If you never left this place You might believe the world was dust and wind and sky The days so hard that no one save your mother doesn't drink You don't ask why The jukebox floats in smoke in the red river bar When you drive nine miles for a beer and your eyes turn red and your head is cloudy You just can't think It's late when you check out the horses and the hogs and tell them to sleep so lat the cool air comes down from Montana is thick and is deep You button your shirt standing in the red dirt beside the barn Watching the stars it's night in Wyoming and this is where the World starts

Counting the heavy days and heavy hours I measure out the prison of this town And wear out stones with that desire of ours But no desire, by walking up and down And you are like a city full of towers Set by a plain or river like a crown And you are like a sunset and a star But I am here alone, not where you are I took my pen and added up the days Dividing us, and meant my letter still To tell you of my patience in delays And how it left me neither well nor ill But shining like that sun with fiery rays That rushes from a cloud or climbs a hill You rose and filled the sky with such a bliss That I could say no more, and sent a kiss I'll take some wax and mould your likeness there Or roughly carve a figure out of wood And in my exile take it everywhere And tell it everything a lover should – My long desire, my constancy, my care And such bad thoughts as love may turn to good And think it is the sweetest thing save one Which is yourself alive, under the sun You are the thread of gold I would unwind Until I wind it in a golden ball You are the gate that I must pass to find My happiness, or find it not at all

Captain! My Captain, our fearful trip is done, The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting While follow eyes the steady kneel, the vessel grim and daring But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drop of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies Fallen cold and dead Captain! My Captain! rise up and hear the bells Rise up – for you the flag is hung – for you the bugle trills For you the bouquets and ribboned wreaths – for you the shores acrowding For you the call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning Here Captain! dear father! This arm beneath your head! It is some dream that on the deck You've fallen cold and dead Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will The ship is anchored safe and sound, its voyage closed and done From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won Exult O shores, and ring O bells! But I, with mournful tread Walk the deck my captain lies Fallen cold and dead

Because I love you more than any Forgive me now for leaving you But please understand how tired I am How thirsty and how cold And though I know it's only the fever I still wish in my nightmares I was simply the wind Then I could speak to you forever after Whenever the black leaves shook Because I love you more than any Please understand I will be as lonely In whatever place the fever or The Gods will take me And even if it is not home Please swear to me Because you love me more than any You will not try to follow

In my dream Of sweet belonging You were my chosen on In my sky Of hope and longing You were the beckoning sun In the dark of night That prays for some light Before your love, there was none But now here where you were There's just the shadow of wings From a disappearing bird Here where you were There's just the echo of a cry Too far-off to be heard I lost and found myself in you I would have followed you into the farthest blue But now here where you were There's no one, (not even me), to hold on to In my mind You walked on water In every earthly way In my heart You were the altar Where I would come to pray In my soul you were The dawning of life That rose in me every day I walked with you down your longest road I carried some of your unbearable load And I was there to catch the tears that flowed

The fountains mingle with the river And the rivers with the ocean The winds of Heaven mix for ever With a sweet emotion Nothing in the world is single All things by a law divine In one spirit meet and mingle Why not yours with mine? See the mountains kiss high Heaven And the waves clasp one another No sister-flower would be forgiven If it disdained its brother And the sunlight clasps the earth And the moonbeams kiss the sea What is all this sweet work worth If you don't kiss me

I'm cold, tired and lonely I just rolled into town 'Been told she's seeing someone And it's getting me down I'm gonna go right up to her and say "Say it ain't true" And I'll know by the look on her face If she's found someone new Had somebody else Burned my fuse? 'Cause I feel like a paper that's been read Like yesterday's news I'm pacing the ceiling And climbing the walls Like a boat with no paddle Heading straight to the falls Is somebody else in my shoes 'Cause I'm walking around here Like yesterday's news What will I say What can I possibly do If she walks away I guess I'll swallow my pride I've got too much to chew Finally I got to see my baby She looked me straight in the eyes She said I must be crazy Believing in those lies I guess there's nobody else No more blues Baby loves me I'm hot off the press That was yesterday's news

