Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall light There were few at the scene, but they all agreed That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me The judge said: Son, what is your alibi? If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die I spoke not a word, though it meant my life For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me Oh, the scaffold is high, and eternity's near She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear But late at night, when the north wind blows In a long black veil, she cries over my bones She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me |

I come from just the other side of nowhere
To this big time lonesome town. They got a lot of ice and snow here, Half as cold as all the people I've found. Every way I try to go here seems to bring me down. I've seen about enough to know where I belong. I've got a mind to see the headlights shining On that old white line between my heart and home. Sick of spendin' sundays wishing they were mondays Sittin' in a park alone. So give my best to anyone who's left who ever done me Any lovin' way but wrong. Tell 'em that the pride of just the other side o nowhere's Goin' home. Takin' nothin' back to show there For these dues I've paid. But the soul I almost sold here And the body I've been givin' away. Fadin' from the neon nighttime glow here, Headin' for the light of day, Just the other side of nowhere, goin' home. I've got a mind to see the headlights shinin' On that old white line between my heart and home. Sick of spendin' sundays wishin' they were mondays, Sittin' in a park alone. So give my best to anyone who's left who ever done me Any lovin' way but wrong. Tell them that the pride of just the other side of nowhere's Goin' home. Just the other side on nowhere, goin' home |

(Get off stage, Cash. OK?)
Down a dangerous road, I have come to where I'm standing With a heavy heart and my hat clutched in my hand Such a foolish man, God ain't known no greater sinner I have come in search of Jesus, hoping He will understand If I give my soul, will He clean these clothes I'm wearin? If I give my soul, will He put new boots on my feet? If I bow my head and beg God for His forgiveness Will He breathe new life within me and bring her back to me? I had a woman once, she was kind and she was gentle Had a child by me, who grew up to be a man I had a steady job, 'til I started into drinking Then I started making music travelin' with the devil's band Oh the years went by like a mighty rush of eagles Our dreams and plans were all scattered in the wind And it's a lonesome life, when you lose the ones you live for If I make my peace with Jesus will they take me back again? If I give my soul, will he stop my hands from shaking? If I give my soul, will my son love me again? If I give my soul, and she knows i really mean it? If I give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again? If I give my soul, will He clean these clothes I'm wearin? If I give my soul, will He put new boots on my feet? If I bow my head and beg God for His forgiveness Will He breathe new breath within me and bring her back to me? |

Don't call my name out your window, I'm leavin'
I won't even turn my head Don't send your kin folk to give me no talkin' I'll be gone like I said You'd say the same ole things that you've been sayin' all along Lay there in your bed and keep you mouth shut 'till I'm gone Don't give me that old familiar, "cry n' cuss n' moan" Understand Your Man (I'm tired of your bad mouthin') Understand Your Man You can give my other suit to the Salvation Army And everything else I leave behind I ain't takin' nothin' that'll slow down my travelin' While I'm untangling my mind I ain't gonna repeat what I said anymore While I'm breathin' air that ain't been breathed before I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter Then you'll Understand Your Man (meditate on it) Understand Your Man (You hear me talkin, now?)

I asked my love to take a walk
Just a little ways with me And as we walked and we would talk All about our weddingday (chorus) And only say that you'll be mine In no others arms entwined Down beside where the waters flow On the banks of the Ohio I asked her if she'd marry me And my wife forever be She only turned her head away And had no other words to say (chorus) I plunged a knife into her breast And told her she was going to rest She cried "Oh Willy, don't murder me I'm not prepared for eternity." I took her by her golden curls I drug her down to the river-side An I there threw her into drown And I watched her as she floated down (chorus) And going home between twelve and one I cried "Lord, what have I've done?" I've killed the girl I love Because she would not marry me (chorus) |

I woke up this morning in a terrible mood
Now you talk about a woman treatin' a good man rude She had me talkin' to myself, gazin' at that mean ol' wall She had another daddy waitin' down at the end of the hall She changes with the weather like the leaves I recall She blossoms in the spring but then she's gone in the fall A two timin' woman with a heart of solid stone She tells me that she loves me but her heart's a little undergrown Well, she said she'd never leave me but she'd got the urge to roam She drifts around the country like a steamboat on a foam She never changes course, she just goes along that same ol' way And I hope she keeps a driftin' rolls along back home someday 'Cause if I ever find her gonna chain her to the floor And tell her "Now sit there woman you ain't leavin' no more" I'm gonna tame you mama till you're eatin' from my hand It's not that I don't love you honey it's just to make you understand I woke up this morning in a terrible mood Now you talk about a woman treatin' a good man rude She had me talkin' to myself, gazin' at that mean ol' wall She had another daddy waitin' down at the end of the hall |

