We can make it, I know we can Only time will tell Let's take a walk down to the water Let's go the well You hear that low humming underground Hear the skylark in the dell The wild world is speaking Let's go to the well
Sometimes my heart feels like a dandelion Seeds scattered in a careless wind And nothing to show for my life and time but Innocent wonder in the face of thunder Feeling like something is about begin
Let's build a bonfire For the stories we tell Of wild years, the wasted tears Ant he silent way they fell See the curls of smoke rising up To the big old sky as the moonlight falls down over those distant hiss I don't want to be anywhere else anymore let's go to the well
you better believe my faith in you it is wide and steady as a Texas moon and when this stuff starts rolling through its as all innocent wonder in the face of thunder feeling like something is coming soon
We can make it, I know we can Only time will tell Let's take a walk down to the water Let's go the well
… and let's go down to those hills through the trees across the rocky path ? down to the Blanco river ? come with me darling, the sky is a so big today?my heart's so full? c'mon, lets go to the well now, babe
I had a dream, woke up shaking The moon breaking through the tress And in the stillness of the evening I heard a rustling in the leaves And I saw a panther in the yard Moving slow across the ledge With silver eyes and a cool regard And hunger with a cutting edge
Open the door, let it in This mystery you found It's all yours now Come lay the panther down
So I called the eagle and the raven said My prayer to the sky with the moon as my witness I looked the panther in the eye and beheld His violent beauty That cut so deep and hard Through my civilized indifference And reckless disregard
So I open the door and let it in This mystery I found is all mine now Time to lay the panther down
In every heart there is room A sanctuary safe and strong To heal the wounds from lovers past Until a new one comes along I spoke to you in cautious tones You answered me with no pretense And still I fear I’ve said too much My silence is my self defense
For every time I’ve held a rose It seems only felt the thorn And so it goes and it goes And so will you soon, I suppose But my silence made you leave Then that would be my worst mistake So I will share this room with you And you can have this heart to break
And this is why my eyes are closed It’s just as well for all I’ve seen And so it goes and so it goes And you’re the only one who knows So I would choose to be with you That’s if the choice ere mine to make But can make decision, too And you can have this heart to break
And this is why my eyes are closed It’s just as well for all I’ve seen And so it goes and so it goes And you’re the only one Who knows
Well, she's up against the register An apron and a spatula With yesterday's deliveries And tickets for bachelors She's a moving violation From her conk down to her shoes But she's just an invitation to the blues
But you feel like cagney And she looks like Rita Hayworth At the counter of the Schwab's drugstore You wonder if she might be single She's a loner, likes to mingle Got to be patience, try to pick up a clue She says how you gonna like'em Medium or scrambled? Any way is the only way Be careful not to gamble On a guy with a suitcase And a ticket getting out here It's tired bus station And an old pair of shoes Ain't nothing but an invitation to the blues
But you can't take your eyes off her Get another cup of java And it's just the way she pours it for you Joking with the customers Oh mercy, Mr. Percy! There ain't nothing back in jersey But a broken down jalopy Of a man i left behind And a dream that i was chasing A battle with booze An open invitation to the blues
Ah, but she's had a sugar daddy And a candy apple caddy A bank account and everything Accustomed to the finer things He left her for a socialite He didn't love her except at night And then he's drunk And never even told her that he cared So she took the registration Car keys and her shoes Left with an invitation to the blues
Now there's continental trailways leaving Local bus tonight, good evening You can have my seat I'm sticking round here for a while Get a room at squire The filling station's hiring And I can cat here every night What the hell have I got to lose Got a crazy sensation Go or stay, I gotta choose I'll accept your invitation to the blues
my home has been a warrior field where now and then I've seen a rainbow rising over the graves down in the gentle green and as I waltzed across the mine time sped to breathlessly as I fought for love and I sang for love too late, love comes to me
I saw you coming over the hill So strong, so brave, so true I fell down to my knees and cried The way I used to do It came at such surprise to me I thought those tears had passed Is it god who laughs this heart awake? Too late, love comes at last
O lovers how they come and go Like waves upon the shore Brave hearts can drown in the briny deep And still cry out for more My treasure's in the water now My pearls are lost at sea And my heart must bend like a rainbow Too late, you've come to me
The moment we said good bye Silence tore across the sky The riverbed by wide and dry As far as I could see And someone said My ghost was found Laying her burden down Taking the long way around Underneath the moon…
Somewhere on the prairie, A little cross in mine A simple wooden marker With a plastic rose is entwined And in the stillness of the twilight As the tumbleweeds wind I am crawling like a scorpion across the melancholy time
so shred the poems let the wild birds chase them in the breeze let them make their nests from words like “please?? put those dreams to rest throw them at the moon blow the confetti across the golden west
I was the fragrance in the wild flower Opening for only you In the delicate hour Before the cold shot through Ten thousand years from now You’ll put your hand in mine Remembering a fragrance Full of melancholy time
You see those ravens breaking the prairie sky? We used to go where ravens fly Our giddy laughter made the angels cry to fly as free as you and i
somewhere on the prairie a cross, a rose, a shrine standing for true love gone before its time there goes your shadow down the highway out that road I could’t fine while I crawl like a scorpion slowly to the new word across these miles of prairie full of melancholy time
We can make it, I know we can Only time will tell Let's take a walk down to the water Let's go the well You hear that low humming underground Hear the skylark in the dell The wild world is speaking Let's go to the well
Sometimes my heart feels like a dandelion Seeds scattered in a careless wind And nothing to show for my life and time but Innocent wonder in the face of thunder Feeling like something is about begin
Let's build a bonfire For the stories we tell Of wild years, the wasted tears Ant he silent way they fell See the curls of smoke rising up To the big old sky as the moonlight falls down over those distant hiss I don't want to be anywhere else anymore let's go to the well
you better believe my faith in you it is wide and steady as a Texas moon and when this stuff starts rolling through its as all innocent wonder in the face of thunder feeling like something is coming soon
We can make it, I know we can Only time will tell Let's take a walk down to the water Let's go the well
… and let's go down to those hills through the trees across the rocky path ? down to the Blanco river ? come with me darling, the sky is a so big today?my heart's so full? c'mon, lets go to the well now, babe
