Lyrics

[00:20.126] There’s a long-distance train rolling through the rain
[00:25.526]
[00:25.571] Tears on the letter I write
[00:29.831]
[00:29.896] There’s a woman I long to touch and I miss her so much
[00:35.516]
[00:35.561] But she’s drifting like a satellite
[00:40.091]
[00:40.150] There’s a neon light ablaze in a green smoky haze
[00:46.336]
[00:46.337] And laughter down on Elizabeth Street
[00:50.755]
[00:50.825] There’s a lonesome bell tone in that valley of stone
[00:56.261]
[00:56.332] Where she bathed in a stream of pure heat
[01:00.836]
[01:00.908] Her father would emphasize you got to be more than streetwise
[01:06.940]
[01:07.013] But he practiced what he preached from the heart
[01:11.338]
[01:11.351] A full-blooded Cherokee, he predicted it to me
[01:17.005]
[01:17.064] The time and the place that we part
[01:22.674]
[01:22.720] There’s a babe in the arms of a woman in a rage
[01:27.744]
[01:27.790] And a longtime golden-haired stripper onstage
[01:33.010]
[01:33.076] And she winds back the clock and she turns back the page
[01:37.360]
[01:37.420] Of a book that no one can write
[01:43.569]
[01:43.644] Oh, where are you tonight?
[01:55.879]
[01:55.939] The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure
[02:00.860]
[02:00.920] To live it you have to explode
[02:05.720]
[02:05.780] In that last hour of need, we entirely agreed
[02:11.285]
[02:11.345] Sacrifice was the code of the road
[02:16.505]
[02:16.572] I left town at dawn, with Marcel and St. John
[02:21.161]
[02:21.191] Strong men belittled by doubt
[02:26.062]
[02:26.122] I couldn’t tell her what my private thoughts were
[02:31.162]
[02:31.232] But she had some way of finding them out
[02:35.729]
[02:35.789] He took dead-center aim but he missed just the same
[02:41.294]
[02:41.354] She was waiting, putting flowers on the shelf
[02:45.749]
[02:45.826] She could feel my despair as I climbed up her hair
[02:51.584]
[02:51.648] And discovered her invisible self
[02:56.549]
[02:56.594] There’s a lion in the road, there’s a demon escaped
[03:01.845]
[03:01.888] There’s a million dreams gone, there’s a landscape being raped
[03:06.928]
[03:06.989] As her beauty fades and I watch her undrape
[03:12.031]
[03:12.104] Well, I won’t but then maybe again I might
[03:17.691]
[03:17.751] Oh, if I could just find you tonight
[03:29.706]
[03:29.772] I fought with my twin, that enemy within’
[03:34.746]
[03:34.791] Til both of us fell by the way
[03:39.231]
[03:39.276] Horseplay and disease is killing me by degrees
[03:44.781]
[03:44.853] While the law looks the other way
[03:49.266]
[03:49.325] Your partners in crime hit me up for nickels and dimes
[03:54.591]
[03:54.651] The man you were lovin’ couldn’t never get clean
[03:59.886]
[03:59.950] It felt outa place, my foot in his face
[04:04.477]
[04:04.538] But he should-a stayed where his money was green
[04:09.755]
[04:09.824] I bit into the root of forbidden fruit
[04:14.585]
[04:14.659] With the juice running down my leg
[04:18.815]
[04:18.860] Then I dealt with your boss, who’d never known about loss
[04:24.815]
[04:24.881] And who always was too proud to beg
[04:28.865]
[04:29.335] There’s a white diamond gloom on the dark side of this room
[04:34.899]
[04:34.915] And a pathway that leads up to the stars
[04:39.595]
[04:39.660] If you don’t believe there’s a price for this sweet paradise
[04:44.484]
[04:44.547] Just remind me to show you the scars
[04:49.119]
[04:49.187] There’s a new day at dawn and I’ve finally arrived
[04:54.924]
[04:54.970] If I’m there in the morning, baby, you’ll know I’ve survived
[04:59.754]
[04:59.799] I can’t believe it, I can’t believe I’m alive
[05:04.825]
[05:04.869] But without you it just doesn’t seem right
[05:09.930]
[05:09.960] Oh, where are you tonight?
[05:14.730]
