(Matraca Berg / Ronnie Samoset). . I see you standing there. Outside the windows of my heart. So cold and shivering. There in your world that is so dark.
Growin' up on the bayou can drive you outta your mind.. Marie was a youngin' when she left the Black Water behind.. It all happened one night. In the back of Jimmy's car.
(Matraca Berg/Ronnie Samoset). . I've searched the world over all of my life. Just looking for something. To make my love shine. Like a candle that burns in the night.
Love. I know that I did you bad and badder. Must have been insane as an old mad hatter then. But pride is a fairy tale sweet darlin'. Lonely is a cold hard fact.

You slip into my room. So I will not hear you. I don't know why you even bother. Your every step, your every move. . Echoes with the silent truth. That you have been with another.
I've done my time alone. I finally beat the blues. Heavens above, I was ready for love. Oh but, I wasn't ready for you. . I crossed some shaky ground.
And there's a man in a Stetson hat. Howlin' like an alley cat, outside my window tonight. Sayin', "Baby, put on something hot. Meet me in the parking lot, about a quarter to nine".
I saw you standing there. Outside the windows of my heart. So cold and shivering. There in your world that is so dark. . I wish that I could set you free.
Saturday, I drove into town. In the co-op where your friends hang out. I heard one say "What's she doing here?". Well, I held my head up high, swallowed my bitter tears..
I watch the sun going down while I stand on sacred ground. Where once the night found us in the twilight of our love. You said you'd meet me here but I'm all alone.
Well, I like to walk my dog in the middle of the night. You can hear us howling in the silvery light. Of the lamp post in the alley, dancing in the rain.
Oh no, here we go, and there you go again,. When we disagree, you leave when you don't win. Honey, your sidewalk baby talk don't get it with me no more.
He came into town in the early springtime. To work with my daddy down in the mines. It was hot in the summer when he said goodbye. And he left me a secret I can no longer hide.
He swore it was over and all in his past. A few hours later his hand's 'round a glass. A voice on the left says, There's peace in the wine. From the right a voice whispers, Don't do it this time.
