Emmylou Harris - Valerie songtekst
Je score:
Valerie (By Patti Scialfa) Valerie To the east and factories stand like fire breathing dragons against the sky. And from their throats a scarlet river burns itself into smoky lullabies. Over neon and fluorescent skies. VALERIE CAN YOU HEAR THOSE ENGINES DRONE. I WANTED TO GO TO MEXICO BUT I'M STRANDED HERE ALONE. AND ONCE I KNEW A TRUE LOVE IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS SINCE HE'S GONE. AND IF I COULD GET THAT FEELING BACK I'D GIVE UP EVERYTHING I OWN. Sixteen days since I left corona and I traveled to this carnival town near Alberndeel. And I rode the coaster there on the fairground. Twisted backbone of a beast that never heals. And I left some skin on fortunes wheel. VALERIE CAN YOU HEAR THOSE ENGINES DRONE. I WANTED TO GO TO MEXICO BUT I'M STRANDED HERE ALONE. AND ONCE I KNEW A TRUE LOVE IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS SINCE HE'S GONE. AND IF I COULD GET THAT FEELING BACK I'D GIVE UP EVERYTHING I OWN. Everything's in slow motion now in this little border town. I've come so close from so far. Just to hide behind these windows here from the world outside. I watch those cars and trucks raise trails of dust down the road as they pass by. VALERIE CAN YOU HEAR THOSE ENGINES DRONE. I WANTED TO GO TO MEXICO BUT I'M STRANDED HERE ALONE. AND ONCE I KNEW A TRUE LOVE IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS SINCE HE'S GONE. AND IF I COULD GET THAT FEELING BACK I'D GIVE UP EVERYTHING I OWN.
