The writer stare with glassy eyes
Defies the empty page
His beard is white, his face is lined
And streaked with tears of rage

 

Thirty years ago, how the words would flow
With passion and precision
But now his mind is dark and dulled
By sickness and indecision

 

And he stares out the kitchen door
Where the sun will rise no more

Last Sunday morning, the sunshine felt like rain
The week before, they all seemed the same
With the help of God and true friends, I've come to realize
I still have two strong legs, and even wings to fly

So I, ain't a-wastin time no more
'Cause time goes by like hurricanes, and faster things

Well, I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still

I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

In my little town
I never meant nothing, I was just my father's son, hmm-hmm
Saving my money
Dreamin' of glory
Twitching like a finger on a trigger of a gun

 

Really nothing but the dead and dying back in my little town
Nothing but the dead and dying back in my little town

Well, I was born in a small town
And I live in a small town
Probably die in a small town
Oh, those small communities

 

All my friends are so small town
My parents live in the same small town
My job is so small town
Provides little opportunity, hey

Long distance runner, what you standin' there for?
Get up, get out, get out of the door
You're playin' cold music on the barroom floor
Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core
There's a dragon with matches that's loose on the town
Takes a whole pail of water just to cool him down

Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain

Long distance runaround
Long time waiting to feel the sound
I still remember the dream there
I still remember the time you said goodbye
Did we really tell lies
Letting in the sunshine
Did we really count to one hundred

If I was a junkman selling you cars,
Washing your windows and shining your stars,
Thinking your mind was my own in a dream
What would you wonder and how would it seem?
Living in castles a bit at a time
The King started laughing and talking in rhyme.

I should laugh, but I cry
Because your love has passed me by
You took me by surprise
You didn't realize but I was waiting

 

Time goes slowly, but carries on
And now the best years have come and gone
You took me by surprise
I didn't realize that you were laughing

It's the time of the season
When love runs high
In this time, give it to me easy
And let me try with pleasured hands


To take you in the sun
To promised lands
To show you every one
It's the time of the season for loving

I'll be stronger when she's off my mind 

And I hope she finds what she's been trying to find 

And as life goes on and time goes by

Will her heart ever be satisfied 

Ahh, there she goes again with another guy

If you think you stand alone...

You've got a lot to learn...

Because as long as there's one breath left in me,

You'll always have someone to turn to...

 

You're looking through that storm...

There's a whirlwind in your mind...

When you need a little shelter...

You can run to these arms of mine...

 

My love is stronger than your pain,

Stronger than your fear,

Sweet enough to wash the salt from your tears...

 

Deeper than the waves that break against your heart...

You can't go on any longer

My love is stronger

Gotta find a woman be good to me
Won't hide my liquor try to serve me tea
Cause I'm a stone jack baller and my heart is true
And I'll give everything that I got to you, yes I will

 

Easy wind
Going cross the Bayou today
There's a whole lotta women
Out on the streets in a red today
And the river keep a talkin'
But you never heard a word it said

You need cooling, baby, I'm not fooling
I'm gonna send you back to schooling
Way down inside, honey, you need it
I'm gonna give you my love
I'm gonna give you my love

Want a whole lotta love
Want a whole lotta love
Want a whole lotta love
Want a whole lotta love
