. Present danger I recall. That pins my senses to the wall. . Back from the edge. (Back from the edge).
All day I've faced a barren waste without the taste of water cool water. Old Dan and I with throats burt dry and souls that cry for water cool clear water.
There, on a lonely desert hilltop. The pilgrims huddle closer. Waiting for a sign, the coming silver shrine. The arc of space and time. . Truth, oh, the truth is never clear.
Well Billy rapped all night about his suicide. Said he'd kick it in the head when he was 25. Speed jive, don't want to stay alive when you're 25. And Wendy's stealing clothes from Marks and Sparks.
Way down in Columbus, Georgia. Want to be back in Tennessee. Way down in Columbus Stockade. Friends have turned their back on me.. . Go and leave me if you wish to.
Maybe I am not that one and only guy. Whose touch will thrill you to the sky. And bring the lovelight to your eyes. Until the day the love you dream of comes your way.
We live and die like all the rest. Every summer has it's sunset every year. Love and hope put to the test. Every grain of comfort holds the seed of fear.
East is east and west is west. And the wrong one I have chose. Let's go where I wil keep on wearin'. Those frills and flowers and buttons and bows. Rings and things and buttons and bows.
Journey back to the dark side, back into the womb. Back to where the spirits move like vapor from the tomb. The center of the cyclone, blowing out the sun.
I wake in sweat, you've come to steal my life away. Some strange electric glow of artificial day. The power breakers close, the grid of darkness falls.
Brighten the corner where you are!. Brighten the corner where you are!. Someone far from harbor "YOU" may guide across the bar;. Brighten the corner where you are!.
When shall we three meet again?. In thunder, lightning, or in rain?. When the hurly burly's done?. When the battle's lost, not won?. . A tyranny of souls that love has lost.
You can sail in the desert with a ship of fools. You can smuggle in Moses and his book of rules. But you can't take a mother and give her back her son.
By your side satisfied through and through cause I was born to be with you. Wonderously love can be so I knew that I was born to be with you. [ guitar ].
Blues stay away from me blues why don't you let me be. Don't know why you keep on haunting me. Life is full of misery true love was never meant to be.
(B.Hayes, J.Johnson (c) 1948). . I'll have a blue Christmas without you;. I'll be so blue thinking about you.. Decorations of red. On a green Christmas tree.
