Outlaw PeteVer letra 8:00

letra de Outlaw Pete
He was born a little baby on the Appalachian Trail
At six months old he'd done three months in jail
He robbed a bank in his diapers and his little bare baby feet
All he said was "Folks, my name is Outlaw Pete."
I'm Outlaw Pete!
I'm Outlaw Pete!
Can you hear me?
At twenty-five a mustang pony he did steal
And they rode around and 'round on heaven's wheel
Father Jesus, I'm an outlaw killer and a thief
And I slowed down only to sow my grief
I'm Outlaw Pete!
I'm Outlaw Pete!
Can you hear me?
He cut his trail of tears across the countryside
And where he went, women wept and men died
One night he woke from a vision of his own death
Saddled his pony and rode her deep into the West
Married a Navajo girl and settled down on the res
And as the snow fell he held that beautiful daughter to his chest
I'm Outlaw Pete!
I'm Outlaw Pete!
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Out of the East on an Irish stallion came Bounty Hunter Dan
His heart quickened and burned by the need to get his man
He found Pete peaceful fishing by the river, pulled his gun and got the drop
He said, "Pete, you think you've changed, but you have not."
He cocked his pistol, pulled the trigger and shouted, "let it stop!"
He drew a knife from his boot and pierced him through the heart
Dan smiled as he lay in his own blood dying in the sun
Whispered in Pete's ear, "We cannot undo these things we've done."
You're Outlaw Pete!
You're Outlaw Pete!
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
For forty days and nights Pete rode and did not stop
Till he sat high upon an icy mountain top
He watched a hawk on a desert head dress slip and slide
Moved to the edge and dug his spurs deep into his pony's side
Some say Pete and his pony vanished over the edge
Some say they remain frozen high upon that icy ledge
The young Navajo girl washes in the river, skin so fair
And braids a piece of Pete's buckskin chaps into her hair
Outlaw Pete!
Outlaw Pete!
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
My Lucky DayVer letra 4:00

letra de My Lucky Day
In the room where fortune falls
On a day when chance is all
In the dark of fierce exile (fears exile?)
I felt the grace of your smile

Honey you're my lucky day
Baby you're my lucky day
When I lost all the other bets I made
Honey you're my lucky day

When I see strong hearts give way
To the burdens (burnings?) of the day
To the weary hands of time
Where fortune is not kind

Honey you're my lucky day
Baby you're my lucky day
When I lost all the other bets I made
Honey you're my lucky day

I've waited at your side
I've carried the tears you've cried
But to win darling you must play (pay?)
So don't hide your heart away

Honey you're my lucky day
Baby you're my lucky day
When I lost all the other bets I made
Honey you're my lucky day

letra de Working On A Dream
Out here the nights are long, the days are lonely
I think of you and i'm working on a dream
I'm working on a dream

Now the cards i've drawn's a rough hand, darling
I straighten the back and i'm working on a dream
I'm working on a dream

Come on!

I'm working on a dream
Though sometimes it feels so far away
I'm working on a dream
And i know it will be mine someday

Rain pourin' down, i swing my hammer
My hands are rough from working on a dream
I'm working on a dream

Let's go!

I'm working on a dream
Though trouble can feel like it's here to stay
I'm working on a dream
Well our love will chase trouble away

Alright!

[whistling interlude]
That's professional whistling right there!

I'm working on a dream
Though it can feel so far away
I'm working on a dream
Our love will make it real someday

The sun rise up, i climb the ladder
The new day breaks and i'm working on a dream
I'm working on a dream
I'm working on a dream
I'm working on a dream

Hey!

I'm working on a dream
Though it can feel so far away
I'm working on a dream
Our love will make it real someday
I'm working on a dream
Though it can feel so far away
I'm working on a dream
And our love will make it real someday
Queen Of The SupermarketVer letra 4:39

letra de Queen Of The Supermarket
There's a wonderful world where all you desire
And everything you've longed for is at your fingertips
Where the bittersweet taste of life is at your lips
Where aisles and aisles of dreams await you
And the cool promise of ecstasy fills the air
At the end of each working day she's waiting there
I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket
As the evening sky turns blue
A dream awaits in aisle number two
With my shopping cart I move through the heart
Of a sea of fools so blissfully unaware
That they're in the presence of something wonderful and rare
The way she moves behind the counter
Beneath her white apron her secret remains hers
As she bags the groceries her eyes so bored
And sure she's unobserved
I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket
There's nothing I can say
Each night I take my groceries and I drift away
And I drift away
Items from my ???
At night I pray for the strength to tell her
When I love I love I love I love her so
Take my place in the check-out line
For one moment her eyes meet mine
I'm lifted up, lifted up, lifted up, lifted up
I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket
Though her company cap covers her hair
Nothing can hide the beauty waiting there
The beauty waiting there
I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket
I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket
As I lift my groceries in to my car
I turn back for a moment and catch a smile
That blows this whole fucking place apart
I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket
I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket
I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket
I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket
What Love Can DoVer letra 2:56

