| [00:20.126] |
There’s a long-distance train rolling through the rain |
| [00:25.526] |
|
| [00:25.571] |
Tears on the letter I write |
| [00:29.831] |
|
| [00:29.896] |
There’s a woman I long to touch and I miss her so much |
| [00:35.516] |
|
| [00:35.561] |
But she’s drifting like a satellite |
| [00:40.091] |
|
| [00:40.150] |
There’s a neon light ablaze in a green smoky haze |
| [00:46.336] |
|
| [00:46.337] |
And laughter down on Elizabeth Street |
| [00:50.755] |
|
| [00:50.825] |
There’s a lonesome bell tone in that valley of stone |
| [00:56.261] |
|
| [00:56.332] |
Where she bathed in a stream of pure heat |
| [01:00.836] |
|
| [01:00.908] |
Her father would emphasize you got to be more than streetwise |
| [01:06.940] |
|
| [01:07.013] |
But he practiced what he preached from the heart |
| [01:11.338] |
|
| [01:11.351] |
A full-blooded Cherokee, he predicted it to me |
| [01:17.005] |
|
| [01:17.064] |
The time and the place that we part |
| [01:22.674] |
|
| [01:22.720] |
There’s a babe in the arms of a woman in a rage |
| [01:27.744] |
|
| [01:27.790] |
And a longtime golden-haired stripper onstage |
| [01:33.010] |
|
| [01:33.076] |
And she winds back the clock and she turns back the page |
| [01:37.360] |
|
| [01:37.420] |
Of a book that no one can write |
| [01:43.569] |
|
| [01:43.644] |
Oh, where are you tonight? |
| [01:55.879] |
|
| [01:55.939] |
The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure |
| [02:00.860] |
|
| [02:00.920] |
To live it you have to explode |
| [02:05.720] |
|
| [02:05.780] |
In that last hour of need, we entirely agreed |
| [02:11.285] |
|
| [02:11.345] |
Sacrifice was the code of the road |
| [02:16.505] |
|
| [02:16.572] |
I left town at dawn, with Marcel and St. John |
| [02:21.161] |
|
| [02:21.191] |
Strong men belittled by doubt |
| [02:26.062] |
|
| [02:26.122] |
I couldn’t tell her what my private thoughts were |
| [02:31.162] |
|
| [02:31.232] |
But she had some way of finding them out |
| [02:35.729] |
|
| [02:35.789] |
He took dead-center aim but he missed just the same |
| [02:41.294] |
|
| [02:41.354] |
She was waiting, putting flowers on the shelf |
| [02:45.749] |
|
| [02:45.826] |
She could feel my despair as I climbed up her hair |
| [02:51.584] |
|
| [02:51.648] |
And discovered her invisible self |
| [02:56.549] |
|
| [02:56.594] |
There’s a lion in the road, there’s a demon escaped |
| [03:01.845] |
|
| [03:01.888] |
There’s a million dreams gone, there’s a landscape being raped |
| [03:06.928] |
|
| [03:06.989] |
As her beauty fades and I watch her undrape |
| [03:12.031] |
|
| [03:12.104] |
Well, I won’t but then maybe again I might |
| [03:17.691] |
|
| [03:17.751] |
Oh, if I could just find you tonight |
| [03:29.706] |
|
| [03:29.772] |
I fought with my twin, that enemy within’ |
| [03:34.746] |
|
| [03:34.791] |
Til both of us fell by the way |
| [03:39.231] |
|
| [03:39.276] |
Horseplay and disease is killing me by degrees |
| [03:44.781] |
|
| [03:44.853] |
While the law looks the other way |
| [03:49.266] |
|
| [03:49.325] |
Your partners in crime hit me up for nickels and dimes |
| [03:54.591] |
|
| [03:54.651] |
The man you were lovin’ couldn’t never get clean |
| [03:59.886] |
|
| [03:59.950] |
It felt outa place, my foot in his face |
| [04:04.477] |
|
| [04:04.538] |
But he should-a stayed where his money was green |
| [04:09.755] |
|
| [04:09.824] |
I bit into the root of forbidden fruit |
| [04:14.585] |
|
| [04:14.659] |
With the juice running down my leg |
| [04:18.815] |
|
| [04:18.860] |
Then I dealt with your boss, who’d never known about loss |
| [04:24.815] |
|
| [04:24.881] |
And who always was too proud to beg |
| [04:28.865] |
|
| [04:29.335] |
There’s a white diamond gloom on the dark side of this room |
| [04:34.899] |
|
| [04:34.915] |
And a pathway that leads up to the stars |
| [04:39.595] |
|
| [04:39.660] |
If you don’t believe there’s a price for this sweet paradise |
| [04:44.484] |
|
| [04:44.547] |
Just remind me to show you the scars |
| [04:49.119] |
|
| [04:49.187] |
There’s a new day at dawn and I’ve finally arrived |
| [04:54.924] |
|
| [04:54.970] |
If I’m there in the morning, baby, you’ll know I’ve survived |
| [04:59.754] |
|
| [04:59.799] |
I can’t believe it, I can’t believe I’m alive |
| [05:04.825] |
|
| [05:04.869] |
But without you it just doesn’t seem right |
| [05:09.930] |
|
| [05:09.960] |
Oh, where are you tonight? |
| [05:14.730] |
|
