My dreams of love have all been stolen,
like thieves in the night, they've gone away -
and what was once alive and golden,
has vanished in the dark, in some strange way.
...
I could love you, if you let me,
I could woo you, if you agree;
I could whisper words of love,
You could count and trust in me.
...
Ridng, through the trees of Echo Valley,
Tired horse, empty guns, got a bundle to carry -
Riding, though the trees...
Hear them, can't you hear them coyotes howling?
...
Do you think the end of the world is coming soon,
or are they all singing looney tunes?
The cults are preaching right and left, high and low,
to anyone that'll listen, all you need's a little dough.
...
I'm sending you away,
I don't care, where you go -
Just vanish from my sight,
Your a cataract, you know.
...
There was a time I loved you,
Seems like a hundred years ago;
There was a time I loved you,
You were beautiful, you know.
...
When you were gone,
I started with the pillows;
Two for the the head,
one for between the knees
...
The next time, will be the best,
I'll love her as I've never loved,
and I'll forget the rest.
...
Please, no teenage giggling and covering of the mouth as if it were contagious.
We love laughter that flows and isn't forced, and a smile that radiates happiness.
We like frank and honest up-front conversation, not the hapless gossip of hen mothers.
We like a kiss that sends love, not a peck that turns love away.
...
I had to go to the mountains, to find rain,
It's absent in these parts;
there's no moisture on this lonely plain,
there's a dryness in our hearts.
...
