I never know what kind of day it's been on my battlefield of ideals But the way she touches and the way it feels, must be just how it heals And it's got a little better since I let her sundance
I never know what time of year it is living on top of the fire But the robin outside has to hunt and hide in the cold and frosty shire Ah but he knows just what goes in between his cold toes and his warm ears And he's got no disguise in his eyes for his love as she nears
He spreads her a shelter She takes the tall skies As they helter skelter Along the same sighs
She wakes my days with a glad face She fakes and says I'm a hard case She makes and plays like a bad ace Carrying my ways into scarred space And she knows me well Ah but what the hell Only time can tell, where we're going to
Me and my woman
And the Lord speaks out and the pigpens fawn The sword slides out and the nations mourn The hoard strides out and the chosen spawn The devil rides out and the heavens yawn And he knows me well Only time can tell, Only time can tell, where we're going to
Me and my woman
What a lovely day What a day to play at living What a mess we make What a trust we break Not giving our wings to our children O how we fail them O how we nail them
Am at 5th fret Sunset my colour And king is my name Darkness my lover And we live in shame
Too far away From the light of the day And so near, and so here Can i break through the silence that has taken my place On the plains of the morning that i just could not face
Asking you these questions telling you these lies Enveloping directions Developing disguise Open to suggestions But closed to all my eyes Dead on arrival, right where I stand Space is just an ashtray Flesh is my best wheel The atmosphere's my highway And the landscape's my next meal I need my own Good Friday And I'm trying to fix the deal Dead on arrival, right where I stand I am the new crowned landlord Of all beneath my star Queuing up for doomsday In my homesick motor car Born before my mother Died before my Pa Dead on arrival, right where I stand
And the cuckoo she moves through the dawn fanfare The dew leaves the rooves in the magic air I feel a finger running through my nightmares lair I feel most together with my nowhere stare and you know me well Ah but what the hell Only time can tell, where we're going to
