Linda Ronstadt : We Ran

Тексты песен


1. WHEN WE RAN

Could have been the kiss of my life
Could have been the death of me
Coulda been that I was just too scared
To wait around and see

You coulda been a guardian angel
I coulda been the wicked one
Besides the buttons on our shirts
What else did we leave undone

When we ran
When we ran
When we ran
Was it just the time slipping through our hands
Right through our hands

Maybe I was trying to tell you
I've never known a love so strong
Maybe in the shadows of the night
We just couldn't tell right from wrong

Maybe it's a real life story
Living with a sad regret
Maybe you were just a sweet dream baby
Something that I'll never forget

When we ran
When we ran
When we ran
Was it just the time slipping through our hands

You only had to say the words
I would have turned around and heard
But as it is we can't look back

The mind is just a loose cannon baby
And the memories are rolling dice
We found something one time baby
But we thought about it twice

And we ran
And we ran
And we ran
And we ran
And we ran
And we ran


2. IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND

We said we'd walk together baby come what may
There come the twilight should we lose our way
If as we're walking hands should slip free
I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind wait for me

We swore we'd travel darling side by side
And we'd help each other stay in stride
Each lover's steps fall so differently
So I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind wait for me

Everyone dreams of love lasting and true
But you and I know what this world can do
Let's make our steps clear that the other may see
And I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind wait for me

Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead
And there 'neath the oak's bough soon we'll be wed
Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees
I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind wait for me

Darling I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind wait for me
Darling I'll wait for you


3. GIVE ME A REASON

Just give me a reason why we fuss and fight
Give me a reason why I have to spend these lonely nights
Is there a reason why you fall for other girls
When I thought I was the number one baby in your world

Give me a reason why you make me cry
Is there a reason why I have to spend these lonely nights
Tell me the reason why you tour around the world
And why in god's name you want to make me into your clown

Even though baby you did me wrong now baby
The feeling inside of me baby is so strong
I've tried in a million ways to make you happy
But I keep on wondering do you love me

Give me a reason
I need a reason
Is there a reason

If I give you the chance I know you would leave me now baby
After all we've been through, our plans about tomorrow
You've broken my heart, baby, you've ruined my soul
Is there a chance for me, tell me or let me go

Give me a reason why we fuss and fight
Is there a reason why I have to spend these lonely nights
Tell me the reason why you fall for other girls
When I thought I was the number one baby in your world

Just give me a reason why you make me cry
Is there a reason why I have to spend these lonely nights
Is there a reason why you tour around the world
And why in god's name do you make me into your clown


4. RULER OF MY HEART

Ruler of my heart
Driver of my soul
Where can you be
I wait patiently

My heart cries out
Pain inside
Where can you be
I wait patiently

When you're alone
The going gets rough
Come back, come back, come back
I've had enough

Make me a queen
Happy again
Hear my plea
I wait patiently

Ruler of my heart
Driver of my soul

When you're alone
The going gets rough
Come back, come back, come back
I've had enough

Make me a queen
Happy again
Hear my plea
I wait patiently

Ooh ooh ummh

Ruler of my heart
Driver of my soul
Ooh ooh ooh

Ruler of my heart
Driver of my soul


5. JUST LIKE TOM THUMB´S BLUES

When you're lost in the rain in Juarez and it's Eastertime too
And your gravity fails and negativity won't pull you through
Don't put on any airs when you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue
They got some hungry women there and they'll really make a mess out of you

Well if you see Saint Annie please tell her thanks a lot
I cannot move and my fingers they are all in a knot
I don't have the strength to get up and take another shot
And my best friend the doctor won't even say what it is I got

Sweet Melinda, the peasants call her the goddess of gloom
She speaks good English and she invites you up into her room
And you're so kind and careful not to go to her too soon
And she takes your voice and she leaves you howling at the moon

Well up on housing project hill it's either fortune or fame
You must pick one or the other though neither of them are to be what they claim
And if you're looking to get silly you better go back to from where you came
Because the cops don't need you and man they expect the same

Now all the authorities they just stand around and boast
How they blackmailed the sergeant-at-arms into leaving his post
And picking up Angel who just arrived here from the coast
Who looked so fine at first and she left looking just like a ghost

Well I started out on burgundy but soon hit the harder stuff
Everybody said they'd stand beside me when the game got rough
But the joke was on me there was nobody even there to bluff
I'm going back to New York City I do believe I've had enough


