Lyrics:
sight to see
And he took them one by one and he drove them all away
In the mating of the day he was the king
Big blue had fifty wives and he sired
The course his heart still steers
He died about a month ago
While winter filled the air
And though I cried, I was so proud
To love a man so rare
He's
should know?"
"Something hidden down below the level of your conversation?"
We he turned away before the answer
Though I yelled aloud he refused
reindeer
With a little old driver so lively and quick
Well I knew in a moment, it must be St. Nick
More rapid than eagles, his coursers they came
And he
just stood there kind of bold
While I acted cold
But when the lovelight starts shining through his eyes
Made me realize I should apologize
And when he
for me every day
Oh, he'd be, he'd be so much, so much better off
If I went away
Oh, but why should I leave him? Why should I go?
He'd be unhappy
a little farther down the track
He said I'm your man I wouldn't do you wrong
Well Frankie curled up on the sofa thinkin' about her man
Far away
smoke
But there's some place that he'd rather be
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
As the smile ran away from his face
"Well, I'm sure
brought him to this world
While he was still a young man the tide of popular opinion turned against him
Most of his friends ran away one of them denied
The course his heart still steers
He died about a month ago
While winter filled the air
And though I cried, I was so proud
To love a man so rare
He's
just stood there kind of bold
While I acted cold
But when the lovelight starts shining through his eyes
Made me realize I should apologize
And when he
He just stood there kind of bold
While I acted cold
But when the lovelight starts shining through his eyes
Made me realize I should apologize
a hospital bed
But he'll never be better
He's already dead
I'm ten miles outside the city
And I'm lifted away
In an ancient light
That is not of day
have him
He isn't my concern
And he can just return where he came from
I would look a trifle silly
Taking him away from you
That was never my
Phone rang, screen said caller ID said blocked
But for some reason I decided to answer it
On the other end was a French accent
He told me we
see things my way
And he won't ever stray or ever go away
Maybe he'll stay
But I hate to take that chance
There he is
Of opening that door
a little ol' driver
So lively and quick
I knew in a moment
It must be St. Nick
More rapid than eagles
His courses they came
As he whistled and shouted
take your guns to town
He laughed and kissed his mom
And said your Billy Joe's a man
I can shoot as quick and straight as anybody can
But I
Drownin' in the Blue Nile
He sent me "Downtown Lights"
I hadn't heard it in a while
My boredom's bone-deep
This cage was once just fine
Am I
Go and throw away the key
Hey good girl
Get out while you can
I know you think you got a good man
Why, why you gotta be so blind?
Won't you
And I heard him say
"Please don't ever go away"
When he held me in his arms
And told me of my many charms
He kissed me while the fiddles played
sure could make him smile
He pays her well but what the hell
He'll be movin' in a little while
Havana daydreamin'
Oh he'll be dreamin' his life away
poor
And that's the way the world is
But I don't believe in laying back
Sayin' how bad your luck is
So he came to jazz it up
Never learned
sprang to his sleigh, and to his team gave a whistle
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle
But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight
