|
The sun, the moon and the stars |
|
they make the wind blow |
|
It took me twenty years to understand |
|
Lost to me are how the lives of friends go |
|
like autumn leaves in Oklahoma wind |
|
But it made me strong to be on my own |
|
It never did me no harm to live all alone |
|
Oh, but now and then |
|
in the colour of the evening |
|
Drunken in a barroom |
|
with a fan turning |
|
I've come to miss a few |
|
This afternoon was cloudy and the rains came |
|
Third day of my first day San Miguel |
|
Seems lately that I'm doubling as Storm bait |
|
I've been followed like a shadow through the dell |
|
But it made me strong to be on my own |
|
It never did me no harm to live all alone |
|
Oh, but now and then |
|
in the colour of the evening |
|
Drunken in a barroom |
|
with a fan turning |
|
I've come to miss a few |
|
Dear friends and relations |
|
see what I have done |
|
I've gathered all my fingers in one place |
|
They breathe a breath that's deadly stale |
|
since they tooled a song for me |
|
I guess mechanics never really set the pace |
|
Cause I'm back and I'm strong |
|
I'm here on my own |
|
It never did me no harm |
|
to live all alone |
|
Oh, but now and then |
|
in the colour of the evening |
|
Drunken in a barroom |
|
with a fan turning |
|
I've come to miss a few |
|
The sun, the moon and the stars |
|
they make the wind blow |
|
It took me twenty years to understand |
|
But lost to me are how the lives of friends go |
|
like autumn leaves in Oklahoma wind |
|
...oh, but now and then |
|
it's in the colour of the evening |
|
Drunken in a barroom |
|
with a fan turning |
|
I'll come to miss a few |
