Let it slip away. john hiatt. Love only stays for a little while baby. that's what i said cause i was scared. too scared to say what you mean to me baby.
I'm 34 years old now. And I've come to you. Baby I don't even know how. I got through. . From the first kiss in the schoolyard. Til the last heart broke in two.
That girl you were seein' back in '72. Somethin' 'bout a hotel room and bath water in your shoes. Were you into your Catholic thing then or some other stew.
She came onto him like a slow movin' cold front. His beer was warmer than the look in her eyes. She sat on a stool, he said, "What do you want?". She said, "Give me a love that don't freeze up inside.".
Well I'm out here on my own. Followin' a star. Asking on my knees, for some direction, please,. And, God, you know that's hard. . Cause I'm such a stubborn man.
I'm a real man, I got a real guitar. I'm a real man, don't even know where the boys are. I don't want to frighten you little girl, you're so sweet and nice.
I would have thought time would erase. I'll never get over you. The feeling's lost in your embrace. I'll never get over you. . But still I try. And still I cry.
Why did she wear that dress tonight. Why did she bring that stranger. She looks put out in the party lights. Which leaves us all in danger. When she drops her perfumed hankie.
I know a place. Where the dogs ain't barking. I know a place. Where the sun don't shine. . I know a place. Where the gosts do the talking. In the back of my mind.
I thought I had your number - there must be some mistake. I dialled 6 - 3 - 7 - 11 - 88. I got some geezer; said his girlfriend's on the town. I said, "I've got the wrong number," and I slammed the phone down.
She took some blood and tears. From an old fruit jar. She rubbed it on her belly. Where he left his scars. She's such a fragile thing. Like pigeon bones.
Who tipped you off. How could she betray me. These hungry fingers. They found us guilty for love. And she said her lips were sealed. Easing my conscience.
Hurt My Baby. . No Need To Be Explicit. Anyone Can See. Injury Was Permanent. The Wound Was Really Deep. Doesn't Talk About It Much. I Listen When She Does.
Tonight I'm howling at a foreign moon. Might as well be a junkie's spoon. For all the light it's given me. Sinking in my misery. . It's been forty days and forty nights.
Howlin' Down The Cumberland. . Caught Like A Deer In My Own Headlights. Frozen On This Road Tonight. I Had A Fix On The Brightest Star. Now I'm Not Sure Where You Are.
How Bad's The Coffee. . How Long You Been Workin' Here?. Well What Do You Know About That?. Its Been Thirty Years Or So. Since I Bothered Lookin' Back.
When the road gets dark. And you can no longer see. Just let my love throw a spark, baby. Have a little faith in me. . When the tears you cry. Are all you can believe.
If I could go back to love's first blush. Oh my lordy it would be a big rush. But I know you can't go back. You gotta keep moving that's a natural fact.
I used to stumble up to your door. Three thousand kisses on the living room floor. But we don't do that kind of thing anymore. Cause we both graduated.
Well she was a millionaire. Before she was fourteen. But there was an emptiness there. That to practically everyone else could be seen. She hit up on the drug of love.
