it’s my broken heart just where you leave me
now i say to you, “ooooh boy.”

weight on my head
you won’t go up, oh
weight on my head
oooh ooh my babe…

stay a minute just to hear you waitin’,
and no one confine her
sweet and tender won’t you go out again?

oh, rain on my head
wouldn’t you
rain on my head?
oh, someone take off a
weight all alone

ahh, i met a girl recently.
all in a sudden, all a suddenly
nobody deal for the woe of the world
wait, all a sudden, all a suddenly
it will all would be, all would be over

wait, come on rain on my head.
water water!

dates,
many, many dates how you all die.

oh rain money,
grow a war at heart
and in the fire,
one out of a million.

.. wait a minute,
touch your look on me
denial, denial
touch your work with me
do not deny
rain on my head
rain on my head
rain on my head
rain on my head

i call you up
you pick up
you call my bluff
on the cards of love
you hold too close
your hands to your chest
i can’t read your eyes
but i confess

it’s lonely far from you oh
even when you’re right by me
it’s only why i wait for you
to take my hand…

why do i beg like a child for your candy?
why do i come after you like i do? i love you…
whate’er you are… i swear
you’ll be my angel
you…

i play my cards
the best i can
but i lose my luck
when you’re not here

my darling heart
won’t ya please give in?
i may be strong
but i want ya back again…

when you’re not here
oh its hard to pretend
its all alright again
when your not here love

its all alright

still, why do i beg like a child for your candy
why do i run after you like i do, i love you
whate’er you are…
i swear
you’ll be my angel…
you…

watch the deck, count your cards
it makes no sense that i’m always losin
when you’re gone…

why do i beg like a child for your candy
why do i come after you like i do i love you
whate’er you are
i swear
you’ll be my angel
you…
when you’re gone…

i am an old woman, named after my mother
my old man is another, child that’s grown old
if dreams were thunder, lightning were desire
this old house would have burnt down, a long time ago

make me an angel that flies from montgomery
make me a poster from an old rodeo
just give me one thing that i can hold on to
to believe in this living is just a hard way to go

when i was a young girl, well i had me a cowboy
he weren’t much to look at, just a free rambling man
but that was a long time, and no matter how i try
the years just flow by, like a broken down dam

there’s flies in the kitchen, i can hear ‘em there buzzing
and i ain’t done nothing, since i woke up today
how the hell can a person, go to work in the morning
and come home in the evening, and have nothing to say

he wakes up in the morning
does his teeth, bite to eat and he’s rolling
never changes a thing
the week ends, the week begins

she thinks, we look at each other
wondering what the other is thinking
but we never say a thing
and these crimes between us grow deeper

take these chances
place them in a box until a quieter time
lights down, you up and die

goes to visit his mommy
she feeds him well, his concerns
he forgets them
and remembers being small
playing under the table and dreaming…

take these chances
place them in a box until a quieter time
lights down, you up and die

driving along this highway
all these cars and up on the sidewalk
people in every direction
no words exchanged,
no time to exchange when
all the little ants are marching
red and black antennae waving
they all do it the same
they all do it the same way,
candyman tempting the thoughts of a
sweet tooth tortured by weight loss programs
cutting the corners, there’s a
loose end, loose end, cut cut
on the fence, try not to offend
cut cut, cut cut

take these chances
place them in a box until a quieter time
lights down, you up and die

lights down, you up and die.

it’s gracious of you
to hold your arms
throw your charms around me
it’s gracious of you
to lead me by the hand
i really love you
it’s gracious of you
to be by my side, rolling wild
reeling thunder
it’s gracious of you
come again, come again to me
and save me the need to say goodbye
and why would i ask of you, need to say goodbye
say it, say it, oh, i don’t know how to say this,
please, here leave me warm, hollowed and open.
(yodeling…. ) one more…. (more yodeling)
and then leave, yeah.
it’s gracious of you to hold me while
i don’t want to say goodbye, yeah…
oh goodbye…… it’s too soon for me to
say goodbye, say goodbye hey, it’s warm here
say goodbye leave it cold again, cold again.
say, say goodbye.
