"(Quicksilver Daydreams Of) Maria"

"(Quicksilver Daydreams Of) Maria"



Well, a diamond fades quickly when matched to the face of Maria
All the harps they sound empty when she lifts her lips to the sky
The brown of her skin makes her hair seem a soft golden rainfall
That spills from the mountains to the bottomless depths of her eyes

Well, she stands all around me her hands slowly sifting the sunshine
All the laughter that linger down deep 'neath her smilin' is free
Well, it spins and it twirls like a hummingbird lost in the morning
Then caresses the south wind and silently sails to the sea

Ah, the sculptor stands stricken and the artist he throws away his brushes
When her image comes dancin' the sun she turns sullen with shame
And the birds they go silent the wind stops his sad mournful singing
When the trees of the forest start gently to whispering her name

So as softly she wanders I'll desperately follow her footsteps
And I'll chase after shadows that offer a trace of her sigh
Ah, they promise eternally that she lies hidden within them
But I find they've deceived me and sadly I bid them goodbye

So the serpent slide softly away with his moments of laughter
And the the old washer-woman has finished her cleanin' and gone
But the bamboo hang heavy in the bondage of quicksilver daydreams
And a lonely child longingly looks for a place to belong

"21st Century Blues"

"21st Century Blues"



Here I am in the 21st century
I have to say it ain't as cool as I hoped it would be
No man on the moon, nobody on Mars
Where the hell is my flying car?
Ain't nothing even like a teletransporter so far

It's hard times in the new millenium
Gettin' by on just the bare minimum
Everything to lose and nothing to spare
Going to hell and nobody cares
Ain't the future that Kennedy promised me
In the 21st century

Finally come to the age of Aquarius
And if we live through the Mayan apocalypse
There'll be pie in the sky above lemonade springs
A goddamn American utopian dream
If you believe that then you're more optimistic than me

Lights out in the heart of America
No love in a time of hysteria
It's head for the hills, every man for himself
Nobody helping out nobody else
Ain't the way that the Maharishi said it would be
In the 21st century

Pray for guidance, beg forgiveness
Vote for change and hope they find this
Only thing I know for sure is:
We stand now on the verge of history
The world can be anything that we want it to be

Where there's a will, there's a way
When there's a fire, there's a spark
Out in the streets, downtown in the park
Baby, the future's just waitin' on you and me
In the 21st century

In the 21st century

"A Bible And A Gun"

"A Bible And A Gun"



There's a full moon out tonight
And it's shining down on me
And in that purest light
Any fool could see

That this highway is paved with sorrow
And every mile is lined with pain
And when the sun comes up tomorrow
You'll be just as far away

Now I hear her whisper soft and low
Through every mile I run
As I travel through this world of woe
With a Bible and a gun

If a man was made to suffer
I'm a mighty man I know
From one heartache to another
I've been burnin' down this road

I've got one eye on the mirror
And one eye on the line
The end keeps growin' nearer
The past slips behind

I don't mean to hurt nobody
I don't mean to do no wrong
But somethin' out there's got me
And it's pulling me along

Darkness is my shelter
Emptiness my light
And stranger, heaven help you
If our paths cross tonight

"A Country Song"

"A Country Song"


A country song left the farm
As the young man marched to war
Became a sound heard clear around the world
From a lonely soldier's guitar
Who had never been so far before
For Mom and Dad and a special little girl
And cutting through the quiet like a whistle in the night
A train of memories and even city boys could ride

[Chorus:]
Mountain high, valley low
Proud and strong, a country song

Meanwhile cross the water
The mothers and the daughters
Were working in the defense factories
All up and down the line
The machines and women whined
A country song as blue as the sea
That stretched so far between
Like the prayers and the dreams
Of the men who where fighting to keep their country free

[Chorus]

Though it seemed to take forever
They were finally back together
And the young men took a restless look around
'Cause it seemed the world unfolded
And the land just couldn't hold 'em
So they headed for the cities and the towns
They could feel the homefires glow
As they gathered around the radio
To hear the Grand Old Opry as the weekend rolled around

[Chorus]

