A
Bullfighter, Bullfighter, I’ve dreamt to meet you all my life
I’ve worked day and day to watch you dance, night after night Bullfighter, Bullfighter, I’ve come to beg you for a chance Though I am young, I know I was born to hold the cape in my hands
B
I see the women, and how they flock around you Each one at your word to lay beside you
A
My Friend, My Friend, the stars are bright in your eyes
But, know that they will leave you blind and take from you your life In the ring I am hero, when the crowds calls my name
But, if I were to fall dead is dead all the same
Don’t take my words lightly. Let them fall on you like wine Come to my dance tomorrow, let me know how you decide
B
You’ll see the women, all gathered around me Each one at my word to lay beside me
A
Bullfighter, Bullfighter, ten thousand chant your name
All standing in ovation for the biggest bull they’ve seen Black as the sky above him, full of anger full of pain Wild, bucking, throwing mud his head bowed taking aim Bullfighter, Bullfighter, he spins to pull away
By the time he turns to face his fans, his hands cling to his waist Blood pouring through his fingers, stars dying in his eyes
A final blow caves his skull, to take from him his life
His crowd in tears of heartbreak for their hero lying still The bull he runs out the gate, dancing through the hills
B
But the women, they still talk about him Each one at his word, would’ve laid beside him

Rose Garden

A
We walk alone in the old rose garden
Through the flowers we keep our hands tied
I offer kindly my sympathy as you tell me your true heart lies
B
Back home, Back home, where the sun falls soft at your door
A
It’s not only you, I feel it too
Though today is bluebird and shining
Tomorrow may bring the storms of spring, by my next breath I’ll be pining
B
For home, for home, where the sun falls soft at your door
C
And in our going on I think back on the days that we’ve been morning Laying out for the crows to eat the flesh from our bones
Now it’s hard to forget why we’re running
B
From home, from home, where the sun falls soft at your door From home, from home, where the sun falls soft at your door

A
I can see the lighting across the canyons Dusty winds moving in and blowing up a storm Days of hoping for the sky to open
I can’t keep waiting my anticipation’s worn
B
I’ll be long gone, tires burning off the line Leaving nothing but screaming smoke for miles behind The only way I’ve found to outrun my racing mind My heart is with the highway, no truer love I’ll find
A
These arms around me will soon be falling empty Morning’s coming quickly, I’ll be leaving soon It’s not that I don’t want you, I’ll be back eventually But, I can only hold off until around about noon
B
Then I’ll be gone, tires burning off the line Leaving nothing but screaming smoke for miles behind The only way I’ve found to outrun my racing mind My heart is with the highway, no truer love I’ll find
A
Through the window I’m watching the colors changing The golden hills rolling through the evergreen
The sun is falling for a new moon rising
As where I am starts fading to everything I’ve seen
B
I’m always gone, tires burning off the line Leaving nothing, but screaming smoke for miles behind The only way I’ve found to outrun my racing mind My heart is on the highway, no truer love I’ll find

Crow

A
Black crow flying low Through the Willow, through the snow Flying low on the wind Storms have got you falling again
B
Go on home and eat some flowers Eat some flowers, and fall asleep
A
Follow the river’s whine
By the morning you’ll feel alright You’ll feel alright in the morning light Warm your eyelids, forget tonight
B
Go on home and eat some flowers Eat some flowers and fall asleep
C
Before too long your wings will wear Your beak will break your feathers tear When it’s too late you’ll finally see Dying’s part of the life we lead
B
Go on home and eat some flowers Eat some flowers and fall asleep Go on home and fall asleep
