Utah Phillips - The Telling Takes Me Home songtekst
Je score:
Let me sing to you all the old songs I know Of wild, windy places locked in timeless snow And wide, crimson deserts where the muddy rivers flow It's sad, but the telling takes me home Come along with me to some places that I've been Where people all look back and still remember when And the quicksilver legends, like sunlight, turn and blend It's sad, but the telling takes me home We'll walk along some wagon road, down the iron rail Past lines of rusty Cadillac's that mark the boom town trail Where dreamers never win and doers never fail It's sad, but the telling takes me home I can tell you all some lies that were just made up for fun Where the loudest, meanest bragging could beat the fastest gun And I'll show you all some graves that tell the way the West was won It's sad, but the telling takes me home I'll sing of my amigos who come from down below And whisper in their loving tongue the songs of Mexico They work their stolen Eden, lost so long ago It's sad, but the telling takes me home I'll sing about an emptiness the East has never known Where coyotes don't pay taxes and a man can be alone And you have to walk forever just to find a telephone It's sad, but the telling takes me home Oh, let me sing to you all the old songs I know Of wild, windy places locked in timeless snow And wide, crimson deserts where the muddy rivers flow It's sad, but the telling takes me home
