Альбом Lucinda Williams

I found the love I've been looking for
It's a real love, it's a real love
Standing up behind an electric guitar
It's a real love, it's a real love

And all the time I was thinking no way
And all the time I never thought I'd say
I found the love I've been looking for
It's a real love, it's a real love
It's a real love, it's a real love

I thought you'd call me from somewhere [Incomprehensible]
Come on baby we really got something
It's a soul connection, you're changin' my world
Give me your affection, be my girl
It's a real love, it's a real love
It's a real love, it's a real love

The thing about you so far, you squeeze my peaches
You send me postcards of girls on beaches
You're drinking in a bar in Amsterdam
I'm thinking baby far out, be my man
It's a real love, it's a real love
It's a real love, it's a real love

I found the love I've been looking for
It's a real love, it's a real love
Standing up behind an electric guitar
It's a real love, it's a real love

And all the time I was thinking no way
And all the time I never thought I'd say
I found the love I've been looking for
It's a real love, it's a real love
It's a real love, it's a real love
It's a real love, it's a real love
It's a real love, it's a real love

In the doorway soaking wet
It's raining cats and dogs
There's nothing for us to regret
The fire needs more logs

You manage to crack a smile
The sky is big and open
You stay for just a little while
The vows have all been broken

Chorus:
Circles and X's by your name
Day after day will bring a change
Some things will stay the same
Circles and X's by your name

Nothing left to be sorry for
But I still sit and sob
When I see you walk across the floor
And put your hand around the doorknob

You head down the drive and hope
The Chevy decides to start
I'm just at the end of my rope
And you're just tugging at my heart

You turn around to wave goodbye
You look at me and linger
The morning hears you sigh
And sunlight reflects off the silver on your finger

Repeat Chorus Twice

Some things will stay the same
Circles and X's by your name

Uprooted and restless, I paid the cost
I've been a mess, misguided and lost
But I've been so blessed since our paths have crossed
That's why I'm crying tears of joy

In my own little world since I was sixteen
Little miss playgirl making a scene
Then you took this girl and you made her your queen
That's why I'm crying tears of joy

I used to play games with my boyfriends
Fashion and fame, hip little trends
Now I have a real man, don't have to pretend
And that's why I'm crying tears of joy

I'll be your woman, be your everything
You be my baby, you be my king
You give my life meaning that's why I wear your ring
And why I'm crying tears of joy
And that's why I'm crying tears of joy
That's why I'm crying tears of joy

It's clear you have a death wish
And from what I hear, your latest dish
Lives for you and scares you half to death

You bend over backwards to make a statement
Hang from the rafters and lick the pavement
Split your lip and barely catch a breath

Your lovely eyes they close like petals
Your sweet surprise could win you medals
You strut your stuff and fan your peacock feathers

Even if you fake it to get attention
Whatever it'll take to get them to listen
Piss on your designer boots and designer leathers

Hey little rock star what don't you see
This is not all that it's cracked up to be
And I can't say I blame you for throwing the towel in
Or buying more fame by cashing your chips in

With all of your talent and so much to gain
To toss it away like that would be such a shame

Juvenile delinquent, misunderstood
Peter Pan and Robin Hood
Will you ever do the things you're afraid to do?

Will you ever know happiness little rock star
Or is your death wish stronger than you are?
Will you go up in flames like the torches that are carried for you?

Hey little rock star what don't you see?
This is not all that it's cracked up to be
I can't say I blame you for throwing the towel in
Or buying more fame by cashing your chips in

But with all of your talent and so much to gain
To toss it away like that would be such a shame
To toss it away like that would be such a shame

Oh my little honey bee
I'm so glad you stung me
You've become my weakness
Now I've got your sweetness

All up in my hair
Honey bee I swear
We make quite a pair
Oh my little honey bee

Oh my little honey bee
I'm so glad you stung me
Buzz around your hive now
You're in overdrive now

Give me such a thrill
Honey bee be still
Oh my little honey bee

Oh my little honey bee
I'm so glad you stung me
Now I've got your honey
All over my tummy

Honey bee, it's heaven
Twenty-four seven
Oh my little honey bee

Oh my little honey bee
I'm so glad you stung me
You've become my weakness
Now I've got your sweetness

All up in my hair
Honey bee I swear
We make quite a pair
Oh my little honey bee

Well, well, well, here it is again
The way I feel is down but then
You know if you toss a stone in a river
It sinks to the bottom, it won't rise up either

Hey, hey, hey, this here's a test
And it may not be the last
I tell you what I have to wonder
When I get lost and I end up yonder

Huh, huh, huh, ain't this a shame
Don't this beat all you've ever seen
Just when I thought I was getting it up there
Things went and got a whole lot tougher

My, my, my, how do you figure
The reason why we always differ
But hey now, you know what I mean
If you hang around trash you can't come out clean

Well, well, well, here it is again
The way I feel is down but then
You know if you toss a stone in a river
It sinks to the bottom, it won't rise up either

Well, well, well
Hey, hey, hey
Huh, huh, huh
My, my, my

Why'd I turn on you and say those things
I didn't mean 'em
Wish you were bringing your love back to me
Instead of leavin'

But if wishes were horses I'd have a ranch
Come on and give me another chance
Come on and give me, come on and give me
Come on and give me another chance

We used to drive through the canyons
And down to where the land meets the sea
I never knew what I had back there till you
Went away from me