letra de What Love Can Do
There's a pillar in the temple where I carved your name
There's a soul sitting sad and blue
Now the remedies you've taken are all in vain
Let me show you what love can do
Let me show you what love can do
Darling I can't stop the rain
Or turn your black sky blue
Well let me show you what love can do
Let me show you what love can do
Well now our truth lay shattered, we stood at world's end
There's a dead sun rose in view
As if any of this matters, a kiss my friend
Let me show you what love can do
Let me show you what love can do
Darling we can't stop this train
When it comes crashing through
But let me show you what love can do
Let me show you what love can do
On the bench you lie all is nails and rust
And the love you've given's turned ashes and dust
When the hope you've gathered's drifted to the wind
It's you and I now, friend (you and I now, friend)
You and I now, friend
Here our memory lay corrupted and our city lay dry
Let me make this vow to you
Here where it's blood for blood and an eye for an eye
Let me show you what love can do
Let me show you what love can do
Here we bear the mark of Cain
But let the light shine through
Let me show you what love can do
Let me show you what love can do
Let me show you what love can do
Let me show you what love can do
This LifeVer letra 4:30

letra de This Life
A bang then stardust in your eyes
A billion years for just this night
In a way it will be alright
A blackness then the light of a million stars
As you slip into in my car
The evening sky strikes sparks
This life, this life and then the next
With you I have been blessed
What more can you expect
At night at my telescope alone
This emptiness I've roamed
Searching for a home
The stars, a brief string of shining charms
Rushing in right out of our arms
Into the drifting dark
This life, this life and then the next
With you I have been blessed
What more can you expect
This life, this life and then the next
I finger the hem of your dress
My universe at rest
We reach for starlight all night long
But gravity is too strong
Chained to this earth we go on and on and on and on and on
Then a million sighs cresting were you stood
A beauty in the neighborhood
This lonely planet never looked so good
This life, this life and then the next
With you I have been blessed
What more can you expect
This life, this life and then the next
I finger the hem of your dress
My universe at rest
Good EyeVer letra 3:00

letra de Good Eye
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!

I was standing by the river
Where the cold black water runs
I was standing by the river
Where the cold black water runs
I had my good eye to the dark
And my blind eye to the sun

I had all of the riches
I had each and every one
I had all of the riches
I had each and every one
I had my good eye to the dark
And my blind eye to the sun

Well I swore you were my darling
Yeah, you were the only one
Since I swore you were my darling
You were the only one
Had my good eye to the dark
And my blind eye to the sun

Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Tomorrow Never KnowsVer letra 2:13

[X]
letra de Tomorrow Never Knows
Where the cold wind blows
Tomorrow never knows
Where your sweet smile goes
Tomorrow never knows
You and me we've been standing in my den
Waiting for that time to come
Where the green grass grows
Tomorrow never knows
In the field your long hair flows
Down by the tail end of the tracks
Beneath the water tower
I carried you on my back
Over the rusted spikes of that highway of steel
When no more thunder sounds
Where the ??? goes
Tomorrow never knows
Where he who waits for the day's riches will be lost
In the whispery town
Where the river flows
Tomorrow Never Knows

Kingdom Of DaysVer letra 4:02

letra de Kingdom Of Days
With you I don't hear
the minutes ticking by
I don't feel the hours
as they fly
I don't see the summer
as it wanes
Just a subtle
change of light
upon your face

Walk away, walk away,
walk away, walk away
This is our
kingdom of days

I watched the sun
as it rises and sets
I watched the moon
trace its arc
with no regret
My jacket
'round your shoulders,
the falling leaves
The wet grass on our backs
as the autumn breeze drifts
through the trees

Walk away, walk away,
walk away, walk away
This is our kingdom of days
This is our kingdom of days

I love you, I love you,
I love you, I love you, I do
You whispered
"then prove it, then prove it,
then prove it,
to me baby blue"

When I count my blessings
and you're mine for always
We laughed
beneath the covers
and count the wrinkles
and the grays

Sing away, sing away,
sing away, sing away
Sing away, sing away,
my darling,
we'll sing away
This is our kingdom of days
This is our kingdom of days
This is our kingdom of days
This is our kingdom of days
This is our kingdom of days

letra de The Last Carnival
Sun down, sun down
They're taking all the tents down
Where have you gone my handsome Billy?
Sun down, sun down
The carnival trains leave town
Where are you now darling Billy?
We won't be dancing together on the high wire
Facing the lions with you at my side anymore
We won't be breathing the smoke and the fire
On the midway
Hanging from the trapeze
My wrists waiting for your wrists
Two daredevils high upon the wall of death
He throws the knife, it lands inches from my head
Sun down
Moon rise, moon rise
The light that was in your eyes is gone
Daybreak, daybreak
The singing you had made me ache is gone
We'll be riding the train without you tonight
The train that keeps on moving
Its black smoke scorching the evening sky
Millions of stars shining above us like every soul living and dead
It's been gathered together by God
Sing a hymn over your bones
Sun down, sun down
Empty are the fairgrounds
Where are you now handsome Billy?

The WrestlerVer letra 3:50

letra de The Wrestler
Have you ever seen a one trick pony in the field so happy and free?
If you've ever seen a one trick pony then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one-legged dog making its way down the street?
If you've ever seen a one-legged dog then you've seen me

Then you've seen me, I come and stand at every door
Then you've seen me, I always leave with less than I had before
Then you've seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me can you ask for anything more?

Have you ever seen a scarecrow filled with nothing but dust and wheat?
If you've ever seen that scarecrow then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one-armed man punching at nothing but the breeze?
If you've ever seen a one-armed man then you've seen me

Then you've seen me, I come and stand at every door
Then you've seen me, I always leave with less than I had before
Then you've seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me can you ask for anything more?

These things that have comforted me, I drive away
This place that is my home I cannot stay
My only faith's in the broken bones and bruises I display

Have you ever seen a one-legged man trying to dance his way free?
If you've ever seen a one-legged man then you've seen me
