Tell Ol' Bill |
| The river whispers in my ear |
| I’ve hardly a penny to my name |
| The heavens have never seemed so near |
| All of my body glows with flame |
| The tempest struggles in the air |
| And to myself alone I sing |
| It could sink me then and there |
| I can hear the echoes ring |
| I tried to find one smiling face |
| To drive the shadow from my head |
| I’m stranded in this nameless place |
| Lying restless in a heavy bed |
| Tell me straight out if you will |
| Why must you torture me within? |
| Why must you come down off of your high hill? |
| Throw my fate to the clouds and wind |
| Far away in a silent land |
| Secret thoughts are hard to bear |
| Remember me, you’ll understand |
| Emotions we can never share |
| You trampled on me as you passed |
| Left the coldest kiss upon my brow |
| All of my doubts and fears have gone at last |
| I’ve nothing more to tell you now |
| I walk by tranquil lakes and streams |
| As each new season’s dawn awaits |
| I lay awake at night with troubled dreams |
| The enemy is at the gate |
| Beneath the thunder blasted trees |
| The words are ringin' off your tongue |
| The ground is hard in times like these |
| Stars are cold, the night is young |
| The rocks are bleak, the trees are bare |
| Iron clouds go floating by |
| Snowflakes fallin' in my hair |
| Beneath the gray and stormy sky |
| The evenin' sun is sinkin' low |
| The woods are dark, the town isn’t new |
| They |
