Townes Van Zandt - Cowboy junkies lament слова песни
by Townes Van Zandt
Baby hit the back door breathin` real heavy
said the boys in the alley wouldn`t leave her alone
Mama did her make-up in a terrible hurry
She finally got ready but the boys were gone
Mama don`t you worry, night`s aproachin`
there`s 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 don`t 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
Lily`s just praying for the trial to be over
Rosy`s just waitin` for the ax to fall
Show me off on the way to town
the sky`s still shiny and the earth`s still brown
Tell the judge I`m ready for the vases
gonna dance in their faces
when the guitar sounds
It won`t be long
I won`t be gone
I`ve 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 ain`t allowed around here you know
Tell me please when the rollin`s 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
Seven`s stuck in the middle just wonderin` why
The dark don`t 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
