One of those lazy days in April
When she arrived on a truck
I remember still
Eyes sweet like violins
Playing melodies of secret sins
And the way she moved
Like a cat on a roof
Careful not to fall
Not to slip at all
No one knew her name
Or why she came
But I guess in the end
it’s all the same
And she was
Easy as a gun
Yes, she was
Easy as a gun
At first, they met her with a smile
But in a few more weeks
Their thoughts grew vile
And the gentlemen were restless soon
When she took her walks in the afternoon
And no one understood
Why she stayed alone
And the wives would tear their hair at home
‚Please don’t take my man away from me’
But no one ever saw her misery
But she stayed
Easy as a gun
Yes, she was
Easy as a gun
It was Joey’s bar she chose to go
For a late-night drink
Whenever she felt low
And a million eyes would watch her dance
With naked feet and open hands
And one day in June when the fields were dry
You could see a shadow rushing by
And still no one knew her name
Or why she came
When they shot her down
in Coldharbour Lane
And she fell
Easy as a gun
Yes, she fell
Easy as a gun
I’m not the war
I am the invention
Of your fanatic minds
Of your intentions
I am released now
By destiny’s hands
And you will live
And I will dance

She picked a fruit
It was no good and she threw it away
She laughed at the night, that silly night
And slept through the day
She said, I’m not scared of your gods and sympathies
She cried, Mama won’t you tell them I’m no thief
Red horse, Oh red horse
You burn my eye
Sometimes I live and sometimes I die
And sometimes I believe that I was never there
Yes, sometimes it feels like I have never been there
Mama I’m no thief won’t you tell ‘em
He who gives not all has given nothing
And I’m just dancing in the wind
I’m dancing in the wind
Yes, I’m just laughing in the wind
I’m laughing in the wind
Hear the train a comin’ hear the train a comin’
Hear the train a comin’ hear the train a comin’
Hear the train a comin’ hear the train a comin’
Hear the train a comin’ hear the train [...]

Tamed

Call it a day
Don’t call me tomorrow
Tell me then
When you return
For the days are running wild
Into the night
Bring me the sea
Take me to land
I can wait
But not ’til the end
For my heart is far too wild
To be tamed
In the waking state
The false man leaves the knife
Was it a mistake
To take it
Just to make it
Call it a day
And call me tomorrow
Tell me then, friend
When you return
For the days are running wild
Into the night
In the waking state
The false man leaves the knife
Was it a mistake
To take it
Just to make it

The One

Oh, send to me
The one that never fails the weight
Oh, I will know him by the wistful sight
It sure has been
So many days of loneliness
Oh, send him back
Send him back to me
In London town
the rivers always have their way
the days would trail
the years of passing by
but once you’ve seen
the eyes that hold the golden reel
Oh, send him here
Send him back to me
...
So many nights
I stay outside
So many nights
Forging the way
Oh, send to me
The one that never fails the weight
Oh, I will know him by the wistful sight
It sure has been
So many days of loneliness
Oh, send him back
Send him back to me
So many nights
So many nights
So many nights
Forging the way

Ways

I had you there
On the verge of ‚reasons fall’
You caught a glimpse of
Something that you can’t recall
But Oh
Could it be easy
Roads like cinemas
And Oh
Could it be pleasing
Ghosts sway
From the past
Now that the cold has frozen fast
your outward gaze
Now that the past is
Something that you can’t erase
But you with your ways
Passing strange like
Passers-by
And you acting way past the range
That you provide
But Oh
Could it be easy
Roads like cinemas
And Oh
Could it be pleasing
Ghosts sway
From the past
