Last night all alone in a barroom met a girl with a drink in her hand. She had ruby red lips and coal black hair and eyes that would tempt any man. Then she came and sat down at my table and as she placed her soft hands in mine.
I am free as the trees free to wander anywhere I please. What all this world and the seven seas. Couldn't call me away if I could stay in these arms holding me.
Morning comes and spreads tomorrow on my bed so softly I can feel the darkness grow. Leaving like the girl who walked across my world and took the only love I'll ever know.
Gonna tell the world I love you can't keep it quiet. Everything I dreamed of darling came true tonight. Love that's been needed to make my life complete.
I'm making ready for the nighttime and just waiting your knock on my door. When the evening sun is gone then the light of love comes on after dark after dark.
Walk us through. All the remnants of the aftermath. The stakes where high I knew. But i could not stop. . Two aimless arrows fell. And I motioned you.
Todd Snider. . You know just the other morning I was hanging around in my house. I had that new book with pictures of Madonna naked. I was checkin' it out.
About her eyes, now they're misty shinin'. About her hair, it's long and clean. About her face, now it's soft and smiling. But you can't trace her thoughts.
Thank you for being beautiful in my time. That's something real to evaluate all my life. For the taste with which you choose and give your life to. You gave me in the forms of what you're into.
They say you can't hold on. To time when it's gone. But somehow I've saved. All those yesterdays. . And they're bittersweet. Every memory. Back when we both made.
Leave it to me, turn nothin' into somethin'. Nothin's workin' out just fine. More than a dream, I'm thinkin' things I shouldn't. Knowin' that you'd never be mine.
I told him that I loved him cause I loved him at the time. And I told him that I didn't want any other lips touchin' mine. I whispered love your kisses are sweeter than the wine.
Are you sincere when you say I love you are you sincere when you say I'll be true. Do you mean every word that my ears have heard. I'd like to know which way to go will our love grow are you sincere.
Are you certain when you say you care do you love me with some love to spare. I'm gonna ease right out of the one side of love affair. So be certain when you say you care.
Crying in the darkness cause I'm going through another lonely night. Waiting till the morning brings you home. Trying to believe you cause you say each time you're gonna treat me right.
You didn't love me long until the thrill was gone. Then another made me your old used to be. How long can her love last when a new wears oh so fast. There'll always be another then another and another just like me.
I've tried so hard to keep our home alive but you don't even care that I'm around. You tell me that somehow our love has died. And you'd rather be set free than be tied down.
Oh you sit there and smile and you hold him by the hand. You make him a failure and break him as a man. You know he was mine you took the things I claimed.
You say you want to take me out so we can paint the town. Well, I don't care a thing about you're kind of running 'round. The town will go unpainted if you depend on me.
They say you've found somebody new. But that won't stop my loving you. I just can't let you walk away. Forget the love I have for you. . Yes, I could find somebody too.
