Dear one, I had enough. Killjoy hold up in above. I been sick and tired playing out my day in a dream. Hurry up, hurry up it's late. I'm dying in the shadow.
My harp is tuned to the mourning wind. My flute to the voice that weeps within. And I taught the widows' hearts to sing. You're such a nasty little girl.
Please let me be the one. To see you in the day. To know you in the night. I'd run to your side. Better know that you're from. Another side of town, long way.
Gonna build a fire. Lead the choir in my song. As I climb the walls. Walk the halls to be strong. . Once it was around my schoolboy days. New lines were drawn and rules were made.
Tell us what to do black-eyed Susan. Should I leave you where I found you. Or take you back to him. We first met at night that's why we were never friends.
I'm flat-busted, wild-eyed and free. I couldn't get arrested if I tried. A has-been at a mere thirty-five. . Straight, honest, forthright and true. Great expectations for someone.
Took a walk down Paramount. (I've seen better days). Left behind a friend of mine. (I've seen better days). Passed by a statue of Saint Augustine in prayer.
Here comes the weather. It's looking like another storm. If all desire. Would leave this tired boy alone. . Hopes haunt me like ghosts. They point their fingers.
As I lay upon my bed, I begin dreaming. Of how it's gonna be the day that I am free. Once I settle like the dust upon the table. But then you came along.
Pick up the pieces and pack up your mind. You don't ask for what you have to find. Many people rolling out to sea. Let loose those floodgates that have held you back so long.
I just wanna remember you. The way you're standin' there. With that 'hurry home'-look in your eyes. And flowers on the table. . Sometimes I see too much.
When you had a brief encounter with your fortune and your fame. Well, I stood beside and watched the fans that followed. I saw you from a distance. And I heard them call your name.
Some people think I'm crazy. Try to understand. I get satisfaction. Of everything I can. . Losers and the winners. Laughter and the tears. Noises of the day to day.
Tell me now if you came sneaking up behind. Would you know me and see behind the smile. I can change like colors on a wall. Hoping no one else will find what lies beneath it all.
The words that you said. They still ring in my head. Don't you know. We say goodbye. With a tear in our eye. Oh, where'd you go. . It's alright you can sleep tonight.
Hey. It might never be the same. We might never live those days. Gone by but we can try. . Mornin'. Let's kick the babies out of bed. How 'bout you and me instead.
And then came disappointment. A path for my feet. When I was around you. What's found is yours to keep. . Say that I'm your one and only. This love I have for you.
Stole my dreams, stole my dreams, stole my dreams. Sold the shoes, sold the shoes, sold the shoes. . If you're gonna live in Memphis. No idea who you're talking to.
You're a bottle cap away. From pushing me too far. Well the problem's gettin' big. An empty compact car. So I won't feel so bad. I did all I could do.
Answer me, it can't be so hard. Cry to relieve what's in your heart. Desolation, grief and agony. . Trying to move. Down in this grave. Trying to believe in every faith.
