I am not such a clever one. About the latest fads. I admit I was never one. Adored by local lads. Not that I ever try to be a saint. I'm the type that they classify as quaint.
I often wonder why he came to me. Brought such a flame to me. . And let it die. And if another love should find my heart. It will remind my heart of your goodbye.
Though folks with good intentions. Tell me to save my tears. Well I'm so mad about him. I can't live without him. . Never treats me sweet and gentle. The way he should.
Sunday morning woman come and get you. Down by the river I'm gonna hold you under. Might be baptism. Might be murder. Either way you're bound to see the light.
Break bread on the water,. Rub me down.. And touch me where you wanna,. It's been awhile.. . You ease back for a moment,. But I need it now.. I can't speak much louder,.
Once I laughed when I heard you saying. That I'd be playing solitaire. Uneasy in my easy chair. It never entered my mind. . And once you told me I was mistaken.
In the water the squidling be dancing. From above the water there's no life to see. For so long I only ate plankton. But now that I'm dying the nekton eat me.
I took a trip on a train. And I thought about you. I passed a shadowy lane. And I thought about you. . Two or three cars parked under the stars. Winding stream.
I never cared much for moonlit skies. I never wink back at fireflies. But now that the stars are in your eyes. I'm beginning to see the light. . I never went in for afterglow.
Away beyond the hills in Idaho. Where yawning canyons greet the sun. As it smiles above the trees in Idaho. To say another night is done. Warm summer winds toss the waving grain.
'Cause it's been so long. Since I held you tight. When we said good night. It's been so long. Honey, can't you see. What you've done to me?. I've been in a kind of daze.
I'm a very ordinary man. Trying to work out life's happy plan. Doing unto others as I'd like to have them doing unto me. . When I find a very lonely soul.
Days can be sunny with never a sigh. Don't need what money can buy. Birds in the trees sing their dayful of songs. Why shouldn't we sing along?. I'm chipper all the day.
I'm surrounded by my enemies, mean me no good. Every time I start a fight they put water all on my wood. But that's alright, Lord I know better now. Well, that's alright, friends I know better now.
I'm a stranger, just blowed in your town. So I want my train fare home, so I have no worries on my babe. . I'm a stranger here, just blowed in your town.
I love you, baby, baby, please don't go. Well, I love you, baby, baby, please don't go. If you leave me babe, you know it's gonna hurt me so. Babe, you sure look fine to me.