I live in the cemetery ol' caretaker they call me
In the wintertime I rake the leaves and in the summer I cut the weeds When a funeral comes the people cry and pray They bury their dead and they all go away But through their grief I still can see their hate and greed and jealousy So here I work and I somehow hide from a world that rushes by outside And each night when I rest my head I'm contented as the peaceful death But who's gonna cry when old John dies who's gonna cry when old John dies Once I was a young man dashing with the girls Now no one wants an old man I lost my handsome curls But I wanna say when my time comes lay me facing the rising sun Put me in the corner where where I buried my pup Tell the preacher to pray then cover me up Don't lay flowers where my head should be maybe God let some grow for me And all the little children that I love like my own Will they be sorry that old John's gone Who's gonna cry when old John dies who's gonna cry when old John dies |

I'm just an old chunk of coal
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day I'm gonna grow and glow 'Til I'm so blue pure perfect I'm gonna put a smile on everybody's face But I'm gonna kneel and pray everyday Lest I should become vain along the way I'm just an old chunk of coal, now Lord But I'm gonna be a diamond some day I'm gonna learn the right way to talk I'm gonna search and find a better way to walk I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough-edged self 'Til I get rid of every single flaw I'm gonna be the world's best friend I'm gonna go around shaking everybody's hand I'm gonna be the cotton-pickin' Rage of the Age Yes I'm gonna be a diamond some day I said I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord But I'm gonna be a diamond some day |

Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down
The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below Following the footsteps through the neon-darkened corridors Of silent desperation, never speakin' to a soul The poisoned air he's breathin' has the dirty smell of dyin' 'Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain But Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes Of the clickin' of the turnstile and the rattle of his chain "Oh," she said, "Casey it's been so long since I've seen you" "Here," she said, "just a kiss to make a body smile" "See," she said, "I've put on new stockings just to please you" "Lord," she said, "Casey can you only stay a while" Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the Golden Crown For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones Seein' his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men Who reach for anything they can to keep from goin' home Standing in the corner, Casey drinks his pint of bitter Never glancin' in the mirror at the people passin' by Then he stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the reason Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye "Oh!" she said, "I suppose you seldom think about me" "Now," she said, "now that you've a family of your own" "Still," she said, "it's so blessed good to feel your body" "Lord," she said, "Casey it's a shame to be alone!" |

Refrain:
They wouldn't bend They held on to the will of God so we are told They wouldn't bow They would not bow their knees to Idols made of gold They wouldn't burn They were protected by the Fourth Man in the fire They wouldn't bend They wouldn't bow, they wouldn't burn. Now the prophet Daniel tells about Three men who walked with God Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego Before the wicked king they stood And the king commanded them bound and thrown Into the fiery furnace that day But the fire was so hot that the men were slain That forced them on their way. Refrain: Now when the three were cast in and the king rose up To witness this awful fate He began to tremble at what he saw In astonished tones he spake Did we not cast three men bound Into the midst of the fire Well, Lo, I see four men unhurt Unbound and walkin' down there; There's Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego And the fiery coals they trod But the form of the Fourth Man that I see Is like the Son of God |

Aurora borealis
The icy sky at night Paddles cut the water In a long and hurried flight From the white man to the fields of green And the homeland we've never seen. They killed us in our tepee And they cut our women down They might have left some babies Cryin' on the ground But the firesticks and the wagons come And the night falls on the setting sun. They massacred the buffalo Kitty corner from the bank The taxis run across my feet And my eyes have turned to blanks In my little box at the top of the stairs With my Indian rug and a pipe to share. I wish a was a trapper I would give thousand pelts To sleep with Pocahontas And find out how she felt In the mornin' on the fields of green In the homeland we've never seen. And maybe Marlon Brando Will be there by the fire We'll sit and talk about Hollywood And the good things there for hire Like the Astrodome and the first tepee Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me Pocahontas. |

