| [00:16.58] |
I put another quarter in the wishing well |
| [00:20.83] |
I prayed to the dark, and down it fell |
| [00:24.46] |
Down in the watery deep |
| [00:28.64] |
Are promises that no one can keep |
| [00:32.22] |
Well I’ve spent so many diamonds |
| [00:34.60] |
that my crowns almost bare |
| [00:36.69] |
And the patches on my heart |
| [00:38.71] |
are sewn on with care |
| [00:40.55] |
And every time that I hit the floor |
| [00:44.56] |
I keep coming back for more |
| [00:48.85] |
So buy me a ticket on this one way train |
| [00:52.56] |
Cause the only way to love |
| [00:54.71] |
is again and again |
| [00:56.79] |
And I’m riding the rails through this hurricane |
| [01:00.58] |
Let it rain, oh let it rain |
| [01:04.94] |
Take a whisper from my lips |
| [01:06.85] |
Sold a breath from my chest |
| [01:08.85] |
Steal a beat from my heart |
| [01:10.83] |
Put my soul to the test |
| [01:12.78] |
Lay my guns in the ground |
| [01:14.67] |
and my lies to the west |
| [01:16.88] |
Let it rest, oh let it rest |
| [01:21.29] |
I once stole sunshine from a desert dream |
| [01:24.98] |
I once went fishing in a dried up stream |
| [01:29.12] |
I held mountains in my hand |
| [01:32.90] |
I wasn’t careful and they turned to sand |
| [01:36.77] |
I once met a sweet magnolia flower |
| [01:41.23] |
that smelled as soft as the midnight hour |
| [01:45.18] |
She stole diamonds from my dreams |
| [01:49.28] |
and wore them like a Zingara queen |
| [01:53.37] |
And may our scars be as pretty as a pink ole’ Texas sky |
| [02:17.25] |
And soft and tender like the whisper of a jackalope’s sigh |
| [02:25.19] |
And when we light new candles |
| [02:29.67] |
and our old ghosts haunt us on |
| [02:33.63] |
May the flames burn them |
| [02:35.74] |
away with the dawn |
| [02:41.65] |
I met Aphrodite on a summer’s day |
| [02:45.69] |
through weeds and the brambles |
| [02:47.76] |
She showed me the way |
| [02:49.60] |
And left a glass crystal in my soul |
| [02:53.80] |
that echoed like a singing bowl |
| [02:57.75] |
I rode to edge of a canyon deep |
| [03:01.94] |
where the wind was so strong |
| [03:03.74] |
It knocked me off of my feet |
| [03:05.78] |
Like a banshee out in the storm |
| [03:09.70] |
What I knew again I’d been reborn |
| [03:14.17] |
So buy me a ticket on this one way train |
| [03:17.92] |
Cause the only way to love |
| [03:21.66] |
is again and again |
| [03:22.39] |
And I’m riding the rails through this hurricane |
| [03:26.22] |
Let it rain, oh let it rain |
| [03:30.15] |
Take a whisper from my lips |
| [03:32.13] |
Sold a breath from my chest |
| [03:34.05] |
Steal a beat from my heart |
| [03:36.12] |
Put my soul to the test |
| [03:38.13] |
Lay my guns in the ground |
| [03:40.10] |
and my lies to the west |
| [03:42.47] |
Let it rest, oh let it rest |
| [03:45.87] |
Oh let it rest |
| [03:50.47] |
|
