Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,; Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
Darkness at the break of noon
The night is pitch black, come an' make my; Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,; To see that you're madly in love.
You cast your spell and I went under,; I find it so difficult to leave.
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
I want to thank You, Lord,; I just want to thank You, Lord,; Thank You, Lord.
And you never ask questions; When God's on your side.
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,; He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
He said his name was Columbus; I just said, "Good luck."
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
For the loser now; Will be later to win
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
That long black cloud is comin' down
Just what do you think you have to guard?
Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink; Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
Precious angel, you believe me when I say; What God has given to us no man can take away.
Well, if I had to do it all over again,; Babe, I'd do it all over you.
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
If God's on our side; He'll stop the next war.
My head tells me it's time to make a change; But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,; Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,; Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
Build a fire, throw on logs; And listen to it hiss; And let it burn, burn, burn, burn; On a night like this.
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
If this is love then gimme more; And more and more and more and more.
What looks large from a distance,; Close up ain't never that big.
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
It's the last temptation; The last account; The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount,; The last radio is playing.
For I know that you know that I know that you know; Something is tearing up your mind.
You say you love me; And you're thinkin' of me,; But you know you could be wrong.
But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain; That could hold you dear lady from going insane
Some things are too hot to touch; The human mind can only stand so much
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
Mama, take this badge off of me
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
I see people in the park forgetting their troubles and woes; They're drinking and dancing, wearing bright colored clothes; All the young men with their young women looking so good; Well, I'd trade places with any of them ; In a minute, if I could
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind; You could have done better but I don't mind; You just kinda wasted my precious time
You think you can hide but you're never alone,; Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
She said, "Be easy, baby,; There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,; Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,; With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,; Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
I can't help it if I'm lucky.
If there's a poor boy on the street,; Then let him have my seat; 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
