Bet you run it on the highway Ain't you run it on the rail If you come to New Orleans You have flowers in your head
Once I knew a pretty woman Once I knew a pretty face But I never knew a woman Who could make me love and care
Too long have I been waiting Too long have I been alone Too long anticipating For my woman to come on So come on, come on, woman Come on, come to me Sit right here beside me Take me under my misery
Roses are white old flowers Strum upon by those streets Tremble them for an hour Just to feel your tender feet
And then I call the beast Call the stone I sighed with my legs In my arms Staring up through my roof At the gaping sky above
Made you fly (down free) (And I knew that your love) Made you fly (Gets to me through you)
As she went blue through my house Harlequinoed? this through my home (Made you fly down free) x2 She left me in her way But cannoying me alone Once I was quite a wise man Once I was quite a fool (Made you fly down free) x2 No-no, not the above Now the true love is so cruel
