I keep on livin'. To keep from cryin'. I keep on dreamin'. To keep from dyin'. I keep on trying. I ain't gonna stop. . Get right down to the bottom of the barrel.
I never meant to be a burden. Oh I just worry more than I'd like to. I never meant to be a burden. Please forgive me if I've weighed on you. . For so long I have lived amongst the shadows.
Woah, black river. Gonna take my cares away. Woah, black river. Gonna take my cares away. . Gonna take my cares. Gonna carry my cares. Gonna take my cares away.
The darkness has always been,. The world was born into a blanket of sin,. When all the faith's been gone,. Still we found a reason to carry on,. . [Chorus].
Baby I want you, baby I want you. Baby I do. Darling I love you, darling I love you. Know that it's true. . Don't leave me here out on my own. Don't you know how I hate to be alone.
All my best days are behind me now. Photographs tell of my wedding vows.. And if you want heroes then I'd sail up to the stars. For all I got beneath my skin are tears and scars..
Blow, silver wind, with a whoop from the mountains,. Strike up a tune in the ropes and the rig!. Blow, lucky breeze, come kiss the white canvas,. the anchors are up, boys, it's time for a swig..
Well sally is the girl that comes from our alley,. Way hey, bully in the alley,. Sally is the girl from shinbone alley,. Bully on the shinbone now. So help me bully in the alley.
Flies in amber, sand in soap. Air trapped in the glass. Tongue-tied, I cut and run. Fleeing ever faster. . Behind the armory. I will never let you see.
Why does the heart of the flame burn blue?. Why do January cherries bloom?. Why do blue fires burn in me, yet not in you?. . How can the prairie flocks keep their courses true.
Down around Biloxi. Pretty girls are swimming in the sea. Oh they look like sisters in the ocean. The boy will fill his pail with salted water. And the storms will blow from off towards New Orleans.
All night long I could not sleep. For ringing in my ear. I heard a sweet, soft melody, yes I did. The words at first, I couldn't make out clear. The black cloud had drifted away.
Now that your darlin' keeps you home. There goes the best war we've ever had. Now that nobody's all alone. We'll turn forgiveness to forget. . If you're in town you'll look me up.
I am the cost and I am the loss. I am the wreck that became your cross. The burden you bore that cursed your lot. The blood-stained, buried dreams that you sought.
Layin up in bed, all night with you again. Yeah we hide from the next day. Cos we know we know that I,. in the end I really can't stay. Pleasure & pain are both the same and love is just a losing game.
