Cowboy Junkies Lament
Baby hit the back door breathin' real heavySaid the boys in the alley wouldn't leave her aloneMama did her make-up in a terrible hurryShe finally got ready but the boys were goneMama don't you worry, night's aproachin'There's a hole in heaven where some sin slips throughClose your eyes and dream real steadyMaybe just a little will spill on youThe dark don't lieAnd dreams come trueCould be a few will see you throughOld lady Rose, lookin' down her noseAt lonely Miss Lily hiding in the hallLily's just praying for the trial to be overRosy's just waitin' for the ax to fallShow me off on the way to townThe sky's still shiny and the earth's still brownTell the judge I'm ready for the vasesGonna dance in their facesWhen the guitar soundsIt won't be longI won't be goneI've been leaning toward the shadows all alongLetras de cancionesThose in the know say how it goesYou plan on reapin' you better sowYou plan on sleepin' you better keep movin'Sleepin' ain't allowed around here you knowTell me please when the rollin's overMe and my baby gonna have some funBury our backs in a bed of cloverSmile in style while the sun goes downSnake eyes cryAnd boxcars sighSeven's stuck in the middle just wonderin' whyThe dark don't lieAnd dreams come trueAll it takes is one or twoMaybe just a few will see you throughMaybe just a few will see you through From Letras Mania
