Lyrics:
the night
But our love can never see the light of day
It's been going on for much too long now and our wrongs have mounted one by one
We tell ourselves
heavy from drinking
Where the sad, silent song made the hour twice as long
As I waited for the sun to go sinking
I lived by the window as he talked
alone.
John and Linda live in Omaha.
Joe is somewhere on the road.
We lost Davy in the Korean war.
I still don't know what for, don't matter any
But I'd love to hear the banjo ring for me tonight
And I will honor my father with these words I write down
As long as I remember him he'll always
When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall
We used to love while others used to play
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by
Someone else
Hey, John, you evah been to Mississippi?
No, man, but I sure would like to visit down there.
You would?
Well, I'll tell you what then, let us
had someone be part of my life
Never been all by myself all of my life
I kinda relied on too many people for too many things dawg
A nigga be dealin'
the week start on Monday
But the strong start on Sunday
Won't be in bondage to any man
John 8:33
We the descendants of Abraham
Ye should be made free
heavy from drinking
Where the sad, silent song made the hour twice as long
As I waited for the sun to go sinking
I lived by the window as he talked
degrading
He married and had children but money's what he love
He never had time for his kids in oddest ways he shoved 'em
He grew older in his fashion
he loves ev'ry silken curl
That falls on my iv'ry shoulder,
I enjoy being a girl!
When I hear the compliment'ry whistle
That greets my bikini by
for granted
Love's passed me by
So many second chances
I was afraid
I won't be afraid no more
Without love, there's nothing without love
me for like a month, now I'm gettin' high as fuck
Employer tryna write me up, but now I'm a writer
With ambitions of a rider, and half the shit on my
the night
Now love gets hot, but fire preceded water
Poor whiskers set that room alight
Whiskers
Down on Bourbon street
You know it's right
You can
of
As time goes drifting by
The willow bends and so do I
But all my friends whatever skies above
I know a time for spring
A time for fall
But best of all
could be one of these or so many many more
Always at the beck and call of shame
I'm thankful I was called by love
To walk among the happy
But if not for
Our love affair was meant to be
It's me for you dear, and you for me
We'll fuss, we'll quarrel and tears start to brew
But after the tears our
down beside me
Love ain't for keeping
Black ash from the foundry
Hangs like a hood
But the air is perfumed
By the burning firewood
The seeds are
sit down
But before I could, a young man walked over to me an said, "Excuse me, Sir
But I can't let you in with that big black hat, those jeans,
are and we're growin' stronger day by day
Cause we got love times love
It's always there for us to share
And girl it sure feels good to know
You're by
Thank you very much
This next song was written by a man right here in Folsom prison
And last night was the first time I've ever sung this song
often pray before I lay down by your side
If you receive your calling before I awake
Could I make it through the night
Cherish the love we have
We
I wish I didn't love you so, my love for you should have faded long ago.
I wish I didn't need your kiss, why must your kiss torture me as long
often pray before I lay down by your side
If you receive your calling before I awake
Could I make it through the night
Cherish the love we have
We
