"Adiós" lyrics
"Adiós"
(originally by Jimmy Webb)
Ran away from home when I was seventeen
To be with you on the California coast
Drinking margaritas all night in the old cantina
Out on the California coast
Don't think that I'm ungrateful
And don't look so morose
Adios, adios
We never really made it baby
But we came pretty close
Adios, adios
Going up north where the hills are winter green
I got to leave you on the California coast
Going where the water's clear and the air is cleaner
Than the California Coast
Our dreams of endless summers
Were just too grandiose
Adios, adios
And I'll miss the blood red sunset
But I'll miss you the most
Adios, adios
Adios, adios
Adios, adios

Working til the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier...
Gerry Rafferty - "Don't Speak Of My Heart" Don't speak of my heart, it hurts too much -- hurts to touch
I'm writing the book each and every day
Take a look at my face, I still need -- I still bleed
I've been running on empty since you went...
Art Garfunkel - "Bright Eyes" Is it a kind of dream
Floating out on the tide
Following the river of death downstream
Oh, is it a dream?
There's a fog along the horizon
A strange glow in the sky
And nobody seems to know where you...
Townes Van Zandt - "Buckskin Stallion Blues" I heard her sing in tongues of silver
I heard her cry on a summer storm
I loved her, but she did not know it
So I don't think about her anymore
Now she's gone, and I can't believe it
So I don't think...
Bobbie Gentry - "Ode To Billie Joe" It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day
I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin' hay
And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat
And Mama hollered...
