I wouldn’t trade your sweetness For all the sugar in the world Girl, and i know you’ll always be The sweetest part of me These bitter tears we’ve cried All of the smack in manhattan Could not keep me high Why do you do the things you do To keep me loving you Darlin’ i […]
Friend of mine Has gone away Like a light from yesterday Lost in space Somewhere they say This friend of mine He could sing Like a child A mother’s dream So sweet and mild Or big and mean Loud and wild This friend of mine His voice is still Like the night Rustling winds Of […]
These are the words That cry out of me in the night Like a buffalo herd From a shotgun blast scattered in flight I got a one track mind Going down a one train line Living on dreams half the time Going west I gotta pick up speed Just to get what i need The […]
