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

    Are friends electric

    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...

    Eclipse my heart, crown me king

    [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

    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...

    Entre dos aguas

    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

    Bette Davis eyes

    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...