As long as the moon shall rise as long as the rivers flow
As long as the sun will shine as long as the grass shall grow The Senecas are an Indian tribe of the Iroquios nation Down on the New York Pennsylvania Line you'll find their reservation After the US revolution cornplanter was a chief He told the tribe these men they could trust that was his true belief He went down to Independence Hall and there was a treaty signed That promised peace with the USA and Indian rights combined George Washington gave his signature the Government gave its hand They said that now and forever more that this was Indian land As long as the moon shall rise... On the Seneca reservation there is much sadness now Washington's treaty has been broken and there is no hope no how Across the Allegheny River they're throwing up a dam It will flood the Indian country a proud day for Uncle Sam It has broke the ancient treaty with a politician's grin It will drown the Indians graveyards cornplanter can you swim The earth is mother to the the Senecas they're trampling sacred ground Change the mint green earth to black mud flats as honor hobbles down As long as the moon shall rise... The Iroquios Indians used to rule from Canada way south But no one fears the Indians now and smiles the liar's mouth The Senecas hired an expert to figure another site But the great good army engineers said that he had no right Although he showed them another plan and showed them another way They laughed in his face and said no deal Kinuza dam is here to stay Congress turned the Indians down brushed off the Indians plea So the Senecas have renamed the dam they call it Lake Perfidy As long as the moon shall rise... Washington Adams and Kennedy now hear their pledges ring The treaties are safe we'll keep our word but what is that gurgling It's the back water from Perfidy Lake it's rising all the time Over the homes and over the fields and over the promises fine No boats will sail on Lake Perfidy in winter it will fill In summer it will be a swamp and all the fish will kill But the Government of the USA has corrected George's vow The father of our country must be wrong what's an Indian anyhow As long as the moon shall rise (look up) as long as the rivers flow (are you thirsty) As long as the sun will shine (my brother are you warm) as long as the grass shall grow |

Well about the time my Daddy left to fight the big war
Saw my first pistol in the general store In the general store when I was thirteen Thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen I asked if I could have one when I grew up Mama dropped a dozen eggs and she really blew up She really blew up and I didn't understand Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand She really blew up and I didn't understand Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand My very first pistol was a cap and ball Colt Shoot as fast as lightnin' but it loads a mite slow It loads a mite slow and I soon found out It can get you into trouble but it can't get you out Then I went and bought myself a Colt .45 Called a Peacemaker but I didn't know why I never knew why and I didn't understand 'Cause Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand I never knew why, I didn't understand Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand I got into a card game in a company town Caught a miner cheating and I shot the dog down Shot the dog down, watched the dog fall Never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw The trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed Asked me how I pleaded, not guilty I said Not guilty I said, you've got the wrong man Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand Not guilty I said, you've got the wrong man Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand |

With the twilight colors falling
And the evening laying shadows Hidden memories come stealing from my mind As I feel my own heart beating out The simple joy of living I wonder how I ever was that kind But the wild road I was rambling Was always out there calling You said a hundred times I should have died Then you came down and touched me And lifted me up with you So I believe that it was a road I was meant to ride I'm like a soldier getting over the war Like a young man getting over his crazy days Like a bandit getting over his lawless ways I don't have to do that anymore I'm like a soldier getting over the war Nights and days that arn't remembered And there's pain that's been forgotten And other things I choose not to recall There are faces that come to me That I thought were long forgotten Faces that I wish would not come back at all But in my dreams parade of lovers From the other times and places There's not one that matters now, no matter who I'm just thankful for the journey And that I've survived the battles And that my reward for victory is you I'm like a soldier getting over the war Like a young man getting over his crazy days Like a bandit getting over his lawless ways I don't have to do that anymore I'm like a soldier getting over the war |

I got a friend named Whiskey Sam
He was my boonierat buddy for a year in Nam He said is my country just a little off track Took 'em twenty-five years to welcome me back But, it's better than not coming back at all Many a good man I saw fall And even now, every time I dream I hear the men and the monkeys in the jungle scream Drive on, it don't mean nothin' My children love me , but they don't understand And I got a woman who knows her man Drive on, it don't mean nothin', it don't mean nothin' Drive on I remember one night, Tex and me Rappelled in on a hot L.Z. We had our 16's on rock and roll But, with all that fire, was scared and cold We were crazy, we were wild And I have seen the tiger smile I spit in a bamboo viper's face And I'd be dead, but by God's grace Drive on, it don't mean nothin' My children love me , but they don't understand And I got a woman who knows her man Drive on, it don't mean nothin', it don't mean nothin' Drive on It was a real slow walk in a real sad rain And nobody tried to be John Wayne I came home, but Tex did not And I can't talk about the hit he got I got a little limp now when I walk And I got a little tremolo when I talk But my letter read from Whiskey Sam "You're a walkin' talkin' miracle from Vietnam" Drive on, it don't mean nothin' My children love me , but they don't understand And I got a woman who knows her man Drive on, it don't mean nothin', it don't mean nothin' Drive on. |

