Cowboy Junkies Lament Lyrics

INTRO: D Em G A7 D 2x
Baby hit the back door breathin real heavy
Said the boys in the alley wouldnt leave her alone
Mama did her make-up in a terrible hurry
She finally got ready but the boys were gone
Mama dont you worry, nights approachin
Theres a hole in heaven where some sin slips through
Just close your eyes and dream real steady
Maybe just a little will spill on you
The Dark dont lie
The Dreams come true
Could be a few will see you through
Old lady rose, lookin down her nose
At lonely miss lily hiding in the hall
Lilys just praying for the trial to be over
Lady rose just waiting for the ax to fall
Show me off on the way to town
The skys still shiny and the earths still brown
Tell the judge Im ready for the vases
Gonna dance in their faces when the guitar sounds
It wont be long
I'll be long gone
I been leaning toward the shadows all along
SOLO BREAK:
Those in the know say so it goes
You plan on reapin, you better sow
You plan on sleepin, You better keep movin
Sleepin aint allowed around here you know
Tell me please when the rollings over
Me and my baby gonna have some fun
Bury our backs in a bed of clover
Smile in style while the sun goes down
The Snake eyes cry,
Boxcars sigh
Sevens stuck in the middle just wonderin why
The Dark dont lie
The Dreams come true
All it takes is one or two
Maybe just a few will see you through
Maybe just a few will see you through
