Big Road Lyrics

Well I ain't goin' down that big long lonesome road
Pretty baby don't you hear me talkin'
No I ain't goin' down that big road by myself
If I can't carrry you baby
I'm gonna get me someone else

Alright boys
Well the sun is gonna shine in my back door some
My back door some, my door someday
You know the sun is gonna shine in he anchor hits the sand

The hungry hands

Have tied them to the port

The hour will be short

For leisure on the land

And the girls scent the air

They seem so fair

With paint on their face

Soft is their embrace

to lead them up the stairs

Soon your sailing will be over

Come and take the pleasures of the harbor



In the room dark and dim

Touch of skin

He asks her of her name

She answers with no shame

And not a sense of sin

Until the fingers draw the blinds

Sip of wine

The cigarette of doubt

The candle is blown out

The darkness is so kind

Soon your sailing will be over

Come and take the pleasures of the harbor



And the shadows frame t

ORIENTAL MISTORY 
SHADOWS FALL IN THE EAST 
THE ALTAR SHINING IN ITS MIGHT 
SHINING THROUGH THE DARKEST NIGHT 
TOLD AGAIN NOW IS THE TALE 
ABOUT THE DRAGON AND THE BEAST 
AND THE MULTITUDE OF SOULS 
AND HOW THEY REACHED THE TEMPLE WALL 
THEY DETHRONED

REIGNED IN SIN 
SHADOW EMPIRE e light

Same old sight

Thrill has blown away

Now all alone they lay

Two strangers in the night

Till his heart skips a beat

He's on his feet

To shipmates he must join

She's counting up the coins

He's swallowed by the street

Soon your sailing will be over

Come and take the pleasures of the harbor



In the bar hangs a cloud

The whiskey's loud

There's laughter in their eyes

The lonely in disguse

Are clinging to the crowd

And the bottle fills the glass

The haze is fast

He's trembling for the taste

Of passion gone to waste

In memories of the past

Soon your sailing will be over

Come and take the pleasures of the harbor

Louisiana Lyrics

Empty birdcage in her room
Curtains pulled against the moon
Follow her down to Louisiana
Hotel room bedside manner
God I've got to get back soon
She wriggles like a fish in a net
Details you can never forget
One thing or another
Never any (bother?) considering the (regret?)
//or//
Never anybody causing me no regret ?

Cry of pain

For love was but a smile

Teasing all the while

Now dancing down the drain

'Till the boys reach the dock

They gently mock

Lift him on their backs

Lay him on his rack

And leave beneath the light

Soon your sailing will be over

Come and take the pleasures of the harbor



And the ship sets the sail

They've lived the tale

To carry from the shore

Straining at the oars

Or staring from the rail

And the sea bids farewell

She waves in swells

And sends them on their way

Time has been her pay

And time will have to tell

Soon your sailing will be over

Come and take the pleasures of the harbor
