Down by the banks of the Guadalupe

On a summer's evening and a haloed moon

Wide-eyed as nightowls, naked as a dream

We washed our love in the rippling waters of a rambling stream.

We slept like time itself under diamond skies

Far from the bright lights and the city's lies

Our love arose like a morning dream

And it was washed in the rippling waters of a rambling stream.

Blue Shadows

Devil moon over head

Blue Shadows

On a half-empty bed

Broken promises, loving words left unsaid
I remember them all

As Blue Shadows fall.

Is twilight more lonely than any other time?

It sure feels that way to me tonight.

The sound of your laughter

The joy of your smile

The sky on the day we met

I remember them all

As Blue Shadows fall.

If my words did glow

With the gold of sunshine

And my tunes were played

On the harp unstrung

Would you hear my voice
Come through the music

Would you hold it near

As it were your own?

It's a hand me down

The thoughts are broken

Perhaps they're better

Left unsung

I don't know

Don't really care

Let there be songs

To fill the air

Ripple in still water

One Endless night

So very long ago

Close as the moment

I held someone
To be the last

To be the only one

For all and everything

One Endless night.

When you awoke

And told me of your dream

The waves that rolled across

The starry skies

And broke upon

Your heart and disappeared

And promised everything

One Endless night.

I see you now

And I suppose

Well I ain't gonna sing no lonesome tune

Oh, Babe, I'm coming soon

I cannot believe I stayed so long away.

But a man must look around
And you're the sweetest thing I've found

Your lost high roller's rolling home today.

Well my daddy said to me

Son, it's hard as you will see

To find someone upon whom to rely.

And in the kitchen Mama sneezed

These are the words that cry out of me in the night.

Like a buffalo herd from a shotgun blast scattered in flight

I got a one track mind

Going down a one train line
Living on dreams half the time

Going west

I gotta pick up speed

Just to get what I need

The end of the line guaranteed

Your love is my rest.

The coal catches fire and I'm down the wire in a flash

Dusty roads and winter time,

Tonight I'm thinking of the town

And the one I left behind

To do this rambling 'round.
Tonight I'm drinking while I'm thinking

Until the beer joints close

And I'm thinking of someone

I called my Georgia Rose.

It's on dusty streets we walked

And talked of things to be

And she never laughed or mocked

Where the Walker runs down through the Carson Valley plain

There lived a maiden Darcy Farrow was her name

The daughter of old Dundee and a fair one was she

The sweetest flower that bloomed over the range.

Her voice was as sweet as the sugar candy

Her touch was as soft as a bed of Eider-down

Her eyes shone bright as the pretty lights

I live on a big round ball.

I never do dream I may fall.

And even if one day I do,
Well I'll jump off and smile back at you.

I don't even know where we are.

They'll tell you we're circling a star.

Well I'll take their word, I don't know

But I'm dizzy so it may be so.

I'm riding a big round ball.

I never do dream I may fall.

And even the high must lay low

Oh the shark has pretty teeth, Dear

And he shows them pearly white

Just a jacknife has Macheath, Dear

And he keeps it out of sight.

When the shark bites through his victim

Scarlet spreads amongst the green

But white gloves wears our Macheath, Dear

And the blood is never seen.
