Do listen to the words I tell It's the least you can for me I've lent my ear to a thousand men And women as they please But now I wish it for my own To have a voice be heard My heart it will now be hurled As my thoughts begin to leave If the lord above or fire below Came knocking to your porch Pounding on the old front door And asking for little much A breath of air stale and cold You're now his only friend Look out for his stealing eyes Or you'll end up just like him The drinks upon the table flew And crashed down in his seat A sad young man smiling He could fool you with his grin Twelve long years and a dozen more Held underneath his belt But that's about all he had At the bottom of his cup Now picture this if you can Try your very best Imagine your favorite silver screen And think of it with this A tale of many a tale of few Lost of harmony But can you find another smile As your eyes begin to weep In the woods and in the desert Life begins to howl But even in the growling Peace and love are found Many moons together And hopes of many more Through winter and the summer Their home was where they were The coyote he calls for her His darling little one But she got held up by a man Who carried a dark shotgun He stood between the lover's eyes I couldn't imagine worse But when he pulled the trigger No paws or feet there stood These words I told are not my fault I'm not the one to blame If you did listen to them straight You won't hold them to my name If sorrow catches your goodbye And hesitation grows Maybe you shouldn't leave But maybe you should go
