Lyrics:
a place by the river
[Chorus]
It was time when strangers were welcome here
Music would play
They tell me the days were sweet and clear
It was
she land she nah go feel like no stranger
Carry us beyond we similar in behavior
Them no understand our customs and we flavor
Need a natty dred to be
on someone else your own size
Fine
Go prey on some stranger passing by
Hey
Hats off to the things you don't say
Why?
So what's up with the side-eye?
I was in your presence for an hour or so
Or was it a day?
I truly don't know
Where the sun never set, where the trees hung low
By that soft
the feeling go?
What was here is here no more
We are shadows of the night before
Two daytime strangers wake
A long way from the night
We couldn't make
have to please one
Don't put your life in the hands of a man
With a face for every season
Don't waste your time in the arms of a man
Who's no stranger
nothing to see
Just a cool breeze that's encircling me
Let's go for a walk in the garden
So far and so wide
We can sit in the shade by the fountain-side
have to please one
Don't put your life in the hands of a man
With a face for every season
Don't waste your time in the arms of a man
Who's no stranger
'fore I go
To the valley below.
Your daddy he's an outlaw
And a wanderer by trade
He'll teach you how to pick and choose
And how to throw the blade
He
Candy talks to strangers
Thinks her life's in danger
No one gives a damn about her hair
It's lonely down on track street
She used to go by Jackie
cup of coffee
'Fore I go
To the valley below
Your daddy he's an outlaw
And a wanderer by trade
He teach you how to pick and choose
And how
stopping by
And it's funny when I realize all the places that your miracles can hide
Like a sunrise from a lonely night
Like a smile in a strangers eyes
I don't mind the pain, or the jokers' cold refrain
The days pass by so slowly, I count them all again
Silence of a basement, shades all closed
In times like these when night surrounds me
And I am weary and my heart is worn
When the songs they’re singing don’t mean nothing
Just cheap refrains
someone I'm not supposed to know.
CHORUS
Just walk on by, wait on the corner
I love you, but we're strangers when we meet
Just walk on by, wait
bad it's been
But all that pain just don't explain
The shape I see you in
She broke your heart so
You're trying to forget
By staying out all night
And this city never sleeps
I hear the people walk by when it's late
Sirens bleed through my windowsill
I can't close my eyes
Don't control what
And this city never sleeps
I hear the people walk by when it's late
Sirens bleed through my windowsill
I can't close my eyes
Don't control what
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
This city never sleeps
I hear the people walk by when it's late
and lace untied
And sleep fills my mind
Don't control what I'm into
London calls me a stranger
A traveler, oh, oh, oh
This is now my home, my home
Oh
want you to go down
They've hired Pat Garrett to force a showdown.
Billy, don't it make ya feel so low-down
To be shot down by the man who was your
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
This city never sleeps
I hear the people walk by when it's late
really don't want me to
Why, why do I try to help you?
Try to help you when you really don't want me to
You go back to the women who will dance
seemed so far to go
So I headed up to Tahoe for a Christmas on the slopes
And I had fantasized about Christmas in this way
Curled up by a fireplace in
