Joan Baez - The 33rd Of August songtekst
Je score:
Left me standing with my penny in my hand there?s a big crowd at the station where the blind man sings his song But he can see what they can?t understand. (CHORUS) It?s the thirty-third of August and I?m fin?lly touching down Eight days from Sunday finds me Saturday bound. Once I stumbled through the darkness, tumbled to my knees A thousand voices screamin? in my brain Woke up in a squad car, busted down for vagrancy Outside my cell as sure as hell, it looked like rain. But now I?ve got my dangerous feelings under lock and chain Guess I killed my violent nature with a smile Though the demons danced and sang their song within my fevered brain Not all my God-like thoughts, Lord, were defiled.
