Cowboy Junkies Lament Lyrics - Black Eyed Man - Cowboy Junkies

Baby hit the back door 

breathin' real heavy 

said the boys in the alley 

wouldn't leave her alone 

Mama did her make-up in a terrible hurry 

she finally got ready 

but the boys were gone 

Mama don't you worry, 

night's approachin' 

there's a hole in heaven 

where some sin slips through 

just close your eyes and dream real steady 

maybe just a little will spill on you

Dark don't lie 

Dreams come true 

Could be a few will see you through 

Old lady Rose, lookin' down her nose 

at lonely Miss Lily hiding in the hall 

Lily's just praying for the trial to be over 

lady Rose just waiting for the axe to fall 

Show me off on the way to town 

the sky's still shiny 

and the earth's still brown 

Tell the judge I'm ready for the vases 

gonna dance in their faces 

when the guitar sounds 

Won't be long 

I won't be gone 

Been leaning toward the shadows all along 

Photos 

Those in the know say so it goes 

you plan on reapin', you better sow 

You plan on sleepin', 

you better keep movin' 

sleepin' ain't allowed around here, 

you know 

Tell me please when the rollin's over 

Me and my baby gonna have some fun 

Bury our backs in a bed of clover 

Smile in style while the sun goes down 

Snake eyes cry 

Boxcars sigh 

Seven's stuck in the middle 

just wonderin' why 

Dark don't lie 

Dreams come true 

All it takes is one or two 

Maybe just a few will see you through
