This is a story. That happened long ago. I never thought love would ever find me. Only infernal pain and woe. . Weeping and wailing. 'Saw gold and could not drink'.
There's a mockingbird singing in a tree. Outside my window looking down on me. Give me a reason, something to believe. Another season I will sit and grieve.
Oh daddy, lay on my bed. Ooh daddy, lay on my bed. You'd better take that shotgun. And fill it full of lead. . Ooh daddy, love to hear you moan low. Ooh daddy, love to hear you moan.
Oh Sally, don't you cry. Oh Sally, don't you cry. The man's the man. Does the best he can. Oh Sally, don't you cry. . Oh Sally, don't you moan. Oh Sally, don't you moan.
Tell me how I play around. So you say, "I don't want you". Go and play your little game. But still I'm going to haunt you now. . Wearing your guitar. Letting your soul cry.
If you ever find that you've fallen behind. Please keep me in mind, sweetheart. If your love is true. Then my money's on you. And you'll know what to do, sweetheart.
The sun, the moon and the stars too. Fall to my feet when I'm with you. Wilderness fades with dark decay. December's June, November's May. . This land flows with milk.
Love used to be a stranger to me. Love was so disappointing. I was waiting for a sign. I was looking for some company. So I took a walk outside. What a lucky day.
Do you ever wanted to look beyond. The clouds and the stars?. Want to know what causes the trees to burn. And what changes the darkness into the light?.
Take your time. Take it real slow. It takes time. You know. . Do unto. As you would do. To yourself. It's not new. . What you reap. Is what you sow. Work it, stop.
And now you come to me. Offering a rainbow. And now you come to me. With love for tomorrow. . But now we must be wise. We have both been burnt here. I'm looking in your eyes.
