Once upon a recent time
|
With days to kill a long long drive
|
The D tour to where he once was mine
|
I found myself back in Salida.
|
|
There was a man with eyes like a sea
|
The green and gold of summer weed
|
Who held his heart between his teeth
|
There was a man who once shows me
|
Brick fall in at the back of the bar
|
.. like a river fall in his arms
|
His arrows stared tour me apart
|
Off my poor sproke both their hearts
|
By the second time around
|
We held each other underground
|
In the shadows of the city lights
|
My ring burns skin his covered eyes
|
Like a dream that rolls down hill
|
We tumbled at first as we spill
|
Still we try to hold on to the wind,
|
I never saw him again.
|
|
Now with time to spare the borrowed car,
|
Skin tight aggrieving heart
|
From another love another time,
|
I retrace the steps I left behind
|
Went back to that mountain town,
|
I whispered his name of the threatening clouds,
|
Try to counter up that underground
|
Afraid to speak his name out loud
|
It was a place where time had slow
|
Now it's cafes are vintage clothes
|
And I knew who I'd come here to let go,
|
And left long gone.
|
|
We tasted then with desire and rage
|
Like actors on off road wing,
|
This time I knew more was it stake
|
alone I chase regret and age
|
I try to trapped them in my songs
|
But I always got the time and wrongs
|
So now I'm chasing down where I belong
|
To pay my dues before I'm gone
|
|
Chasing all the tight ends
|
I'm chasing them down so the bluring blend into one great love
|
I'll make the men and pull back from the edge again
|
And heal the thing that stuck and broke
|
The nut it's always in my throat
|
A country on the Virgin and over throw
|
Rusty belly of the sun can boat
|
And in the last light of that winter's day
|
I little match and I watch the flames
|
From the biggest fire that I could make
|
Made a ..breath, river..
|
The hods and lines still in time
|
The cumbering, traveled a long way from Tennessee
|
To settle this free.
|
|
Once upon a reason time
|
The days to kill a long long drive
|
The D tour to where he once was mine
|
I found myself back in Salida,
|
In Salida.
|
In Salida.
