I remember you, baby, sweetened by time, yeah
Giving me a reason, symbols to write, symbols to write
Cold haunting shadows, wild in your mind, yeah
The mountains seem higher, fountains of light
The sun burns you hotter, untouched by pride, yeah
Forces that move you, fools never learn, no
Fools never learn, fools never learn, no, c'mon
Lone man wait on the borderline
Says, 'give me one good reason to make up my mind
One good reason to waste my time
Hide in my safety, let me shield my eyes
From words that mean nothing, fostered by hate
Words that mean something, be my opiate'
Spoken too late, babe, they were spoken too late
Spoken too late, yeah, spoken too late, oh, my lady, yeah
Oh, no, no, no
Tell me of the fire you were dreaming of
Standing in the way of our consuming love
Of our consuming love
No, I never saw anything like this heart in my hand
But your body, baby, yeah, oh, your body, baby, yeah, oh, yeah
How am I supposed to know how to make it last
Caught believing in something at last, something at last
Something at last
Little square houses on the prairie's end
We all heard they were never coming back again
Red man's back to the cold north wind
To the south he's drowning in a sea of man
Iron horse coming down the sacred road
Wasicus steel to break the bow
Saying this is a good day to die
Drinking whiskey and rye
Drinking whiskey and rye, from the burning cup
Drinking whiskey and rye, oh, my lady, yeah
Hey-oh-hey-oh-hoka, hey-hey-oh-hoka-hey, oh...
Hey-oh-hey-oh-hoka, hey-hey-oh-hoka-hey, oh...
Let me be the water that you bring to your lips, baby
Feel the heat of those fingertips
Float by your wisdom, shaped by my hands
Come through my prism, and catch what you can
Touch what you can
(Touch what you can)
Some like it hot, baby, and some like it cold, yeah
Some like it in the fire nine days old
Nine days old, nine days old, nine days old
I remember you, baby, sweetened by time, yeah
Giving me a reason, symbols to write, symbols to write
Symbols to write, symbols to write
