Cowboy Junkies Lament — текст песни (cowboy junkies)

Baby hit the back door

Breathin real heavy

Said the boys in the alley

Wouldnt leave her alone

Mama did her make-up in a terrible hurry

She finally got ready

But the boys were gone

Mama dont you worry,

Nights approachin

Theres a hole in heaven

Where some sin slips through

Just close your eyes and dream real steady

Maybe just a little will spill on you



Dark dont lie

Dreams come true

Could be a few will see you through



Old lady rose, lookin down her nose

At lonely miss lily hiding in the hall

Lilys just praying for the trial to be over

Lady rose just waiting for the axe to fall

Show me off on the way to town

The skys still shiny

And the earths still brown

Tell the judge Im ready for the vases

Gonna dance in their faces

When the guitar sounds



Wont be long

I wont be gone

Been leaning toward the shadows all along



Those in the know say so it goes

You plan on reapin, you better sow

You plan on sleepin,

You better keep movin

Sleepin aint allowed around here,

You know



Snake eyes cry

Boxcars sigh

Sevens stuck in the middle

Just wonderin why



Dark dont lie

Dreams come true

All it takes is one or two

Maybe just a few will see you through
