timbits

I hear a sound

It

ahhhhh...GLS

Love ridden, I've looked at you

With the focus I gave to my birthday candles

I've wished on the lidded blue flames

Under your brow

And baby, I wished for you

Nobody sees when you are lying in your bed

And I wanna crawl in with you, but I cry instead

I want your warmth, but it will only make

Me colder when it's over

So I can't tonight, baby

No, not 'baby' anymore - if I need you

I'll just use your simple name

Only kisses on the cheek from now on

And in a little while, we'll only have to wave

My hand won't hold you down no more

The path is clear to follow through

I stood too long in the way of the door

And now I'm giving up on you...

No, not 'baby' anymore - if I need you

I'll just use your simple name

Only kisses on the cheek from now on

And in a little while, we'll only have to wave

The evening fell just like a star

Left a trail behind

You spit as you slammed out the door

If this is love we're crazy

As we fight like cats and dogs

But I just know there's got to be more

So please call me, baby

Wherever you are

It's too cold to be out walking in the streets

We do crazy things when we're wounded

Everyone's a bit insane

I don't want you catching your death of cold

Out walking in the rain

I admit that I ain't no angel

I admit that I ain't no saint

I'm selfish and I'm cruel and I'm blind

If I exorcise my devils

Well my angels may leave too

When they leave they're so hard to find

So please call me, baby

Wherever you are

It's too cold to be out walking in the streets

We do crazy things when we're wounded

Everyone's a bit insane

I don't want you catching your death of cold

Out walking in the rain

We're always at each other's throats

It drives me up the wall

Most of the time I'm just blowing off steam

And I wish to God you'd leave me

And I wish to God you'd stay

Life's so different than it is in your dreams

So please call me, baby

Wherever you are

It's too cold to be out walking in the streets

We do crazy things when we're wounded

Everyone's a bit insane

I don't want you catching your death of cold

Out walking in the rain

Every night she comes

To take me out to dreamland

When I'm with her, I'm the richest

Man in the town

She's a rose, she's the pearl

She's the spin on my world

All the stars make their wishes on her eyes

She's my Coney Island Baby

She's my Coney Island Girl

She's a princess in a red dress

She's the moon in the mist to me

She's my Coney Island Baby

She's my Coney Island Girl

I opened my eyes

While you were kissing me once more than once

And you looked as sincere as a dog

Just as sincere as a dog does,

When it's the food on your lips with which it's in love

I bet you could never tell

That I knew you didn't know me that well

It is my fault you see

You never learned that much from me

Oh you silly stupid pastime of mine

You were always good for rhyme

And from the first to the last time

The sign says stop

But we went on whole hearted it ended bad

But I love what we started (it says stop)

But we went on whole hearted it ended bad

But I love what we started

I took off my glasses

While you were yelling at me once more than once

So as not to see you see me react

Should've put 'em, should've put 'em on again

So I could see you see me sincerely yelling back

I bet your fortress face

Belied your fort of lace

It is by the grace of me

You never learned what I could see

Oh you silly stupid pastime of mine

You were always good for rhyme

And from the first to all the last times

All the signs said stop

But we went on whole hearted it ended bad

But I love what we started (it says stop)

