Lee Hazlewood I'll Live Yesterdays
Seems we're always doing something to hurt each other
But you know you never really hurt me
Until the 4th verse of this song
Blue eyes lookin' through an old grey curtain
Somebody forgot to pull down
Spiderweb memories hiding for certain the lonely faces of clowns
Running on beaches, surrounded by leeches
You never see children at play
If there's no tomorrow for us, then I'll live yesterdays
Once love the stranger that stood in the doorway
And begged us to come in
Hungry and eager we ran to the keyhole
And listened for voices of friend
People were lying and people were crying
We never heard children at play
If there's no tomorrow for us, then I'll live yesterdays
Ride on the wing of a sterile cowboy
Indifferent is what you will be
Lie on the floor and let four hands touch you
And two of the hands will be
No one is coming, yet someone is coming
Oh could it be children to play
If there's no tomorrow for us, then I'll live yesterdays
Dark is the canyon when life is beginning
And secrets are easy to keep
Soft is the baby that's resting inside you
So take it please while it's asleep
Knives that have cut you, and others have touched
You have taken our children away
If there's no tomorrow for us, then I'll live yesterdays
Love is the night that has taken you from me
And strangers are stealing my sleep
Cigarette mountains and fantasy fountains
And I lay me down to weep
But something inside me cannot be denied me
There must be some children to play
If there's no tomorrow for us, then I'll live yesterdays