Finger to finger, now she's mine. She's not too far. She's my encounter. I beat her like a bell. I recline in the bower where you used to mount her. You borrowed me on the flowered spread. At night, alone, I marry the bed. Take for instance this night, my love, hat every single couple puts together with a joint overturning, beneath, above, the abundant two on sponge and feather, kneeling and pushing, head to head. At night, alone, I marry the bed. She took you the way a woman takes a bargain dress off the rack and I broke the way a stone breaks. I give back your books and fishing tack. Today's paper says that you are wed. At night, alone, I marry the bed. The boys and girls are one tonight. They unbutton blouses. They unzip flies. They take off shoes. They turn off the lights. The glimmering creatures are full of lies. They are eating each other. They are overfed. At night, alone, I marry the bed.

If I could conjure shapes for you and me I'd choose two living things that swim or fly Two fishes tumbling in a glassy sea Two eagles turning in a golden sky And in those shapes we should continue free And still in love, until the sea ran dry The air failed, and the earth dropped in the sun And time was ended, and we two were one I wish there were a passage underground That led by magic to your house and bed So I could be beside you at a bound When I had made the journey in my head Then I should disappear and not be found And neighbors be persuaded I were dead But I should be with you in paradise Where I could laugh and kiss your face and eyes The kingdom of our love is like a tree Grown from a little seed on level ground But now it stretches over land and sea And carries on its top an eagle crowned Below, a tent is hung for you and me Thick-set with rubies in a border round That say I came into the world to serve you And I may have your love, but not deserve you The lover who could wear you like a cross That gave a blessing to his neck or arm Might travel through the world and fear no loss Disease or danger, guarded by that charm A thousand seas and deserts he might cross And climb up mountains, and not come to harm And I am safe from injury or spite If I have kissed you for that day and night And we are two, but neither tall nor short And equally in love in heart and mind And we are two, but one is every sort Of equal faith and equally combined

היינו גלויה שציירנו בנוף קיץ מוכר ואהוב שחפים וגם אנחנו נתרנו נסנו לעוף על החול שמלתך הסרתי כפתור תלשתי מחוט "הנה הצדף", צעקתי והים הצמלא לגאות ערומים ורטובים דבקנו גל מלוח את שנינו לחך דיג שראה אותנו עצר הביט וחייך

Gun-Shy 04:00
Sometimes I feel like a moving target Like heartache has its sights on me So I'm not moving out of the dark yet Till some smoke clears and I can see Somethin' in your eyes makes me shiver Things aren't always what they seem Don't know what it would take to pull your trigger But it won't be so easy to cripple me 'Cause baby I'm gun-shy (you're) gonna have to lay down your arms If you want to get close to me Yeah baby, I'm gun-shy (you're) gonna have to come empty-handed If you want to take hold of me I know the feel of cold, cruel steel, yeah How they set you up then shoot you down No matter how high the hand they deal you It's never too far to the ground You can shoot off in any direction Play tough on the other side of town But it's gonna take some tender attention To bring this wounded heart back around 'Cause baby I'm gun-shy (you're) gonna have to lay down your arms If you want to get close to me Yeah baby, I'm gun-shy (you're) gonna have to come empty-handed If you want to take hold of me One more hit to the heart I'll be on my knees again One more long shot in the dark Be nothing but shattered dreams again

Take this flesh Take this bone Take all I am Take everything I own Take what I don't give Weak am I Strong this love Heart into heart Like hand inside a glove In your love I live All my hunger All my tenderness I give all or nothing to you Sorrow comes Sorrow goes Time slips away And this love is still a rose Soft and open in the night In this life In my mind Nothing is lost That within you I can't find In your arms things come to life All my hunger All my tenderness I give all or nothing to you Everyday This love is born We are saved From a world tattered and torn And I remember what living is for All my hunger All my tenderness Givin' all or nothing to you All love's fire All love's foreverness Giving all my loving to you
