She wore red dresses. with her black shining hair. She had my baby. and caused me to care. Then coldly she left me. to suffer and cry. 'Cause, She wore red dresses.
You're the one. You're the one. That made me cry. Oh you're the one. That laughed at me. Then said goodbye. You're the one. You're the one. That made me blue.
Please don't start me cryin'. 'Cause I'll go on for days. It don't take a lot. But once this starts, it stays. . Talking used to help. Here lately though, that justs brings it on.
I walked in. There said slim. Cleaning up his memory with some sapphire gin. Mr. Paine grabbed my arm. Pulled me aside. And said kid are you ready for the wild ride.
Who at the door is standing. Patiently drawing near. Entrance within demanding. Whose is the voice I hear. . All through the dark hours dreary. Knocking again is He.
Chorus:. What I don't know. Might not hurt me. If I stay dumb. And no one tells. But if I find out. That you've been cheatin'. What I don't know. Might get you killed.
Hey look yonder, Henry, comes the sherrif. And he's carrying a warrant in his hand. Don't you run, poor old Henry, for he'll shoot you. Lord, Lord. Not long will you be a free man.
If deep in the night (if deep in the night). You hear a voice calling. Lost and alone (lost and alone). Barely able to speak. . With each weary step (with each weary step).
The nighttime gets longer each morning I wake up. With sunlight that's long overdue. I start making plans for having thoughts that might take up. Some of the time that I'll spend missing you.
Chorus:. I'll still see you walking, silently. Through the shadows in my mind. A vision of your sweet blue eyes. Creeps into my dreamful sleep at night.
Making my way downtown. Walking fast. Faces passed. And I'm home bound. . Staring blankly ahead. Just making my way. Making my way. Through the crowd.
This much I know. She'll never come back to me. This much I know. She meant what she said. This much I know. It's taught me all about misery. I just learn kinda slow.
They say this drinkin' will kill me. I don't know, oh Lord, it might be true. If I stop I'll just die from your leavin'. So either way that I go, it's 'cause of you.
These arms. That hang here by my side.. These arms. That ache to open wide.. Useless arms. With nothing left to do. Since these arms. Stopped holding you..
She said, baby things change. i said, but i feel the same. she said, well let me explain. baby, how things can change. I said, but that doesn't show. how a love that could grow.
Inside the pocket of a clown. Is a sad place to hang around. Just watching smiles turn into frowns. Inside the pocket of a clown. . Inside the heartache of a fool.
To the Lord's defenders at the last surrender. Granted passage to the other side. Where he shall cherish in his name those who've perished. And embrace with everlasting life.
I pay rent on a run-down place. There ain't no view but there's lots of space. In my heart, the heart that you own. . I pay the rent, pay it right on time.
Take a rock, tie a rope. Throw it down in the sea. Let it fall to the bottom. Nobody knows how deep. Stare real hard through the water. And you might just perceive.
Don't you sleep. Don't you have a single moment's peace. Just walk through the darkness. With fears that are deep. And don't you even sleep. . Don't you smile.
