Lyrics
Oh my sweet darlin'
On a broken mule I'm coming home
With years of fading beauty
I'll try not to take too long
I miss lullabies of Dixie
And rusty guns
And the Camponelli dancing thieves
Of love undone
Well this circus
Has blown our reunion
And I'm lying here in the dust
Wrapped in confusion
Suicide jugglers
Breathing fire
Fall away to the carnival trains
And wave... good-bye
And she says "I want you and you alone"
And he says "I'm comin' home"
My skin is burnin'
Sand in my teeth
And the earth is rumbling
Underneath these tired feet
The lights cast shadows
Like monsters in grey
And I just called to let you know baby
I ain't coming back...the same way
And she says "I want you and you alone"
And he says "I'm comin' home"
And all I want to do is hold you baby
And all I want to do is hold you...
I'll love you baby
I love you now
I'll love you baby
Forever Somehow
Forever Somehow
Forever Somehow
