Альбом Willie Nelson

Now blue ain't the world for the way that I feel
And the storm's brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
And you're someone else's love now you're not mine
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
And my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time

[ steel ]

So please take these treasured dreams I have for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine
Someday these crazy arms will hold somebody new but now I'm so lonely all the time
Crazy arms that reach to...
And that's why I'm lonely all the time

From the great Atlantic ocean
To the wide Pacific shore
To the queen of flowing mountains
For the hills and by the shore
She's mighty tall and handsome
And she's known quite well by all
She came down from Birmingham
On the Wabash Cannonball
Well now listen to the jingle
To the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodland
Through the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of the engine
And the lonesome hoboes call
No changes can be taken
On the Wabash Cannonball

[ steel ]

Now here's to daddy Claxton
May his name forever stand
He'll always be remembered
In the ports throughout the land
His earthly race is over
And the curtain round him falls
We'll carry him home to Glory
On the Wabash Cannonball
Well now listen to the jingle
To the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodland
Through the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of the engine
And the lonesome hoboes call
No changes can be taken
On the Wabash Cannonball

[ guitar ]

Well listen to the jingle
To the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodland
Through the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of the engine
And the lonesome hoboes call
No changes can be taken
On the Wabash Cannonball

I know not where on earth to find you
I know not how or where to start
I only know I'm here without you
And there's pins and needles in my heart

The days and nights are growing longer
Since first you said that we must part
And now you're smiling at another
And there's pins and needles in my heart
I know not where on earth to find you
I know not how or where to start
I only know I'm here without you
And there's pins and needles in my heart

[ guitar ]

I know not where on earth to find you
I know not how or where to start
I only know I'm here without you
And there's pins and needles in my heart

Who do I know in Dallas who can I call on the phone
Who do I know in Dallas that will help me forget she's gone
Shirley consoled me in Phoenix and Jeannie in old San Antone
But who do I know in Dallas that will help me forget that I'm alone

[ steel ]

I can't spend the night without someone the lonelies will drive me insane
So who do I know in Dallas that will make me be happy I came
Who do I know in Dallas that will make me be happy I came

Well I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
Cuz I know just what I'm gonna do
I'll start to spend my money callin' everybody honey
And I'll wind up singin' the blues
I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck
And brother I can name you a few
Well I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
Cuz I know just what I'm gonna do

I gotta get drunk, I just can't stay sober
There's a lot of good people in town
Who like to see me holler, see me spend my dollar
And I wouldn't dream of lettin' 'em down
There's a lot of doctors tell me
That I'd better start slowing it down
But there's more old drunks than there are old doctors
So I guess we'd better have another round

Repeat first verse

Once more with feeling once more with feeling
Won't you hold me till the night fades into day
Once more with feeling once more with feeling
Hold me close don't let this feeling go away

Sometimes myself runs back to you
I just can't tell me what to do
But I remember when all wrapped up tight within
The shelter of my arms you used to stay
Once more with feeling...
Once more with feeling...

Bows and flows of angel hair
Ice cream castles in the air
And feathered canyons everywhere
I'd look at clouds that way

Now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I could have done
The clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud's illusions I recall
I really don't know cloud at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris Wheels
Dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale complete
I'd look at love that way

But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughin' when you go
And if you care don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all

It's a Bloody Mary morning,
Baby left me without warning
Sometime in the night
So I'm flyin' down to Houston
Forgetting her's the nature of my flight

As we taxi toward the runway
With the smog and haze
Reminding me of how I feel
Just a country boy who's learnin'
That the pitfalls of the city
Are extremely real

All the night life and the parties
And temptation and deceit
The order of the day
Well it's a Bloody Mary mornin'
Cause I'm leavin' baby somewhere in LA
It's a Bloody Mary morning...

[ guitar ]

Our golden jet is airborn
And flight Fifty cuts a path
Across the mornin' sky
And a voice comes on the speaker
Reassuring us flight Fifty
Is the way to fly

And a hostess takes our order
Coffee tea or something stronger
To start off the day
Well it's a Bloody Mary morning
Cause I'm leavin' baby somewhere in LA
It's a bloody mary morning...

Everybody's talkin' 'bout me
I don't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes in my mind
Everybody stops to starin'
I don't even see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Through the fallin' rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin' off the northeast wind
And sailin' on summer breeze
Skippin' over the ocean like a stone

[ guitar ]

Everybody's talkin' 'bout me
I don't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind
Everybody stops to starin'
I don't even see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I won't let you leave my love behind
I won't let you leave my love behind
I won't let you leave my love behind

One has my name and the other has my heart
With one I'll remain
That's when my heartaches start
One has brown eyes and the other's eyes're blue
To one I am tied
To the other I am true
One has my love and the other only me
But what good is love
To a heart that can't be free
So I'll go on living
My life's just the same
While one has my heart and the other has my name

[ steel - guitar ]

One has my love and the other only me
But what good is love
To a heart that can't be free
So I'll go on living
My life's just the same
While one has my heart and the other has my name

When we look into each other's eyes
Our hearts aren't beating wildly as they beat before
And when we hold each other in our arms
We can't receive the same vibrations anymore
And when we hear each other speak our names
We don't hear the ringing and the singing of a million bells
Perhaps our hearing's failing us perhaps we're hearing other things but who can tell
It could be said that way it could be said that way
But I'd much rather say it's time for me to go
What's the point in making leaving any harder than a leaving really ought to be
And this road on which I travel paved with broken glass and gravel
Has just room for me I hope there's room for me
I suspect that I'll be lonely but I know that if I'm lonely I'll deserve to be
And I plan to think about you just as often as I will and that's my plans for me
It could be said that way it could be said that way
But I'd much rather say it's time for me to go
What's the use in making rhymes I'd much rather say it's time for me to go
