Music & lyrics: john popper. . Come to me madam, come one and all. I'll be there to save you from your romancing fall. I'll be there to touch you with some words to a song.
She is the sugar of the islands. She is the coffee in the hills. She is the harvest of the vineyard. She is the river where it spills. Into the canyon.
Nefertiti claimed she needed no one at all. . Majestic in her empire like so many I've seen rise and fall. Suitors by the dozen, even one who'd give her everything.
Yeah, I can't believe, it feels like everybody. turned they back on me, it sucks. cause I'm not used to being lonely. I must admit I'm not perfect,. but I don't deserve this..
Music & lyrics: john popper. . Please let me speak of my only regret. Let me speak of the girl that I'm sure you've all met. A kind with the earth like a dream that you've had.
Sweet October, everything comes down. And the ghosts outside are rattling the storms. And the drunkards think they're sober. and the lovers think they're drowning.
The hawk and the sparrow flew up together. Though the sparrow was small and the hawk on a tether. Wingtip wingtip, feather to feather. All in the fall with winter coming on.
Tell you 'bout a man I borrowed 26 cents from. I wanted to ask what the extra penny was for. I needed a quarter for the next two minutes with you. He said "I was making a wish but I've been listening.
In the cool hour of the evening. The garden gold and breathing. My lover at my hand. Two virgins in the land. and angels on the wing. descending as they sing,.
I'm mulling it over, thoughts at a grasp. You know I'm taking it in now, so much, so fast. I'm riding a feeling into deeper seas. I can't seem to fret now, it don't bother me.
Should I listen to what you say?. Or listen to what your folks say?. It's a tough decision to make.. I don't really want to lose you,. but I don't want your folks to.
I pick up my smile put it in my pocket. Hold it for a while try not to have to drop it. Men are not to cry so how am I to stop it. Keep it all inside don't show how much she rocked ya.
(for Kurt Cobain). I could never see your face. To see if you were really crying. Your hair hung like rain. I would have sworn that you were lying.. One long scream ran through every refrain.
Met my woman on a mountain side. Looking to get warmer, needed a place to hide. She called me in as that day grew long. Lay by the fire, that love, love grew so strong, so strong.
Where the hell did it go?. They say he spent it all on wine and women. But even so--. I know a guy who wrote a song for Garth Brooks. And now he's got it made for life.
I propose to climb Mount Normal. My expedition needs supply. And fortune smiles upon the fool. Who gives at least a try. And in the quest to take Mount Normal.
I was good at tending bar. They called me Our Lady of O'Reilly's. I could talk to me in trouble. and I know the difference between poison and truth. But I crashed my car last March.
There's a winter storm with my name on it. And it's cutting up the coast. On the radar there's a ghost. Clear to the Carolinas. It feels like years since December.
Mother funker!. . If you see her come, you better look away. When she's down for a kill, that bitch is ready to play. If you need some time, she'll hook you for a while.
Don't you give up, don't allow disaster. Don't you give up, don't you let her win. We're talking about a forever after. Don't you give up, don't you dare give in.
