Always a Flame |
Now you must tell me how it's been
For I have walked alone
The narrow winding way
You'd better hurry
Your time is now
What was that worry
It's warm, it's warm, it's warm inside
It's warm, it's warm here in my heart
When you're all done dustin'
Crumble within me
Please lay me to waste
You'd better hurry
Your time is now
What was that worry
It's warm, it's warm, it's warm inside
It's warm, it's warm here in my heart
When will I see you
When will you appear
When will you return
When will it be here...
I will never forget you
I'll never forget you
Oooh I'll never forget you
The boys and girls are all here
Sister Suzie is asking for the sun
You'd better hurry
Your time is now
What was that worry
It's warm, it's warm, it's warm inside
It's warm, it's warm here in my heart
When will I see you
When will you appear
When will you return
When will it be here...
When will I see you
When will you appear
When will you return
When will it be here...
Would be a shame
to ask me by again
After all I've said and done
You really should have known
That's life after all
.......prevails
It seems so hard
Cast a glance to me
I'm pouring in the rain
And it's at your-
Shame, shame
Don't pass me by, don't pass me by
(not again)
Shame, shame
Don't pass me by, don't pass me by
And I call
And pray that you'll appear
I slip into the shade
Will you save me anyway
That's a disgrace
And truth
Like black and white, no proof
I only have your words
Your words are not enough
And it's such a-
Shame, shame
Don't pass me by, don't pass me by
(not again)
Shame, shame
Don't pass me by, don't pass me by
Shame, shame
Don't pass me by, don't pass me by
(not again)
Shame, shame
Don't pass me by, don't pass me by
Not again, shame, shame
Not again, shame, shame
Not again, shame, shame
Shame, shame, pass me by
We're southern boys with western smiles
We've got it where it counts
See it for miles
Our hearts are gold and our teeth are clouded
Our bones are thin and our lips are shrouded
In mystery
When Stephen smiles my heart just seems to grow
If only I could let that poor boy go
Skinny body, skinny body
Skinny body, skinny body
Won't you pick my pieces up from the floor
I'm up here on the shelf, I'm here
When it comes to perfect smiles, I'm fast
I hope you feel as I do, I do
'Cause we're southern boys with western smiles
We're southern boys with western smiles
Stephen, Stephen
Seems that I've been left up here on the shelf again
If you'd come I'd surely dust my skinny bones down
I'd give you every single dream you wanted
I'd even smile for you
I'd even cry if you just want me to
When Stephen smiles my heart just seems to grow
When Stephen smiles my heart just seems to grow
When Stephen smiles, when Stephen smiles
You'll know, you'll know, 'cause you'll know
You'll know, 'cause you'll know
Skinny body, skinny body
Skinny body, skinny body
I must go now
Leave this place that you have gone
There are new lands and new horizons
Where did I go wrong?
For I am empty and broken
Happiness, it can't be found
How far below must I sink
Before I come around
Could it be you don't spend enough time with me
Could it be you don't spend enough time with me
Running through the waves
I'm running through the waves
Running through the waves
I'm running through the waves
Used to say I'm all you wanted
You belonged to me
But, now I must travel
You're just a memory
Could it be you don't spend enough time with me
Could it be you don't spend enough time with me
Running through the waves
I'm running through the waves
Running through the waves
I'm running through the waves
Guess I'm just an immigrant
I don't belong here
Got nothing to keep me
I'll just run on through the waves
Running through the waves
I'm running through the waves
Running through the waves
I'm running through the waves....
Your hair is turning blue
Your words are coming through
You wear that dress twisted, torn and blue
By themselves I know
He's worth waiting for
For you see, yeah, I do
Well, thin things are shivering
Well, thin things are shivering
I'm blue, I'm blue, I'm blue
You're from the cotton fields
Yeah, but J.A., he's out there bailing hay
He's got muscles...
Did you see the cow with the furrowed brow
He's laughing out
You can pick me up and put me down
Do what you want,
... you've had enough
I hope I can feel, I hope I'm not blind
I hope I can feel, I hope I'm not blind
Poppa says keep a civil tongue in your head
Don't talk about it
Just pick right up where you left off
Don't think on it
I hope I can feel, I hope I'm not blind
I hope I can feel, I hope I'm not blind
Weep for her (did you see the cow?)
Weep for her
Weep for her (did you see the cow?)
Weep for her
Love lovely love
Love lovely love
Love lovely love
Love lovely love
Weep for her (did you see the cow?)
Weep for her
Weep for her (did you see the cow?)
Weep for her
You wounded me again
Tugged at my nerve ends
I hope I can feel, I hope I'm not blind
I hope I can feel, I hope I'm not blind
(Don't talk about it)
You wounded me again
Tugged at my nerve ends
I'm wired
Weep for her (did you see the cow?)
Weep for her
Weep for her (did you see the cow?)
