Sweet Jesus hanging on the line What do you think he's trying to find Up there? Just purple swede and silver hair Well I've got a wish for you Which will probably never come true Well I'm waiting there But your touch is something rare I don't know who you are Out in space or in a star The world is your oyster Mine is a broke down car Well Satan he's a bundle of fun He'll get along with everyone But me 'Cause he know that I can see I know that you're his best friend I'll still be searching for you 'til the end Of time Probably I don't know who you are Out in space or in a star The world is your oyster Mine is a broke down car Wish I knew who you are

She got gold dust Sprinkled in her hazel eyes She got gold dust Sprinkled in her hazel eyes She'll split in half Any man alive Why you going now When you know it's gone too far Well I've seen a lot of women But none of them kept so many scars You keep howlin' At the moon for fun When I hear you howlin' I make for the moonlight and run To help Keep me from the shadows Johnny Keep me from the shadows Mary Keep me from the shadows Anybody Keep me from the shadows She's a spirit of the night time Moonlight burns her skin She's a spirit of the night time Moonlight burns her skin I'm hiding in the meadow But I still hear her grin She blew the wind through my hair And I turned into a pile of dust She pulled my hand to her breast And my fingers began to rust She's got witchcraft in her lipstick Lord knows I do what I must To keep me from the shadows Anybody Keep me from the shadows My honey She keeps me from the shadows She keeps me Running from the shadows Lying in the desert Just my and my ball aching head Lying in the desert Just me and my ball aching head Forget my woman I'll have a drink of water instead All I got's a bottle of whiskey And a whole lot of god damn time Guess I'll just pour me another As I watch the clouds roll by The way baby looked at me I wanna hang my head and cry Leave me in the shadows Keep me in the shadows Got nowhere to go but the shadows Leave me in the shadows

True Love 05:31
I saw you sitting there With your long range waves and your nut-brown hair And I wonder, why did you just happen here Just to up and disappear? I saw you lying next to me Laughing in a sunny sea And wonder, why didn't I open up And fill your mind up with true love? Woman With your worldly pleasures And unknown treasures Be mine Sick and sad, led astray Waiting for walls to wash away I'm swimming in an ocean to find you someday Maybe tomorrow, but not today I'd take you to some far off place And all we'd have is time, all we'd have is space But I wonder, am I ever who you're thinking of? Doubtful is the nature of this love You're more precious then any gem or jewel But you'd probably take me as a fool Well I don't wonder whether these feelings are real I know just exactly how I feel Woman With your worldly treasures And unknown pleasures Be mine Sick and sad, led astray Waiting for walls to wash away I'm swimming in an ocean to find you someday Maybe tomorrow, but not today

Well I fall in love With you more every day But I fall in doubt When you throw my thoughts away Your strong ivory bones Well they keep your head on tight But that road looks long Are you going to be alright? Just like a rainbow Beauty we can never find Well I've had enough Wondering what you're all about My skin ain't that tough You make me want to shout Now can't you see You're fading like a memory But I hide you in All the good times that will be Just like a rainbow Beauty we can never find I do believe This is where the pathway ends But there might be more Something more around the bend Let's start anew Out of the lines you drew Let's start something new Just like a rainbow Beauty we will never find Well I fall in love With you more everyday And I fall out of doubt When you wash my tears away

I'm longing for now And I'm lost in your smile And I'd like to watch it grow And I want you to know That I love your smile Run after me Standing still so you can see All that I wanted to be was love Under the clouds high above And I love your smile You would walk through the grass And only think of time that's passed But you know that it won't last You know you just have let it pass When I say I love your smile Won't you still for a little while My little child And as the days came and went Spent all my money on my rent As the days came went All my love that I sent to you Was put in a picture of loving skies And all that they lied about Well they sucked this ground dry Of all the moonshine and the wine But I love your smile (x2) Though I let you go Where you wanted to go Well I just want you to know Love you wherever your heart goes So won't you tell me what you feel I know it is, it is real Someone's listening through the door Don't have to whisper anymore I love your smile (x3) With the wind in your hair With the night on your mind With the sun in your eyes With the night on your mind I love your smile (x2) Oh the breeze by your face Will you hold me to you And stay in this place And stay next to you I love your smile (x2) Oh the moon in the trees And just let it be Oh the wind throug the trees Blowing kisses to me And I love your smile From the start new it was meant to be Just open your eyes and just see I love you truly Don't want to control you, babe I just want you to know that I love your smile Oh you've been, you've been so many places But I can't find a trace And when I see pretty faces You are all I see 'Cause you are in everyone, everyone to me I love your smile

Everybody seems to know why I can't sleep at night Afraid to look deep into your eyes and slip out of sight I get swept up by vibrations in everything you do Ive been waiting at the station searching for clues I left home but now I'm coming back You were breaking my bones on every sidewalk crack I left home, now I'm coming back I still dream 'cause the road goes on, at least for now Got second thoughts about the path I chose, but I can't change it anyhow So many things you taught me from far away So much beauty you have brought me, it's easy to say I left home but now I'm coming back You were breaking my bones on every sidewalk crack I left home, now I'm coming back You never gave me no wings So now I can't fly away Ongoing is the story, not a fairytale Somehow clinging onto pieces that I put up for sale You know the only way to save time is to run along Want you to know that I do it for you, trying to stay strong I left home but now I'm coming back You were breaking my bones on every sidewalk crack I left home, now I'm coming back

Smoke was crowding in the blue sky I was there and saw you lie To the one and then you cried And tried to stay out there And the face was full of yearning Months to spend you yearly earnings On the love you knew Already the smoke was falling Sheets like this and birds were calling From the trees outside Oh I found you on that day Where the sheets were and where you lay There across from me, across the way But through the haze I saw you smiling There where the bricks were piling Found the blue sky once more frowning From above moon was drowning In the fog and lights were flashing Coming out like ink around them Found the way it left them craching there So like the cars and like the passing traffic Slowling going manically away Waiting where they see the way is clear Oh your curtains, oh your sheets Are rolled upon and rolled beneath the bed Where we once lay And I found it there That there were stains upon Upon the linen where we lay Oh my darling, oh my lovely Oh the time has spared nothing Of the way the light is shimmering above the clouds

Alright I know that I waited too long To say I don't want to wait No more But you might Come over, and listen to my song For a while, and rest your eyes If they're sore Alright Maybe I'll never find out Just where your heart was Back there But you might Come forward, and let it out Don't be afraid To care I will wait for a lifetime to be The one who eases your mind of misery I can't believe I let you get away Guess I'm still waiting for a lifetime just in case I will wait for a lifetime to be The one who heals your mind of misery And I can't believe I let you go away Guess I'm still waiting for a lifetime just in case Alright I know that I waited too long To say I don't want to wait No more No more No more
