(GUITAR SOLO INTRO)



oh, babe within a dream I've been lovin' you



for shame to scratch the seam sealing servitude



never known such a branded iron



never known such a strong desire



withered words and wine for now



soon the judge will be calling us down



yeah, yeah, yeah



(GUITAR SOLO)



 



enraged like horses hobbling on the moon



engaged in a game we should not pursue



now the jury's lost its tongue



they hold our heads to be hung



a man may mute his mind



better blue than beaten or blind



yeah, yeah, yeah



(GUITAR SOLO)



 



tears won't wash away



tears can't wash away feelings



words can't start to say



words can't convey their meanings



tears won't wash away



(GUITAR SOLO)



 



in vain are the terms all too often used



in vain telling thoughts too long overdue



now the prison's in your eyes



the jailer is your lies



withered words and wine for now



soon the judge will be calling us down



yeah, yeah, yeah



(GUITAR SOLO)
