About Me
...........Just As Long As You Arrive....B.King/J.L.Perry.........I've been waiting forever.
I can wait forevermore.
I'll just sit here and feel it,
till my feelings get sore.~~~
The crow tried to tell me,
but I didn't understand..
said if I ever felt TRUE love,
It could kill me where I stand.~~~
There is no running water.
No works of fiction or fact.
They tried the Quarter-Back-Sneak..
it got the Quarter-back sacked.~~~
They arrived quite early this morning,
without a single, muttered word.
No news of my Mother,
I hope her wayward mind is cured.~~~
She's been hearing all of them voices.
Eating all of them pills.
Marrying strong men,
who hit her hard but pay the bills.~~~
This station's gloom is familiar.
Didn't we meet here before?
Singing "Jesus loved the leper,
just as Jesus loved the whore."~~~
St. Francis wants to meet you.
He's seen you in all of my prayers.
His laugh makes me so nervous,
but I know how desperately he cares.~~~
It puts Hell in my heart, mama..
to know that I've made you cry..
and now I don't care if you arrive late, love,
just as long as you arrive.~~~
There's no advice to be taken.
No worn path you can walk.
But wait too long for your wishes....
and they'll be outlined in chalk.~~~
There is no promise I can make you.
There are no guarantees.
But I won't just fight the inevitable,
until one of us flees.~~~
I took your warning too lightly.
I got the old Monk high.
Now there's death on the highway
and I forgot how to cry.~~~
The thought of you starts me shaking,
but at least I know I'm alive.
I don't care if it kills me.
Some part of me will survive.~~~
I can't take all that you show me.
Don't like some things that I see.
But your love is my light, babe.
The only light there for me.~~~
I got troubles a plenty.
You've got your troubles too.
But it's only for your touch,
that I could ever be true.~~~The lying mind: I murdered.
His mistresses, I bribed.
Now I don't care if you arrive late, love..
just as long as you arrive.~~~I've been coming through slaughter....
with the reins clenched in my teeth.
The horses died in the canyon.
My guides, they died in their sleep.~~~
Maybe I died when I met you..
and now I'm only your ghost.
Haunting every last raindrop..
on the gold, miraculous Coast.~~~
The seige is relentless.
The enemy: un-bowed.
Our promise, not broken,
is all that we have allowed.~~~
We're not always so wretched...
but this place brings it right out.
Right out in the open.
Out there for all things to doubt.~~~
This ain't the first time I've fallen.
But it's the first time it's stuck.
Maybe my Sun has stopped setting.
Maybe I'm pushing my luck.~~~
I see your eyes everywhere, dear..
gazing from some distant time.
Maybe that time we were lovers.
Maybe that time you were mine.~~~
They're building on grim speculation.
The empty prisons just wait.
Tell your boozy-breath-Priest,
to keep his hands off your plate.~~~
Ask no more of the doubter.
She wants now only to sleep.
If it's at all worth going,
it's worth going that deep.~~~
Too many nails in the coffin.
The lid is on now for good.
She only said she could love him,
she never said that she would.~~~
You want to be upright and singing,
If we're going to do this thing.
Stronger than the hollow vows,
stronger than the ring.~~~
We've got to be Geronimo-brave, love.
Be packed and ready to go.
Lest we see only the shadows,
of love's holy glow.~~~
If the truth is worth anything,
anything more than a dare.
then the truth is, I love you
and I will always be there.~~~
Be there scars on your soul mama.
Be there stars in your eyes.
There are always exceptions,
Not every sleeping heart lies.~~~
You've always been so strong.
You just hide it so well.
But I deciphered the message,
from the walls of your cell.~~~
You may not like my methods.
Their madness steals all your breath.
You think this plot may still kill me,
but I don't care about death.~~~
I know there are pastures of plenty.
Your soul is suspecting it too..
and now it's hard to make your heart keep doing,
something it don't want to do.~~~
The truth will tear you wide open.
But the trip is surely worth the fall...
if any of this whole mad trip..
is worth anything at all.~~~
I've know joy, pain and pleasure.
Measured many maidens charms..
but it all lost it's meaning,
once I'd danced in your arms.~~~
I know that I wasn't dreaming.
At least, I'm not anymore.
I'm lost in the truth, baby.
I've never been here before.~~~I saw the whole messy story.
It seemed a little contrived.
Now I don't care if you arrive late, love..
just as long as you arrive.~~~Baby, everybody loses.
Baby, everybody grieves.
There's a place without doubt...
it's just so hard to believe.~~~
I've won, lost and wondered,
what the whole, ugly game meant.
They all live hard in dellusion.
For fun they sin and repent.~~~
Their words all are empty.
Their lessons rob you of years.
They've got apologies for everything
When that fails, they have tears.~~~
The world is much bigger,
than a few broken hearts.
There's a train at the station,
and soon my love, it departs.~~~
I got a ticket this morning.
O.K., I got two...
guess I don't mind being foolish,
If I am foolish for you.~~~
The Sun's been up for hours
but everyone's still asleep.
Except for my wounded neighbor,
through the walls I hear her weep.~~~
The night left precious reminders,
of how lucky I was to survive.
Now I don't care if you arrive late, love,
just as long as you arrive.~~~
