Poor Adeline, Poor Adeline. Where's your heart? Where's your mind?. First in the crowd, last in the line. The world can be so unkind. The winds gonna blow, the rains gonna call.
I'm a wildflower by the highway,. Up against the rain. I'm an old man, growing tired,. Getting used to the pain,. . I'm a wildflower in a garden,. Tended everyday,.
Oh, woe is mine. Oh, woe is mine. Dark days a-coming. Lord, woe is mine. . Poor lonesome boy. Poor lonesome boy. Dark days a-coming. Oh, lonesome boy.
If you don't see me, caught in your wire. If you don't hear me, outside your door. If all this waiting, just leaves me wanting. You still would be, the sweetest waste of time.
Will you rise or will you fall?. Will you walk or will you crawl?. Will you dream in black and white. When you're sleeping cold tonight?. . Will you bend or will you break?.
Smoke don't rise, fuel don't burn. Sun don't shine no more. Late one night, sorrow come round. Scratching at my door. . But I cut my hands and break my back.
If I wasn't all you wanted. If I wasn't even close. Only hope that I made you smile. Maybe more than once in a while. . If you never felt the blessing.
He was walking across the wire holding a loaded gun. Taking out every light bulb one by one. And she was building brand new walls to keep her safe and sound.
No one cries up here. No one cries up here. Shed your burden out of your tear. No one cries up here. . No one hurts up here. No one hurts up here. Sorrow fades and disappears.
They make no sounds,. They ring no bell. Leaving no traces,. They got no tales to tell. . They find no home,. They make no love. Casting no shadow while balancing above.
I'll trade those city lights and crowded sky's. Roll down snake river with a box full of flies. . Come on white water make this old girl sing. And teach this young girl how to western swing.
Got no nails in the floor. Got no hinges on the door. Empty frames on the walls. Ain't no ghost in the halls. . You can build with earth and stone. Make a place of your own.
Could be everywhere you've been. Falling somewhere in between. The lines from place to place. . Could be everything you see. In this tragic comedy. Of smiles without a face.
I wish I knew what I should say. I wish I knew that you would stay. I wish I knew how to live. I wish that I had more to give. I wish I knew what you were thinking.
You can set me up. Just to break your fall. You can set me up. I don't mind at all. . 'Cause I've been waiting. For something beautiful. To blow up in my face.
You know all that you could be. A big opportunity. And you wanna disappear. . The walls won't let you sleep tonight. You're throwing the title fight. You wanna disappear.
It's the fortune in your hand. It's the spotlight where you stand. It's the answer you don't know. It's the space left when you go. . Don't know what you want.
I could be a stranger and never know your name. I could be a hero and never take the blame. But I can change, I can change. . I could be a pistol that aims at anyone.
I'll move it out into the light. I just can't leave it alone. I'm somewhere in America. And you're asleep at home. . Take it out over the edge. Watch it sinking like a stone.
You come out swinging again. Up on a wind and down on a friend. It's a fine day. . It gets so cold in here. You burn up in the atmosphere. For a fine day, a fine, fine day.
