ANDERSEN, Eric
You can’t relive the past
What's said is said, what's done is done
You can't relive the past
The water's blown and so's the bridge
You can't relive the past
Memory runs right by your eyes
So real and so fast
The dam is burst, the acid's spilt
You can't relive the past
…..
The dam is burst, the acid's spilt
You can't relive the past
I sat beauty on my knees
You can't relive the past
I ran my guns for Robert E. Lee
You can't relive the past
One lesson learned from poetry
You can't hide behind your mask
No mask could hide your liberty
You can't relive the past
…..
You can't relive the past
You can't relive the past
No mask could hide your liberty
You can't relive the past
Thirsty Boots
You've long been on the open road
You been sleepin' in the rain
From dirty words and muddy cells
Your clothes are soiled and stained
But the dirty words and the muddy cells
Will soon be hid in shame
So only stop to rest yourself and you'll go off again
So take off your thirsty boots
And stay for awhile
Your feet are hot and weary
From a dusty mile
And maybe I can make you laugh
And maybe I can try
I'm just lookin' for the evenin'
And the mornin' in your eyes
Then tell me of the ones you saw
As far as you could see
Across the plains from field to town
A-marchin' to be free
And of the rusted prison gates that tumble by degree
Like laughing children one by one
They look like you and me
Come to my bedside, my darling
Come to my bedside, my darling.
Come over here and close the door.
Won't you lay your body soft and close beside me
And drop your petticoat upon the floor
I waited for you, oh, such a long time.
I tried to grow and be a better man.
If you knew your love has made one poor heart wealthy
Though my clothes may lay tattered in your hand.
Your breast has told my ear life's golden secrets.
Your back has shown my fingers endless groans.
Your lips have whispered wisdom that is timeless
About life and death and things I'd never known.
Your eyes are bluer than the mountain waters.
Your hair is flowin' dark and flowin' long.
Your skin has more gold than a morning sunrise.
It is softer than the breeze of a summer's dawn.
I miss you more with every passin' sunset.
I plan a plan on every new day born.
No, words cannot describe one thing I'm sure of,
That it's in my lovin' arms that you belong.
Violets of Dawn
Take me to the night I'm tippin’
topsy turvy turning upside down
Hold me tight and whisper what you wish
For there is no one here around
Oh you may sing song me sweet smiles
Regardless of the city's careless frown
Come watch the no colors fade blazing
Into pedal sprays of Violets of Dawn
In blindful wonderments enchantments
You can lift my wings softly to fly
Your eyes are like swift fingers reaching out
Into the pockets of my night
Whirling twirling puppy warm
before the flashing cloaks of darkness gone
Come see the no colors fade blazing
Into petal sprays of Violets of Dawn
Some prince charming I'll be
On Two white steeds to bring you diamond crowns
And climb your tower sleeping beauty
Before you ever know I've left the ground
You can wear a Cinderella, Snowwhite,
Alice Wonderland gown
Come watch the no colors fade blazing
Into petal sprays of Violets of Dawn
But if I seem to wander off in dream like looks
Please let me settle slowly
It's only me just staring out at you
A seeming stranger speaking holy
No, I don't mean to wake you up
it's only lonliness just coming on
So let the no colors fade blazing
into petal sprays Of Violets Of Dawn
Like shadows bursting into mist
Behind the echoes of this nonsense song
It's just chasing whispering trail
Of secret steps, oh see them laughing on
There's magic in the sleepiness of waking
to a childish sounding yawn
Come watch the no colors fade blazing
Into petal sprays of Violets of Dawn
