Cowboy Junkies Lament
Cowboy Junkies · Best Of Cowboy Junkies [2001]
BABY HIT THE BACK DOOR BREATHIN' REAL HEAVY
SAID THE BOYS IN THE ALLEY WOULDN'T LEAVE HERE ALONE.
MAMA DID HER MAKE-UP IN A TERRRIBLE HURRY
SHE FINALLY GOT READY BUT THE BOYS WERE GONE.
MAMA DON'T YOU WORRY, NIGHT'S APPROACHIN'
THERE'S A HOLE IN HEAVEN WHERE SOME SIN SLIPS THROUGH
JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES AND DREAM REAL STEADY
MABYBE JUST A LITTLE WILL SPILL ON YOU.
DARK DON'T LIE
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
LADY ROSE JUST WAITING FOR THE AXE 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 VASES
GONNA DANCE IN THEIR FACES
WHEN THE GUITAR SOUNDS
WON'T BE LONG
I WON'T BE GONE
BEEN LEANING TOWARD THE SHADOWS ALL ALONG
THOSE IN THE KNOW SAY SO 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
BOXCARS SIGH
SEVEN'S STUCK IN THE MIDDLE
JUST WONDERIN' WHY
DARK DON'T LIE
DREAMS COME TRUE
ALL IT TAKE IS ONE OR TWO
MAYBE JUST FEW WILL SEE YOU THROUGH
