Jerry Jeff Walker - Then came the children
Tekst :
Well come gather around me friends of mine,
While I sing to you about a minstrel band
Of children in their witches hats,
Painting pictures with the pipes of pan
How a young boy and his sister played some tunes
Upon a whistle made of tin
And led me through the flower gardens,
Laughing at the postman s stubby chin
And in my dizzy stupor,
I was trying to forfeit all I d known
And listen to that music that could swirl me in a magic all it s own
But somewhere in the distance,
You and I, we fought our monsters to a draw
It was in those days of books and wine,
With Ferlin Getty grasping for a straw
And out along the highways,
We journeyed far to find that mystic smile
Chasing down identities,
My God we must have run a million miles
So we can teach the children,
Nothing, nothing but survival in the desert bare
They can teach us how to laugh,
How to love and tie bright ribbons in our hair
So sing for us you children,
Tinkle bells and rhyme the purple, greens and blues
Think of us as fighting fools,
Who wintered through our seasons loving you
Think of us as fighting fools,
Who wintered through our seasons loving you
Cause you can teach us how to laugh,
How to love and tie bright ribbons in our hair

It s cold outside
And the paint s peeling off of my walls
There s a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette
And now the light fades out
And I wonder what I m doing in a room like...
[Act I: Ritual]
Red interludium of pain
Sacrifice for the vein of eternity
Battles of ages revealed
To my third eye
Darkness treasures as reward for my belief
I faint in final ecstasy
Surrender to the demon of war
[Act II: Redemption]
Proud and dauntless I stalk
Trough the gate of the nine seals
In the realm of perpetual divinity

Especially for you
I wanna let you know what I was going through
All the time we were apart
I thought of you
You were in my heart
My love never changed
I still feel the same
Especially for you
I wanna tell you I was feeling that way too
And if dreams were wings, you know
I would have...
As I look into your eyes
I see the reasons why
my life is worth a thousand heavens, baby
when you whisper in my ear
I feel myself so high
I know that this time it s forever.
I waited all my life
never thought that it could happen
Her hair is Harlow gold,
Her lips sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold
She s got Bette Davis eyes
She ll turn her music on
You won t have to think twice
She s pure as New York snow
She got Bette...