Father
It's not time to make a change, Just relax, take it easy. You're still young, that's your fault, There's so much you have to know. Find a girl, settle down, If you want you can marry. Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy. I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy, To be calm when you've found something going on. But take your time, think a lot, Why, think of everything you've got. For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not. Son How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again. It's always been the same, same old story. From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen. Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away. I know I have to go. Father It's not time to make a change, Just sit down, take it slowly. You're still young, that's your fault, There's so much you have to go through. Find a girl, settle down, if you want you can marry. Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy. Son All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside, It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it. If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them you know not me. Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away. I know I have to go. |

He said, "I'll love you 'til I die."
She told him, "You'll forget in time." As the years went slowly by, She still prayed upon his mind. He kept her picture on the wall. Went half crazy now and then. But he still loved her through it all, Hoping she'd come back again. Kept some letters by his bed, Dated 1962. He had underlined in red Every single 'I love you'. I went to see him just today, But I didn't see no tears. All dressed up to go away, First time I'd seen him smile in years. He stopped loving her today, They placed a wreath upon his door, And soon they'll carry him away, He stopped loving her today. You know, she came to see him last time. And we were all wonderin' if she would. And it kept runnin' through my mind, This time he's over her for good. He stopped loving her today, They placed a wreath upon his door, And soon they'll carry him away, He stopped loving her today. |

Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears
While we all sup sorrow with the poor There's a song that will linger forever in our ears Oh, hard times, come again no more. 'Tis the song, the sign of the weary Hard times, hard times, come again no more Many days you have lingered all around my cabin door Oh hard times, come again no more. While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay There are frail forms fainting at the door Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say Oh, hard times, come again no more. 'Tis the song, the sign of the weary Hard times, hard times, come again no more Many days you have lingered all around my cabin door Oh hard times, come again no more. There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away With a worn heart, whose better days are o'er Though her voice it would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day Oh, hard times, come again no more. 'Tis the song, the sign of the weary Hard times, hard times, come again no more Many days you have lingered all around my cabin door Oh hard times, come again no more. 'Tis the song, the sign of the weary Hard times, hard times, come again no more Many days you have lingered all around my cabin door Oh hard times, come again no more. |

I am a lineman for the county
And I drive the main road Searching in the sun For another overload I hear you singing in the wires I can hear you through the whine And the Wichita lineman Is still on the line I know I need a small vacation But it don't look like rain And if it snows That stretch down south Won't ever stand the strain And I need you more than want you And I want you for all time And the Wichita lineman Is still on the line And I need you more than want you And I want you for all time And the Wichita lineman Is still on the line |

I wish I was an apple, a-hangin' on a tree And every time my Cindy passed, she'd take a little bite of me. Get along, home, Cindy, Cindy, get along home. Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, I'll marry you one day. Well, Cindy is my honey the sweetest in the south, When we kissed to bees would all swarm around her mouth. Get along, home, Cindy, Cindy, get along home. Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, I'll marry you one day. Well, I wish I had a needle and thread, fine as I could sew. I'd sew my Cindy to my side and down the road I'd go. Get along, home, Cindy, Cindy, get along home. Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, I'll marry you one day. Well, Cindy got religion. She'd had it once before, She grabbed my ole banjo, man and throw it on the floor. Get along, home, Cindy, Cindy, get along home. Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, I'll marry you one day. Well, it's apples in the summer time, peaches in the fall. If I can't have the gal I want I won't have none at all. Get along, home, Cindy, Cindy, get along home. Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, I'll marry you one day. Cindy hugged and kissed me, she hung her head and cried, I swore she was the prettiest thing that ever lived or died. Get along, home, Cindy, Cindy, get along home. Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, I'll marry you one day I'll marry you one day |

To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around him didn't have too much to say No one dared to ask his business no one dared to make a slip for the stranger there amongst them had a big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip It was early in the morning when he rode into the town He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around He's an outlaw loose and running came the whisper from each lip And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip big iron on his hip In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead He was vicious and a killer though a youth of twenty four And the notches on his pistol numbered one an nineteen more One and nineteen more Now the stranger started talking made it plain to folks around Was an Arizona ranger wouldn't be too long in town He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead And he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red After Texas Red Wasn't long before the story was relayed to Texas Red But the outlaw didn't worry men that tried before were dead Twenty men had tried to take twenty men had made a slip Twenty one would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip The morning passed so quickly it was time for them to meet It was twenty past eleven when they walked out in the street Folks were watching from their windows every-body held their breath They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death About to meet his death There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their play And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about to-day Texas Red had not cleared leather when a bullet fairly ripped And the rangers aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered round There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground Oh he might have gone on living but he made one fatal slip When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip Big iron Big iron When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip The Big Iron on his hip |