Weep for her.....
You got it good
I've had it bad
I've got my girls ..... in my ear
Your Mama could smile
She could really try
She'd better give in, she'd better give in
She'd better give in...
Worth waiting for
You're worth waiting for
Worth waiting for
You're worth waiting for......
Your father's a hood
He has his head
Wrapped up in some sugar plum fairy
He's got it
Mama calls him rotten
She yells like hell
She better give in
She better give in
She better give in
Give in...
Worth waiting for,
You're worth waiting for
Worth waiting for
You're worth waiting for
This is the voice of the social security
Wondering where the hell you've been
You were due to sign on last Monday
But, you're worth waiting for
Worth waiting for
You're worth waiting for
Worth waiting for
You're worth waiting for
It's you in that dress
But your hair's just a mess
I just got to wait
And I just want it
Words could not be spoken
Not even a token
You better give in
You better give in
You better give in
Give in...
Worth waiting for
You're worth waiting for
Worth waiting for
You're worth waiting for
You said that life
Can be so wonderful
And you love this boy
With his head in the clouds
You helped, you helped
You helped me with a ..........
Made me turn around, turn around, turn around
Do things myself
Who said that friends were there to be relied upon
Who said the choice could do me no harm
What's worse you're loud, you're clear , you're right
Made him turn around, turn around, turn around
To face himself, to face himself
To face himself, to face himself
To face himself
I will lose my head, lose my head, tonight
That's right, embolden me
Lose a stone, lose a stone, lose a stone, lose a stone
Thought you might be taken by me
Look at your nose, look at your nose, look at your nose
I'd rather not, you're so wonderful
Take off your clothes, take off your clothes
I'd rather not
Not your rich and sweet boy
Rather not, rather not
Look at your nose, look at your nose, look at your nose
Who said that friends were there to be relied upon
Who said the choice could do me no harm
The words you spoke were loud and clear
Made me turn around, turn around, turn around
Look at your nose, look at your nose
Wonderful rockabilly girls
Look at your clothes, look at your clothes
Rockabilly boys
Wanna take a hold, wanna take a hold
Rockabilly girls
Look at your clothes, look at your clothes
Rockabilly boys, boys, boys, boys boys....
Oh, I never thought
I'd get to meet you
Let alone find the things
We found you call the river
You've had enough of boyfriends
I've had enough of new
But never mind about the fading star
I can only wash away
And while away the day
Wash away, while away the day
Wash away, while away the day
?................?
I never thought that it would
But, what about these fading scars
I can only wash away
As they fade away
Wash away, while away the day
Wash away, while away the day
Wash away, while away the day
Wash away, while away the day
Wash away, while away the day
Wash away, while away the day
Wash away
Why can't I have you again
Why can't we be such friends
I was down in the woods with you
You're no fun
You brought someone along
I didn't know her
She was blue with you
I was wrong, I know
We talked for hours night and day
Mesmerized by the Cole Porter crazy ways
My my, just be one with me
But just like a sister, perfectly
Let's all fall
And in the distance two wildcats prowl
And in the distance two wildcats howl
woooooooooooooo
A dozen hopes of you
For me to pull down
All the rooftops are falling
Around my head, oh no
My my, just be one with me
But just a sister, perfectly
All fall down
(let me, just let me)
We better fall down
(Let me, just let me, let me)
Fall down
(let me, just let me, let me)
Down to the floor
Where else would you go....
I know I know I know who you are
I know I know I know who you are
You weren't there, you were someone else
You were someone
In doubt in doubt yet
In and out no sign
In doubt you push
In doubt you stumble
In doubt you hope
I know I know I know
Oh, speak to me, please speak to me
I wait on your lips, on your lips
I know I know I know who you are
Speak to me, speak to me
Someone else
I know I know I know who you are
I know I know I know who you are
Your eyes they shine they start up so bright
Your eyes they shine they start up they're mine
I know I know I know who you are
I know I know I know who you are
Cradle my head
Break my arms again
Don't bring in those henchmen
The way they tear my toes
It's gorgeous
My guilty secrets are unfolding
Before your eyes
You're such a carbon copy
Of my brother
Oh, gorgeous
You're so gorgeous
For god's sake
All thoughts are hell
All my hangups are down
All my roads are clear
But, nevertheless, you're gorgeous
Gorgeous
What was that sound at the door
Must have been a Mysteron
I caught him with his clothes on
All the way from Key Well
Where the oil comes in
And the money flows
With emotion to the sea
You're so gorgeous
I can hardly keep my toes clean
I feel so mean
I can't play Cluedo
Without losing the dice
Ah, so nice
You're so gorgeous
Out of your mind
You're so gorgeous
You're so slim
You're akin to a fool
I look at your idiot smile
I wonder how I could ignore
You puck your lips
I assure you this must
Surely be it
