Ballad Of The Snow Leopard & The Tanqueray Cowboy Lyrics - Singles - Lyle Lovett

Comfort me said she 

With your conversation 

With the cocktails 

And the candlelight 

In your eyes 

It's funny how we hunger 

For some inspiration 

And everything else 

That money just won't buy 

Men have lied 

Many good girls have gone astray 

Just to hear the gypsy play 

One more lilting cowboy tune 

And as the rivers run dry 

And the mountains blow away 

They sing of lovers and how they lay 

Beneath this crazy frontier moon

I ain't no golden boy 

I ain't no grecian dancer 

And I ain't no loudmouthed cowboy 

From the west 

I'm not the kind of man 

With all the answers 

But I surely know the songs 

That suit me best 

But lately I've had something on my mind 

It's growing stronger all the time 

Calling out when I'm alone 

But I'm a poet 

And I'm bound to walk the line 

Between the real and the sublime 

And give the muses back their own

It's a penny for your thoughts 

It's a dollar for you kisses 

Keep a running tab on the time 

'cause what I've got the most of 

Is what she misses 

The clock is hers 

The hourglass is mine 

But I'm her lover 

Not a man bent on revenge 

Hanging out here on the fringe 

Of my native borderlands 

Counting the days 

The sun shone golden across her head 

Lying on the banks of the bayou's edge 

Kicking up some southeast texas sand
