|
Saw kingdoms crushed and crumbled |
|
Saw the earth from the rim of a ship |
|
Heard the whistle of the damnation train |
|
But I didn't see her coming |
|
Baby clear sky light |
|
That lyin' goat borrowed my heart |
|
and now it's broke |
|
With big guns booming like thunder |
|
I should have struck him cemetery dead |
|
41 dollars and 63 cents won't buy my way out of this mess |
|
41 dollars and 63 cents won't get me a dress to compete with her best |
|
God made woman when he took out a bone |
|
Gave it to adam so he wasn't alone |
|
Fell at his feet - a heap on the floor |
|
Now he aint coming back no more |
|
I saw him on the lake at Galilee |
|
The ship was gliding away from me |
|
Sails unfurled in the evening breeze |
|
The white caps marbleized into peaks |
|
The wind is a woman and the water is too |
|
The moon he holds the reins of the tides |
|
With big guns booming like thunder |
|
I should have struck him cemetery dead |
