Cowboy Junkies Lament — текст песни (Townes Van Zandt)

By townes van zandt



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 aproachin

Theres a hole in heaven where some sin slips through

Close your eyes and dream real steady

Maybe just a little will spill on you





The dark dont lie

And 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

Rosys just waitin for the ax 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





It wont be long

I wont be gone

Ive been leaning toward the shadows all along





Those in the know say how it goes

You plan on reapin you better sow

You plan on sleepin you better keep movin

Sleepin aint allowed around here you know

Tell me please when the rollins over

Me and my baby gonna have some fun

Bury our backs in a bed of clover

Smile in style while the sun goes down





Snake eyes cry

And boxcars sigh

Sevens stuck in the middle just wonderin why





The dark dont lie

And dreams come true

All it takes is one or two

Maybe just a few will see you through

Maybe just b few will see you throagh