There's a kid out on the highway
Who says he's got some dues to pay
So he set out with a guitar and a dream
He don't look much like a cowboy
But he swears he's gonna make some noise
Change a tune or two in Tennessee
Though his hands had never worked the land
His granddad was a railroad man
He sang him Jimmie Rodgers songs as he sat upon his knee

[Chorus 2x]

"A Far Cry From You"

"A Far Cry From You"


Blinded by the tears the day you left
Memories, like a stone around my neck
I never thought that I would ever get
As far away from you as I now have

[Chorus:]
A far cry from you
I must've cried a river of regrets
It's water underneath the bridge, and that's
A far cry from from you

Far away from you enough to sigh
I laugh at all the tears you made me cry
But now even the echoes have all died
I'm looking back with no tears in my eyes

[Chorus 2x]

"A Little Bit In Love"

"A Little Bit In Love"



I don't fall in love as a rule
Because it always makes me look like a fool
Well, it keeps me up late
I can't concentrate
And I pride myself on keepin' my cool
But I got to admit
I'm just a little bit in love with you

Now, I don't want you gettin' me wrong
Because I don't sit up at night by the phone
Well, if you come around
I let my guard down
And I just can't seem to leave you alone
But I'll get over it
I'm just a little bit in love with you

Well, I tell myself that a little bit of love
Can't hurt a big man like me
But I never have heard of a little heart ache
And baby, that's what's scarin' me

So don't you get your hopes up if I call
Because I always catch myself when I fall
But I got to admit
That I'm a little bit in love with you

So don't you get your hopes up if I call
Because I always catch myself when I fall
But I got to admit
That I'm a little bit in love with you

Oh, honey, that's all you get
I'm just a little bit in love with you

"Acquainted With The Wind"

"Acquainted With The Wind"



I’m a travelin’ man wherever I roam all over this land I’m never alone
‘Cause I’m acquainted with the wind and me and him
Keep travelin’ along

No shelter from the storm no pillow for my head
‘Cept for maybe my arm
But I’m sleepin’ like the dead no ceilin’ but the sky
And here I lie
And in the mornin’ I’ll be gone

Whenever I please
I’m howlin’ like a gale
I’m whisperin’ like a breeze I’m acquainted with the wind and I reckon that it’s him that’s carryin’ me

I’m the ramblin’ kind
No matter where I roll everybody stands aside
Lets me rumble down the road aint got a lot of friends
But I’m acquainted with the wind and we’re travelin’ along

"After Mardi Gras"

"After Mardi Gras"



See that shadow on the wall
Doesn’t look like me at all
Head hung down
Intentions meltin’ on the ground
Saddest shape I ever saw

There’s so much I need to do
Before I get over you
But I can’t bother with it all
Until after Mardi Gras
All that music in the air
Happy people everywhere
Make it hard to sing the blues
Until Mardi Gras is through

Put my loneliness away
Save it for a rainy day
Delay the pain
Nothin’ ventured nothin’ gained
The time’ll come but that’s okay

"Ain't Nobody's Daddy Now"

"Ain't Nobody's Daddy Now"



Standing on the corner
Bleaker 8th or 9th
Money in my pocket
Women on my mind

I’m free
Can’t nobody tie me down
Nothing ever worries me
Ain’t nobody’s daddy now

Here I say the women
Are the very finest kind
Clacking on their high heels
Like an engine down the line

I’m free
Can’t nobody tie me down
Nothing ever worries me
Ain’t nobody’s daddy now

I usually have a woman
Who worries me to death
Hammers on my pocket
And a’fools on my neck

I’m free
Can’t nobody tie me down
Nothing ever worries me
Ain’t nobody’s daddy now

Got a baby on the east side
Honey on the west
Got a woman uptown
But my downtown girl’s the best

I’m free
Can’t nobody tie me down
Nothing ever worries me
Ain’t nobody’s daddy now

(Watch this baby)

I’m free
Can’t nobody tie me down
Nothing ever worries me
Ain’t nobody’s daddy now
(She’s gone)

I’m free
Can’t nobody tie me down
Nothing ever worries me
Ain’t nobody’s daddy now
