snake street
well,it's
four in the morning and i'm wonderin'
how could something so right go so wrong.
and i got nothing but the silence and the shadows and the memories.
and they'll be with me this whole night long.
i remember her eyes like tomorrow.
so forgiving, so angry,so kind.
and the taste of her mouth
and the warm of her skin...
ever cruel,ever gentle on my mind.
chorus
and if you think that i love her,you're crazy.
and if you think that i miss her,you're wrong.
and there's a streetcar up on snakestreet bound to carry me on.
'cause she's gone,that's all, she's just gone.
god forgive her,god bless her,god damn her,
for all these cigarette burns 'round my soul.
god protect her,god love her,god grant her godspeed.
and bring her joy,and let it be,and let it roll.
chorus
and if you think that i love her,you're crazy.
and if you think that i miss her,you're wrong.
and there's a streetcar up on snakestreet bound to carry me on.
'cause she's gone,that's all, she's just gone.
solo
walk away,walk away from me,woman
my together has fallen apart.
and i got nothin' to bring you but the ashes of a dream,
and a foolish and a derelict heart.
chorus
and if you think that i love her,you're crazy.
and if you think that i miss her,you're wrong.
and there's a streetcar up on snakestreet bound to carry me on.
'cause she's gone,that's all, she's just gone.
she's gone,that's all, she's just gone.
she's gone,that's all, she's just gone.

drunk again
i
am drunk again,
i am drunk again,
one more night spent darkly dreaming.
the moon's gone down,the stars receding
sun's coming up and it's daylight pleading.
singing
hope and fear
hope and fear
trumpets play the wars and the dance halls
children kiss the soldier bravely falls
the sun's coming up
and it's daylight bleeding.
one
more man and
one more voice and
one more song about the same old choice
and
i'm drunk again,i am drunk again,
and all this pain can't stop my believing
and all this joy can't stop my grieving,
the sun's coming up now,
and it's time i was asleep.
love the best
it's
been a hard hard parting 'cause you loved him well.
i know you did the best you could do.
and only time will heal,and only time will tell.
only time will change the things that are true.
oh,babe.oh,babe.
so lay your weary head down upon my chest.
and you're the one i love the best.
oh,babe,oh babe.
and i know all the pain that you are feeling tonight,
know all the words that you are dying to say.
and i know just how much you want to make things right,
but only time will brush these tears away.
oh,babe.oh,babe.
it's been a long hard night,you gotta get some rest.
and you're the one i love the best.
oh,babe,oh babe.and etc.
you choose the path that leads you to your innermost light.
the road that stretches out ahead.
you find your way to dawn through this impossible night.
"cause when evening comes,well we will all be dead.
oh,babe,oh babe.
put on your high-heeled sneakers and your low-back dress.
'cause that's the one i like the best.
and we will go out dancing ,you will tell me yes.
you're the one i love the best.
and etc.
only
waiting
the
lord,in his wisdom,
made this road so rough and troublesome,
and left us in confusion
with the shifting field behind the vision.
and we are only waiting.
you and i are only waiting.
lord,we are waiting,
you and i are only waiting.
and i,in my humanity,stand and wait for grace to come to me.
and will its coming change me,
or be born upon the grave of vanity and
you and i are only waiting,
you and i are only waiting,
lord,we are waiting,
you and i are only waiting.
the men of this century,
seldom use a word like weary.
and time in its tranquility
calmly gazes down on our futility and
you and i are only waiting,
you and i are only waiting,
lord,we are waiting,
you and i are only waiting.

flags
and guns
hail
to you children in the morning light
the shadows they are kind
one mother's love,one child's delight
is written in the heart and the mind.
so why would you think,why would you feel,
why would you ever believe
that you'd be taking up your father's flags and guns for your own.
and hail to you children in the noon day sun
no shadows can you see
and every heart knows every dream
and every soul is free
so why would you think,why would you feel,
oh why would you ever believe
that you'd be taking up your father's flags and guns for your own.
stand down
stand down,you children.
stand down in the name of a dream that is yours and yours alone.
well,hail to you children in the afternoon,
oh,the shadows they are black
and evil forms one single line that surely will be driven back.
and wrong or right,you know how to fight
so why would you ever believe
that you'd be taking up your father's flags and guns for your own.
stand down
stand down,you children.
stand down in the name of a dream that is yours and yours alone.
don't go taking up your father's flags and guns for your own.
so hail to you children in the twilight.
the shadows they are everywhere.
they cross your faces,cross your hearts.
they are tangled in the very air.
so what do you think,what do you feel
as your arms reach out at last.
to be taking up your father's flags and guns for your own.
stand down
stand down,you children.
stand down in the name of a dream that is yours and yours alone.
don't go taking up your father's flags and guns,
taking up your father's flags and guns,
taking up your father's flags and guns for your own.
boom!
