60년대 데모 세션을 위해 레코딩되었던 15곡의 윌리 넬슨 초창기 곡들을 디지털 리마스터링을 거쳐 HDCD로 발매한 매우 의미 있는 앨범. 거의 대부분의 곡들이 지금까지 단 한번도 발매되거나 소개된적이 없는 매우 진귀한 트랙들이어서 그 가치는 매우 높다. 특히 ENHANCED CD로 제작된 이앨범에는 전설적인 싱어 송 라이터인 행크 코크런이 출연하여 윌리 넬슨의 데뷔시기에 ?나 명확한 이해를 돕는 인터뷰가 실려 있기도 하다. 이미 전설이 되어버린 싱어 송라이터의 초기 모습을 만날 수 있다. .... ....
Just watch the sunrise on the other side of town Once more I've waited and once more you've let me down This would be a perfect time for me to die I'd like to take this opportunity to cry You gave your word now I return it to you with this suggestion as to what you can do Just exchange the words I love you for goodbye while I take this opportunity to cry I'd like to see you but I'm afraid that I don't know wrong from right And if I saw you would I kiss you or want to kill you out of sight It's been a long night so I think I'll go home And feed my nightmares they've been waiting all night long They'll be the last ones to tell me goodbye And they'll give me many opportunities to cry They'll give me many opportunities to cry
Three days I dread to see arrive Three days I hate to be alive Three days filled with tears and sorrow Yesterday today and tomorrow
There are three days I know that I'll be blue Three days that I'll always dream of you And it does no good to wish these days would end Cause the same three days start over again
Three days that I dread be alive Three days that I hate to see arrive Three days filled with tears and sorrow Yesterday today and tomorrow
There are three days... Three days that I dread to see arrive... Three days three days
If you can't say you love me say you hate me And that you regret each time you held me tight If you can't be mine forever then forsake me If you can't undo the wrong undo the right It was right when you loved me only But wrong when you held another tight So before you go away and leave me lonely If you can't undo the wrong undo the right It's too late to say your heart is filled with sorrow You can't undo what's done why do you try So please help me to face the new tomorrows If you can't undo the wrong undo the right
Don't be concerned 'cause it's time I learned That those who play with fire get burned But I'll be alright in a little while But you'll be permanently lonely
And don't be too quick to pity me Don't salve my heart with sympathy 'Cause I'll be alright in a little while But you'll be permanently lonely
The world looks on with wonder and pity at your kind 'Cause it knows that the future Is not very pretty for your kind, for your kind Will always be runnin' and wonderin'
What's happened to hearts that you've broken and left all alone But we'll be alright in a little while But you'll be permanently lonely Runnin' lonely
The morning that you left me was just another day How could I see the sorrow that had found me Then you left and told me that I was in your way And I turned and ran as heaven fell around me I stumbled through the darkness my footsteps were unsure I live within a world that had no sunshine When you left me darling my world came to an end And there was darkness on the face of the earth The stars fell out of heaven and the moon could not be found The sun was in a million pieces scattered all around Why did you ever leave me you knew how it would hurt And now there's darkness on the face of the earth
Well I gotta get drunk And I sure do dread it Cause I know just what I'm gonna do I'll start to spend my money Call everybody honey And wind up singing the blues I'll spend my whole paycheck On some old wreck And brother I can name you a few But I gotta get drunk And I sure do dread it Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
I gotta get drunk I just can't stay sober There's a lot of good people in town Who'd like to hear me holler See me spend my dollars And I wouldn't think of lettin' 'em down There's a lot of doctors that tell me That I'd better start slowin' it down But there's more old drunkers Than there are old doctors So I guess we'd better have another round Well now I gotta get drunk
You're wondering just what I'll do now that it's over and done Well that's something to think about and I've already begun I suppose that I'll find a way people usually do But it's something to think about I'll be lost without you
One thing I would have you do please consider the dawn The dawn of your lonely years when youth and beauty are gone And when you can no longer have any sweetheart you choose Here is something to think about I'll still be thinking of you
