|
The sun, the moon and the stars, they make the wind blow |
|
It took me twenty years to understand |
|
But lost to me is how the lives of friends go |
|
Like autumn leaves in Oklahoma wind |
|
But it made me strong to be on my own |
|
It never did me no harm to live all alone |
|
Oh, but now and then in the color of the evening |
|
Drunken in a barroom with a fan turning, I've come to miss a few |
|
This afternoon was cloudy then the rains came |
|
Third day of my first day San Miguel |
|
Seems lately that I'm doubling as storm bait |
|
I've been followed like a shadow through the dell |
|
But it made me strong to be on my own |
|
It never did me no harm to live all alone |
|
Oh, but now and then in the color of the evening |
|
Drunken in a barroom with a fan turning, I've come to miss a few |
|
Dear friends and relations, see what I have done |
|
I've gathered all my fingers in one place |
|
They breathe a breath that's deadly stale since they tooled a song for me |
|
I guess mechanics never really set the pace |
|
'Cause I'm back and I'm strong, I'm here on my own |
|
It never did me no harm to live all alone |
|
Oh, but now and then in the color of the evening |
|
Drunken in a barroom with a fan turning, I've come to miss a few |
|
The sun, the moon and the stars, they make the wind blow |
|
It took me twenty years to understand |
|
But lost to me is how the lives of friends go |
|
Like autumn leaves in Oklahoma wind |
|
Oh, now and then, it's in the color of the evening |
|
Drunken in a barroom with a fan turning, I'll come to miss a few |
