Dark eyed lady
I believe you are the one I loved before
You are the one I loved before
the earthly cares around us
My world was dull each minute, until I found you in it
And all at once the happiness I knew
Became these quiet nights of loving
knew you then, but do I know you now?
Walter, you are just an echo of a world I knew so long ago.
Walter, if you saw me now, you wouldn't even know
At the levee
And I'm a child of a backseat freedom, baptized by rock and roll
Marilyn Monroe and the Garden of Eden, never grow up, never grow old
Just
Reuben James in my song you'll live again
And the phrases that I rhyme
Are just the footsteps out of time
From the time when I knew you, Reuben
to be.
I knew you then but do I know you now?
Walter, you are just an echo of a world I knew so long ago
If you saw me now you wouldn't even know my
the earthly cares around us
My world was dull each minute, until I found you in it
And all at once the happiness I knew
Became these quiet nights of loving
Far across the blue waters
Lives an old German's daughter
By the banks of the old river Rhine
Where I loved her and left her
But I can't forget
I might live a little longer dear
A sick mother said to her son
I will leave you when the roses disappear
They're fading one by-why one
Then
by, my love grew stronger
Knew that I just couldn't wait any longer
For I couldn't let you go
And I had to tell you so
That I loved you, then you
Lord, I've never lived where churches grow
I loved creation better as it stood
That day you finished it so long ago
And looked upon your work
loved you more
It took me by surprise I must say
When I found out yesterday
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer
me to be?
I can forgive you but I won't re-live you
I ain't the same scared kid I used to be
I'm gonna live
I'm gonna survive
I don't want
to be?
I can forgive you but I won't relive you
I ain't the same scared kid I use to be
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna survive
Don't want the world to pass me
Lord, I've never lived where churches grow
I loved creation better as it stood
That day you finished it so long ago
And looked upon your work
Of the house I was born in
There's but a stone on the stone
And now all 'round the garden
Wild thistles have grown
And gone are the neighbours that I once knew
me to be?
I can forgive you but I won't re-live you
I ain't the same scared kid I used to be
I'm gonna live
I'm gonna survive
I don't want
When shared by two 'stead of one
When you said, you loved me, said oh darling
And we could not be parted, no way
Then I built my world around you, honey
Spending these lonesome evenings
With nothing to do
But to live in dreams that I make up
All by myself
Dreaming that you're beside me
I
want his friends to see him cry
He knew the day was dawning
And I didn't have a chance to say goodbye
In this life I loved you most of all
What
and me have all gone to waste
Cause in the world you live now for me there is no place
Gone is the sweet and simple girl that I have loved so long
a garden
A kiss by a lazy lagoon
Catching a breath of moonlight
Humming our favorite tune
This is a lovely way to spend an evening
I want to save all my
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee
California is a garden of Eden, a paradise to live in or see
But believe it or not, you won't find it so hot
If you ain't
the fault was all mine
Couldn't take it any more
By the grace of God (there was no other way)
I picked myself back up (I knew I had to stay)
I put one