But if wishes were horses I'd have a ranch
Come on and give me another chance
Come on and give me, come on and give me
Come on and give me another chance

I was scared of standing on the edge
Of darkness looking in
I hurt you bad and now I wish
We could begin again

But if wishes were horses I'd have a ranch
Come on, give me another chance
Come on and give me, come on and give me
Come on and give me another chance

Wish I could turn a sad and blue, blue day
Into something good
Wish I could somehow make it go away
I wish you understood

That if wishes were horses I'd have a ranch
Come on and give me another chance
Come on and give me, come on and give me
Come on and give me another chance

Come on and give me, come on and give me
Come on and give me another chance
Come on and give me, come on and give me
Come on and give me another chance

I'm crying jailhouse tears
And I've been trying all these years
I'm trying to ride things out but now I've shifted gears
And we're both crying jailhouse tears

They say I broke the law
Now everything's broken down
Babe, I know what I saw
I know you went downtown

They locked me up
And you locked me out
You tried to steal my truck but
That's not what this is about

I just went to the corner
To get a cold six pack
You're a drunk, you're a stoner
You never came back

I used to be a user
Now I'm out of stuff
You're a three time loser
You're all fucked up

And I'm crying jailhouse tears
And I've been trying all these years
I'm trying to ride things out but now I've shifted gears
And we're both crying jailhouse tears

I'll prove it to you somehow
I'm done with every bit
Look at me I'm clean now
You're so full of shit

I swear I will tell all
Look in my dresser drawers
Now I'm behind the 8-ball
And you're behind bars

And I'm crying jailhouse tears
And I've been trying all these years
Been trying to ride things out but now I've shifted gears
And we're both crying jailhouse tears

I'm crying jailhouse tears
And I've been trying all these years
I'm trying to ride things out but now I've shifted gears
And we're both crying jailhouse tears
We're both crying jailhouse tears

I didn't know what love meant before
I didn't know what you had waiting for me in store
I didn't know that I'd be finding out so much more
About the knowing and the knowing is all there is

About yes and yes, this is it
I didn't know

I didn't know what precious time would make
I didn't know how fragile a kiss could seem
I didn't know that finally all of dawn is trained
About the knowing and the knowing is all there is

About yes and yes, this is it
I didn't know

I didn't know I'd never look at life the same
I didn't know until I walked with you in the rain
I didn't know until I found out you felt the same
About the knowing and the knowing is all there is

About yes and yes, this is it
I didn't know

I didn't know until together we lay
I didn't know until you touched my soul that day
I didn't know that you would teach me in your own way
About the knowing and the knowing is all there is

About yes and yes, this is it
I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know

We'll make it right
Gonna make it right
Up in heaven

Gonna make it right
Gonna make it right
Up in heaven
Gonna make it right
Gonna make it right
Up in heaven

Gonna make it right
Gonna make it right
Up in heaven

Gonna see my mother
Gonna see my mother
Up in heaven
Gonna see my mother
Gonna see my mother
Up in heaven

Gonna see my mother
Gonna see my mother
Up in heaven
Gonna see my mother
Gonna see my mother
Up in heaven

I wanna stand

When I get to heaven

You are a rarity
Your eyes say wisdom
Your skin says frailty
Your mouth says listen

Your voice a cello
Your words speak volumes
In and out around flow
Like Leonard Cohen's

Since you were invented
Since you came along
No one's even attempted
To come close to the beauty of your song

No hits on the radio
No one knows who you are
No big deal with a video
So you're never gonna be a star

You won't be attending
Meetings with presidents
Of companies pretending
To protect their investments

While they suck the gristle
Off the bones of your art
Unfaithful and fickle
Seductive and smart

They'll say you're a rarity
And sleep in your bed
And strangle your purity
And leave you for dead

They'll call you little honey
And write you a check
Seduce you with money
And fuck your respect

For offering a small glimpse
Through your secret door
Of your intellect and brilliance
You deserve so much more

'Cause you, you're a rarity
Your eyes say wisdom
Your skin says frailty
Your mouth says listen

Okay, this is in G

When leaders can't be trusted
And hero's let us down
And innocence lies rusted
Frozen beneath the ground

And the destitute isolated
We've all been forgotten
And the the fruit trees we planted
Are withered and rotten

The abuse and magnificent
Suffer from infection
And the promises were given
But never with intention

War becomes common place
Secrets overheard
And violence, big business
And love is just a word

Why do we marry, why do we fall in love?
Keep on believing in love
Because love, love is my sward
Love is a weapon, love is a lesson

And we, we are the conquerors
We are the soldiers, we are the lovers
That's why we fall in love
That's why we believe in love, that's why we marry

Ridin' down the highway
Goin' to a show
Stop in all the by-ways
Playin' rock 'n' roll
Gettin' robbed
Gettin' stoned
Gettin' beat up
Broken boned
Gettin' had
Gettin' took
I tell you folks
It's harder than it looks
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you think it's easy doin' one night stands
Try playin' in a rock roll band
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
Hotel, motel
Make you wanna cry
Lady do the hard sell
Know the reason why
Gettin' old
Gettin' grey
Gettin' ripped off
Under-paid
Gettin' sold
Second hand
That's how it goes
Playin' in a band
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out it's rough and mean
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way
It's a long way
It's a long way
Such a long way
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
