and i wonder when i sing along with you if everything could ever feel this real forever if anything could ever be this good again
It's been a hard road but there's no turning back And there's no end in sight to this darkening night and that's a sad fact I hear you come down to the graves at Inchigeela For to walk through the stones of the names we have known, and there I'll meet you I'm laying out the table for to welcome you back home I'm calling on the angels for to lighten up your load I'm calling on the majors to end this general despair In the graveyard at Inchigeela, in black clothing I'll be there
Child with a child pretending Weary of lies you're sending home So you sign all the papers in the family name You're sad and you're sorry but you're not ashamed, little green Have a happy ending And a fantastic story I just learned while checking the lyric !

No I'd rather go and journey Where the diamond crescent's glowing And run across the valley Beneath the sacred mountain And wander through the forest Where the trees have leaves of prisms And break the light in colors That no one know the names of
Rolling, tumbling Sure ain't done me no harm Drinking, sinking Just been too bad on my arm Well I finally lost Rita and Greta went home I guess that leaves just me and you Been kinda sneaky to get you alone Oh but you in that dress Destination Burlesque I got all my cards in one shoe
I am the storm and I am the wonder And the flashlights, nightmares And sudden explosions I don't know what more to ask for I was given just one wish It's about you and the sun A morning run The story of my maker What I have and what I ache for I've got a golden ear I cut and I spear What else is there?
'Cause I'll fish when I get hungry Shoot my guns if I need love If I wanna breathe a bit better I'll hit that mountain up above I'll go huntin' in the mornin' Once again in the evenin' time And if I start a-missin' you I can hit them city lights Bambambam Bombombom Bommabom Bombom bombom Derrnerrnerrnerr nerrnerrnerr Danananerrrnerrr nerrrrr
You thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever, But you rode upon a steamer to the violence of the sun. And the colours of the sea bind your eyes with trembling mermaids, And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses, How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing, For the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white laced lips. And you see a girl's brown body dancing through the turquoise, And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea. And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body, Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind. The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers, And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter. Her name is Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell, And you know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands With tales of brave Ulysses, how his naked ears were tortured By the sirens sweetly singing. The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers, And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.
She said "don't, don't let it go to your head, boys like you are a dime a dozen boys like you are a dime a dozen," she said You're a touch overrated You're a lush and I hate it But these grass stains on my knees they don't mean a thing
like a cat that's playing with a ball of twine that you call my heart oh but baby is it so hard to tell the two apart and so slowly you unwind it, 'til i fall apart
They say we learn by our mistakes and then we carry on sometimes i'm not sure, sometimes i'm not sure there's no brakes on this car as it rolls down the hill my muscles are straining now, my foot's through the floor.
I'm spinning round, round, round, round Smoke glass stain'd bright colors Image going down, down, down, down Soapsud green like bubbles America
Everywhere is freaks and hairies Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity Tax the rich, feed the poor Till there are no rich no more? I'd love to change the world But I don't know what to do So I'll leave it up to you Population keeps on breeding Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy Life is funny, skies are sunny Bees make honey, who needs money, Monopoly I'd love to change the world But I don't know what to do So I'll leave it up to you
Baby, won't you take it back Say you were tryna make me laugh And nothing has to change today You didn't mean to say "I love you" I love you And I don't want to.
To all those dealing with an aging relative who is suffering from dementia or alzheimer's.. Grandma burned the biscuits Nearly took the house down with it Now she's in assisted livin' We all knew that day would come We knew she was too gone to drive The day she parked on I-65 Found her on the shoulder cryin' She didn't know where she was It's like her mind just quit Oh, but bring up Grandpa It's like someone flipped a switch A front porch light and a blue DeSoto Couple of straws in a Coca-Cola You could see it all goin' down A handsome boy in army green A tear on his face, down on a knee Shaky voice, a diamond ring She'll put you in that town Tomorrow she won't remember what she did today But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas, 1948 She takes out his medals A cigar box of letters Sits and scatters pictures Black and whites of days gone by We started losing her when she lost him But to hear her carry on You'd swear she's seventeen again Football games and leaves are cracklin' Walking her home in his leather jacket You can see it all goin' down A perfect night on a front porch glider Sayin' goodnight for the next three hours Her tired eyes grow wide and bright When she talks about that town Tomorrow she won't remember what she did today But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas, 1948 While the world is fading all around her Sharin' a sundae at the counter He's goin' on and on about her Bet she's right there right now Tomorrow she won't remember what she did today But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas, 1948