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken So I hung my head and I cried. You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away I'll always love you and make you happy, If you will only say the same. But if you leave me and love another, You'll regret it all some day: You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away You told me once, dear, you really loved me And no one else could come between. But now you've left me and love another; You have shattered all of my dreams: You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me When I awake my poor heart pains. So when you come back and make me happy I'll forgive you dear, I'll take all the blame. You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away |

There's a man going around taking names
And he decides who to free and who to blame Everybody won't be treated all the same There'll be a golden ladder reaching down When the Man comes around The hairs on your arm will stand up At the terror in each sip and in each sup Will you partake of that last offered cup? Or disappear into the potter's ground When the Man comes around Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers One hundred million angels singing Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum Voices calling, voices crying Some are born and some are dying It's Alpha and Omega's kingdom come And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree The virgins are all trimming their wicks The whirlwind is in the thorn tree It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks Till Armageddon no shalam, no shalom Then the father hen will call his chickens home The wise man will bow down before the thrown And at His feet they'll cast their golden crowns When the Man comes around Whoever is unjust let him be unjust still Whoever is righteous let him be righteous still Whoever is filthy let him be filthy still Listen to the words long written down When the Man comes around Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers One hundred million angels singing Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum Voices calling and voices crying Some are born and some are dying It's Alpha and Omega's kingdom come And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree The virgins are all trimming their wicks The whirlwind is in the thorn tree It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks In measured hundred weight and penny pound When the Man comes around. |

I have heard of a land on the far away strand
'Tis a beautiful home of the soul Built by Jesus on high, there we never shall die 'Tis a land where we never grow old Never grow old, never grow old In a land where we'll never grow old Never grow old, never grow old In a land where we'll never grow old In that beautiful home where we'll never more roam We shall be in the sweet by and by Happy praise to the king thru eternity sing 'Tis a land where we never shall die When our work here is done and the life crown is won And out troubles and trials are o'er All our sorrows will end and our voices will blend With the loved ones who've gone on before |

Some glad morning when this life is over,
I'll fly away. To a home on God's celestial shore, I'll fly away. I'll fly away, O Glory, I'll fly away. (In the morning) When I die, Hallelujah, bye and bye, I'll fly away. When the shadows of this life are gone, I'll fly away. Like a bird from prison bars has flown I'll fly away. I'll fly away, O Glory, I'll fly away. (In the morning) When I die, Hallelujah, bye and bye, I'll fly away. Just a few more weary days and then, I'll fly away. To a land where joy shall never end, I'll fly away. I'll fly away, O Glory, I'll fly away. (In the morning) When I die, Hallelujah, bye and bye, I'll fly away. |

On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye To Canaan's fair and happy land, Where my possessions lie. I am bound for the promised land, I am bound for the promised land; Oh who will come and go with me? I am bound for the promised land. O'er all those wide extended plains Shines one eternal day; There God the Son forever reigns, And scatters night away. I am bound for the promised land, I am bound for the promised land; Oh who will come and go with me? I am bound for the promised land. No chilling winds or poisonous breath Can reach that healthful shore; Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and feared no more. I am bound for the promised land, I am bound for the promised land; Oh who will come and go with me? I am bound for the promised land. When I shall reach that happy place, I'll be forever blessed, For I shall see my Father's face, And in His bosom rest. |

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same? Will it make it easier on you now You've got someone to blame? You said One love One life When it's one need In the night One love, we get to share it It leaves you, baby, if you don't care for it Did I disappoint you Or leave a bad taste in your mouth? You act like you never had love And you want me to go without Well it's Too late Tonight To drag the past out Into the light We're one, but we're not the same We get to carry each other Carry each other One Have you come here for forgivness? Have you come to raise the dead? Have you come here to play Jesus To the lepers in your head? Did I ask too much? More than a lot? You gave me nothing, now It's all I got We're one, but we're not the same Well, we hurt each other, and we're doin' it again You said love is a temple Love the higher law Love is a temple Love the higher law You ask me to enter But then you make me crawl And I can't be holdin' on To what you've got When all you've got is hurt One love One blood One life You've got to do what you should One life with each other Sister Brothers One life, but we're not the same We get to carry each other Carry each other One One One One |
