Paroles
I used to wake and run with the moon I lived like a rake and a young man I covered my lovers with flowers and wounds My laughter the devil would frighten The sun she would come and beat me back down But every cruel day had its nightfall I’d welcome the stars with wine and guitars Full of fire and forgetful My body was sharp the dark air clean And outrage my joyful companion Whisperin’ women how sweet did they seem Kneelin’ for me to command them And time was like water but I was the sea I’d have nеver noticed it pa**in’ Except for thе turnin’ of night into day And the turnin’ of day into cursin’ You look at me now, and don’t think I don’t know What all your eyes are a sayin’ Does he want us to believe these ravings and lies They’re just tricks that his brains been a playin’? A lover of women he can’t hardly stand He trembles he’s bent and he’s broken I’ve fallen it’s true but I say unto you Hold your tongues until after I’ve spoken I was takin’ my pride in the pleasures I’d known I laughed and thought I’d be forgiven But my laughter turned ’round eyes blazing and Said my friend, we’re holdin’ a wedding I buried my face but it spoke once again The night to the day we’re a bindin’ And now the dark air is like fire on my skin And even the moonlight is blinding Days full of rain, sky's comin’ down again I get so tired of these same old blues, same old song Baby, it won’t be long ‘fore I be tyin’ on my flyin’ shoes Flyin’ shoes, till I be tyin’ on my flyin’ shoes Spring only sighed, summer had to be satisfied Fall is a feelin’ that I just can’t lose I’d like to stay maybe watch a winter day Turn the green water to white and blue Flyin’ shoes, flyin’ shoes Till I be tyin’ on my flyin’ shoes The mountain moon forever sets too soon Bein’ alone is all the hills can do Alone and then her silver sails again And they will follow in their flyin’ shoes, flyin’ shoes They will follow in their flyin’ shoes Days full of rain sky’s comin’ down again I get so tired of the same old blues, same old song Baby, it won’t be long till I be tyin’ on my flyin’ shoes Flyin’ shoes, till I be tyin’ on my flyin’ shoes I stood in line and left my name Took about six hours or so The man just grinned like it was all a game Said they’d let me know I put in my time till the Pocono line Shut down two years ago I was staying at the mission till I met Marie Now I can’t stay there no more Fella ’cross town said he’s lookin’ for a man To move some old cars around Maybe me and Marie could find a burned-out Van and do a little settlin’ down But I’m just dreamin’, I ain’t got no ride And the junkyard’s a pretty good ways That job’s about a half week old besides It’d be gone now anyway Unemployment said I got no more checks And they showed me to the hall My brother died in Georgia some time ago I got no one left to call Summer wasn’t bad below the bridge A little short on food that’s all Now I gotta get Marie some kind of coat We’re headed down into fall I used to play the mouth harp pretty good Used to hustle up a little dough But I got drunk and I woke up rolled A couple of months ago They got my harp and they got my dollar Them low life so and so’s Harps cost money and I ain’t got it It’s my own fault I suppose The Pocono’s down but the Chesapeak’s runnin’ Two freights everyday If it was just me I’d be headed south But Marie can’t catch no train She’s got some pain and she thinks it’s a baby Says we gotta wait and see In my heart I know it’s a little boy Hope he don’t end up like me Well, the man’s still grinnin’ says he lost my file I gotta stand in line again I want to kill him but I just say no I had enough of that line my friend I head back to the bridge, it’s getting kinda cold I’m feelin’ too low down to lie I guess I’ll just tell Marie the truth Hope she don’t break down and cry Marie she didn’t wake up this morning She didn’t even try She just rolled over and went to heaven My little boy safe inside I laid them in the sun where somebody’d find them Caught a Chesapeak on the fly Marie will know I’m headed south So’s to meet me by and by Marie will know I’m headed south So to meet me by and by
