Baby hit the back door breathin' real heavy Said the boys in the alley wouldn't leave her alone Mama did her make-up in a terrible hurry She finally got ready but the boys were gone Mama don't you worry, night's aproachin' There's a hole in heaven where some sin slips through Close your eyes and dream real steady Maybe just a little will spill on you
The dark don't lie And dreams come true Could be a few will see you through
Old lady Rose, lookin' down her nose At lonely Miss Lily hiding in the hall Lily's just praying for the trial to be over Rosy's just waitin' for the ax to fall Show me off on the way to town The sky's still shiny and the earth's still brown Tell the judge I'm ready for the vases Gonna dance in their faces when the guitar sounds
It won't be long I'll be long gone I've been leaning toward the shadows all along
Those in the know say how it goes You plan on reapin' you better sow You plan on sleepin' you better keep movin' Sleepin' ain't allowed around here you know Tell me please when the rollin's over Me and my baby gonna have some fun Bury our backs in a bed of clover Smile in style while the sun goes down
Snake eyes cry And boxcars sigh Poor seven's in the middle just a-wonderin' why
The dark don't lie And dreams come true All it takes is one or two Maybe just a few will see you through Maybe just a few will see you throughTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