But we went on whole hearted it ended bad

Once my lover, now my friend

What a cruel thing to pretend

What a cunning way to condescend

Once my lover, and now my friend

Oh, you creep up like the clouds

And you set my soul at ease

Then you let your love abound

And you bring me to my knees

Oh, it's evil babe

The way you let your grace enrapture me

When well you know I'd be insane

To ever let that dirty game recapture me

You made me a shadowboxer, baby

I wanna be ready for what you do

I been swinging around at nothin

I don't know when you're gonna make your move

Oh, your gaze is dangerous

And you fill your space so sweet

If I let you get too close

You'll set your spell on me

So darlin' I just wanna say

Just in case I don't come through

I was onto every play

I just wanted you

Oh it's so evil, my love

The way you've no reverence to my concern

So I'll be sure to stay weary of you, love

To save the pain of once my flame and twice my burn

You made me a shadowboxer, baby

I wanna be ready for what you do

I been swinging around at nothin

'I don't know when you're gonna make your move

Yeah I'm a shadowboxer baby,

I wanna be ready for what you do

And I been swinging around at nothin

I don't know when you're gonna make your move

I lost all of my vanity

when I peered into the pool

I lost all of my innocence

When I fell in love with you

I never knew a man fall so far until I landed here

Where all of my wounds turn into gold when I kissed your hair

Come to me Hannah

Hannah won't you to come on to me

I'll lay down this bottle of wine

If you'll just be kind to me

Ask her why she cries so loud

She Will not say a word

Eyes like ice and hands that shake

She takes what she deserves

To celebrate her emptiness

In a Cold and lonely room

Sweep the floor with your long flowered dress

If you cannot find a broom

Come to me Hannah

Hannah won't you come on to me

I'll lay down this bottle of wine

If you'll just be kind to me

She's got hair that flows right down

Right down to the backs of her knees

Her Papa he was a preaching man

And the lord is hard to please

So she comes down from the ozark hills to these very streets to roam

With a banjo and a bible and a fine tooth comb

Come to me Hannah

Hannah won't you come on to me

I'll lay down this bottle of wine if you just be kind to me

I'd walk one mile on this broken glass

to fall down at your feet

oh Hannah you're the queen of the street

I climb the tree withy my Hannahlee

My intentions they were pure

Oh the breeze did whip and I lost my grip

I tumbled towards the earth

Where You never would guess who it was that stood below

And his name I would never tell

But His eyes were clear

And His arms were strong

And caught me as I fell

Now come to me Hannah

Hannah won't you come on to me

I'll lay down this bottle of wine

If you'd just be kind to me

I'd walk one mile on broken glass

to fall down at your feet

Hannah you're the queen of the street

Hannah you're the queen of the street

shared a bottle of wine with a Hannah tonight

gettin' my right to left manga fix in

this one gets posted more than just about any other, but with good reason:

Looking out the door

I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners

Parading in a wake of sad relations

As their shoes fill up with water

And maybe I'm too young

To keep good love from going wrong

But tonight, you're on my mind so

you never know

Broken down and hungry for your love

With no way to feed it

Where are you tonight?

Child, you know how much I need it.

Too young to hold on

And too old to just break free and run

Sometimes a man gets carried away,

When he feels like he should be having his fun

Much too blind to see the damage he's done

Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really,

He has no-one...

So I'll wait for you... And I'll burn

Will I ever see your sweet return,

Oh, will I ever learn?

Oh, Lover, you should've come over

Cause it's not too late.

Lonely is the room the bed is made

The open window lets the rain in

Burning in the corner is the only one

Who dreams he had you with him

My body turns and yearns for a sleep

That won't ever come

It's never over,

My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder

It's never over, all my riches for her smiles

when I slept so soft against her...

It's never over,

All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter

It's never over, she's the tear

That hangs inside my soul forever

Oh, but maybe I'm just too young to keep good love

From going wrong

Oh... lover you should've come over...

Yes, (I) feel too young to hold on

I'm much too old to break free and run

Too deaf, dumb, and blind

To see the damage I've done

Sweet lover, you should've come over

Oh, love I'm waiting for you

Lover, you should've come over

'Cause it's not too late.

Last night I dreamt

That somebody loved me

No hope, no harm

Just another false alarm

Last night I felt

Real arms around me

No hope, no harm

Just another false alarm

So, tell me how long

Before the last one?

And tell me how long

Before the right one?

The story is old - I KNOW

But it goes on

The story is old - I KNOW

But it goes on

Oh, GOES ON

And on

Oh, goes on

And on

Blue Chicago Moon

out of the ruins

blood grown heavy from his past

his wings stripped by thunder

but those storms keep coming back

singing birds in sickness

sing the same blues song

when they fell out of the emptiness

they must have brought along

space's loneliness

he's gotten so good at hiding it

even he does not admit it

that glittering flash in his eyes

makes it look like he might be alright

and if the blues are your hunter

then you will come face to face

with that darkness and desolation

and the endless depression

but you are not helpless

and you are not helpless

try to beat it

and live through space's loneliness

you are not helpless

i'll help you to try to beat it

This is one of those songs that I have heard a million times, to the point where I don't even think about the lyrics. But after seeing the documentary last week I checked them out again.

i know exactly what you mean, sir.

it gets the worst at night

with nothing on my mind

but you

i'm thinking too damn much

i go ahead and get up

and put on my boots

so i can drive as far as i can get from you

on my way out of town

i drive by your house

two times

it don't do me no good

i didn't think that it would

'cause you're not mine

you might have seen me but i kept on driving by

gonna lose myself on some dark road tonight

'cause there's something 'bout just laying down and taking all that pain

i'd rather drive all night, if it's all the same

'cause half a tank of gas will get me far enough

to be completely lost by the time the sun comes up

and so it's four a.m.

i'm on the road again

to find some peace

some old gravel road

god only knows

there's nothing for me

and there ain't nothing left for me in tennessee

because i know you're not awake thinking of me

and there's something 'bout just laying down and taking all that pain

i'd rather drive all night if it's all the same

'cause half a tank of gas will get me far enough

to be completely lost by the time the sun comes up

and there ain't nothing left for me in tennessee

'cause i know you're not awake thinking of me

capitalizing every word in my fuckin' thread titles, man?
