spn_30snapshots Chosen Theme Set #12 Lyrics Prompt
01. One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
06. You should have asked me for it
I would have been brave
You should have asked me for it
How could I say no?
11. I asked you if a man could be forgiven
And though I failed at love, was this a crime?
You said, Don't worry, don't worry, darling
There are many ways a man can serve his time 16. And I'm comin' home again
It's been too long a time
Gettin' back what's mine
And I can't remember why I went away
But it's lookin' now like maybe I can stay
21. Please, remember me,
My misery,
And how it lost me all I wanted.
26. Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
02. If I could do it all again
I'd make more mistakes
Not be so scared of falling,
If I could do it again,
I would climb more trees
I'd pick and I'd eat
more wild blackberries
07. I've been treated so wrong
I've been treated so long
As if I'm becoming untouchable
I'm the slow dying flower
In the frost killing hour
Sweet turning sour and untouchable
12. There's gotta be a record of you some place
You gotta be on somebody's books
...
Somewhere your fingerprints remain concrete
And its your face Im looking for on every street
17. He's made of sand
Not flesh and not bone
He's as good as the seeds he's sown
But he loves you so
Like no one else you know could do
22. Turn the light out say goodnight
No thinking for a little while
Let's not try to figure out everything at once
27. And honey I was never gonna change,
And honey you are never gonna change,
But don't you love it that way?
03. A broom is drearily sweeping
Up the broken pieces of yesterdays life
Somewhere a queen is weeping
Somewhere a king has no wife
08. Everybody seems to wonder
What it's like down here
I gotta get away from this day-to-day running around,
Everybody knows this is nowhere.
13. Don't cry
You can rely on me honey
You can come by any time you want
I'll be around
You were right about the stars:
Each one is a setting sun
18. And I know that I'm damned if I never get out
And maybe I'm damned if I do
But with any other beat I got left in my heart
You know I'd rather be damned with you
23. And I could take another hit for you
And I could take away your trips from you
And I could take away the salt from your eyes
And take away the spitting salt in you
And I could give you my apologies
28. The Mississippi Delta was shining
Like a National guitar,
I am following the river
Down the highway
Through the cradle of the civil war
04. She's the one
She's the only one
Who makes me search myself
Until I'm done
09. And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass
It's just a moment
This time will pass
14. I better go it alone
Down on the corner
See me standin'
On a makeshift road
With the dust storm blowin'
In a long black shadow
...
Drivin' on the sidewalk
Lookin' back and the sky is burning
In my rearview mirror
I better go it alone
19. Have you run your fingers down
the wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you're searching for the light?
Sometimes when you're scared
to take a look
At the corner of the room
You've sensed that something's
watching you
24. Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive and the world it's turning inside out
I'm floating around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now don't stop me
'Cause I'm having a good time having a good time
29. I heard the news, lady
All about your disease
Yeah you may have all you want, baby
But I got something you need
Ain't talking bout love
My love is rotten to the core
Ain't talking bout love
Just like I told you before
05. But now and then I find myself
Thinkin' of the days
That (when) we were walking in
The Alabama rain
Drive-in movies, Friday nights
Drinkin' beer and laughin'
Somehow things were always right
I just don't know what happened
10. I kinda thought that I'd be better off by myself
I've never been so wrong before
...
I don't know what I've been trying to prove
I don't know what I've been trying to prove
15. Whoever is unjust, let him be unjust still.
Whoever is righteous, let him be righteous still.
Whoever is filthy, let him be filthy still.
Listen to the words long written down,
When the man comes around.
20. This is the last time
That I will say these words
I remember the first time
The first of many lies
Sweep it into the corner
Or hide it under the bed
Say these things they go away
But they never do
25. Maybe you and I got a lot to learn
Don't waist another day
Maybe you got to lose it all
Before you find your way
30. When the kicks go that it brings you
You will hanker for an anchor just to cling to
When you've lived it up till it's got you down
Look for me, I'll be around
