By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising She'll find the note I left hanging on her door She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leaving
Tonight in the bar alone I'm sitting Apart from the laughter and the cheer Scenes from the past rise before me While watchin' the bubbles in my beer
A bright array of city lights as far as I can see. The great white wave shines through the night for lonely guys like me. The cabaretes and honky tonks
I tried so hard my dear, to show that you're my every dream Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme A memory from your lonesome past
When I left the trees, had no green leaves Like your love everything had died I said, ?If I ever come back to you It'll be a cold day in July? The winter
I just received your last letter and I feel so blue I'm paying dearly for promises broken so free I never dreamed that there'd be such a longing for you
These lyin' lips said, they'd forget Those same lovin' arms that I miss This foolish heart that let me part From those sweet, tender lips, I long to kiss
Oh, Danny Boy The pipes, the pipes are callin' From Glen to Glen And down the mountain side The summer's gone And all the roses fallin' It's you, it'
I'm drifting into deep water I'm startin' to care for you You're getting me in deep water Be careful what you do You wanna romance but I'm seeking love
Crazy, crazy for feeling so lonely I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted And then some day you'd leave me for
Don't let the stars get in your eyes Don't let the moon break your heart Love blooms at night, in daylight it dies Don't let the stars get in your eyes
She can give you a reason to live if she wants to She can make you forget other loves that you have known She has two lips and two arms that thrill you
Always I'll be loving you, always With a love that's true, always When the things you plan Need a helping hand I will understand Always, always Days
Your hand is like a torch Each time you touch me, the look in your eyes pulls me apart Don't open the door to heaven if I can't come in Don't touch me
I stand on the stairway my back to the dungeon The doorway to freedom so close to my hand While voices behind me still bitterly damn me For seeking salvation
Each time I see your picture A flood of memories starts And the blue tide that's rising around my feet Is breaking inside my heart And though I fight
You make my eyes run over all the time You're happy when I'm out of my mind You don't love me but you won't let me be Don't you ever get tired of hurting
I'm just driftwood on the river floating down the tide I don't care where this old river carries me I'll keep drifting just because my heart is broken
