Cowboy Junkies Lament

Baby hit the back door breathin' real heavy

Said the boys in the alley wouldn't leave her alone

Mama did her make-up in a terrible hurry

She finally got ready but the boys were goneMama don't you worry, night's aproachin'

There's a hole in heaven where some sin slips through

Close your eyes and dream real steady

Maybe just a little will spill on youThe dark don't lie

And dreams come true

Could be a few will see you throughOld lady Rose, lookin' down her nose

At lonely Miss Lily hiding in the hall

Lily's just praying for the trial to be over

Rosy's just waitin' for the ax to fallShow me off on the way to town

The sky's still shiny and the earth's still brown

Tell the judge, I'm ready for the vases

Gonna dance in their faces when the guitar soundsIt won't be long

I won't be gone

I've been leaning toward the shadows all alongThose in the know say how it goes

You plan on reapin', you better sow

You plan on sleepin', you better keep movin'

Sleepin' ain't allowed around here you knowTell me please when the rollin's over

Me and my baby gonna have some fun

Bury our backs in a bed of clover

Smile in style while the sun goes downSnake eyes cry

And boxcars sigh

Seven's in the middle just wonderin' whyThe dark don't lie

And dreams come true

All it takes is one or twoMaybe just a few will see you through

Maybe just a few will see you through

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