6. CRY ´TIL MY TEARS RUN DRY

Here it is again
Friday night
Everyone is laughing
Carrying on
Going out
Having a ball
But I stay at home
Waiting by a phone that never rings
Surrounded by memories and all your things

Yes I'm gonna cry
Oh yes I'm gonna cry
Yes I'm gonna cry
Oh yes I'm gonna cry
'Til my tears run dry

I know that you're out
Having fun
Cheatin' on me
Telling pretty lies
Making her promises now
You don't think of me
You don't care about what's happening here
Every time you kiss her I cry a tear

Yes I'm gonna cry
Oh yes I'm gonna cry
Yes I'm gonna cry
Oh yes I'm gonna cry
'Til my tears run dry

You don't think of me
You don't care about what's happening here
Every time you kiss her I cry a tear

Yes I'm gonna cry
Oh yes I'm gonna cry
Yes I'm gonna cry
Oh yes I'm gonna cry
'Til my tears run dry
Yes I yes I'm gonna cry


7. I GO TO PIECES

I've been wrong
I've been of no use
I wander these streets alone
Heard every excuse
I go to pieces
Why don't you
Get carried away
I go to pieces
Why don't you

I've know all about
The pain I've caused you
I wish I could run away
What else can I do
Cause I go to pieces
Why don't you
Stick in my side
I go to pieces
Why don't you
Hear anything that I say
Watching you drifting away

I've known all about
Love I've refused
I tried to hide you away
Ain't no use
I go to pieces
Why don't you
Know what it means
I go to pieces
Why don't you
Get carried away
I go to pieces
Why don't you
Why don't you
Why don't you


8. HEARTBREAK KIND

Lying alone at night
Listen to the rain that's falling down
You're calling out your baby's name
Ah but she just ain't around
Sleep don't come at all
You can't ease a troubled mind
Yeah they call it love
Ah but it's the heartbreak kind

Rumors whispered low
There's been talk around the town
Phone don't ring no more
Friends they say don't come around
Suspicion running high
But she says everything's just fine
She tells you that it's love
Ah but it's the heartbreak kind

There's darkness all around
As the evening shadows fall
Time keeps dragging by
But she ain't coming home at all
You tell yourself she still cares
But pretty soon you're gonna find
You thought it was a lasting love
Ah but it's the heartbreak kind
You thought it was a lasting love
Ah but it's the heartbreak kind


9. DAMAGE

I wasn't ready
I gave myself to you
Look at the damage
See what you put me through
I don't want to do what you want me to anymore
I won't feel better 'til I'm walking out of that door

Once you could stop me
Now I can say you won't
I will be going
I'm just afraid I don't
Know how I'm gonna get away from you
And I know I'm never gonna stay with you
Don't want to ever spend another day with you
Look at the damage you've done
Two can turn back into one

You hurt me so much
You'll never do that again
It's time to leave you
This has to come to an end
But I don't know how I'm gonna get away from you
And I know I'm never gonna stay with you
Don't think there's any other way to say to you
Look at the damage you've done
Look at the damage
Look at the damage
Look at the damage you've done
Two can turn back into one
Woah oh
Woah oh
Oh I know
Yes I know
Talking to you


10. ICY BLUE HEART

She came on to him like a slow moving cold front
His beer was warmer than the look in her eye
She sat on a stool he said "what do you want"
She said "give me a love that don't freeze up inside"

He said I have melted some hearts in my time dear
But to sit next to you, lord I shiver and shake
And if I knew love, don't think I'd be here
Asking myself if I have what it takes

To melt your icy blue heart
Should I start
To turn what's been frozen for years
Into a river of tears

These days we all play cool calm and collected
Why, our lips could turn blue shootin' the breeze
But under the frost thought he detected
A warm blush of red and a touch of her knees

He said girl you've a beauty like I've never witnessed
And I've seen the northern lights dance in the air
But I've felt the cold follow the first kiss
And there's not enough heat in the fire burning there

To melt your icy blue heart
Should I start
To turn what's been frozen for years
Into a river of tears

To melt your icy blue heart
Should I start
To turn what's been frozen for years
Into a river of tears


11. DREAMS OF THE SAN JOAQUIN

I'm sending you some money
I wish it could be more
But it's harder than I thought
To find the work I came here for

This place is just as pretty
As I pictured it to be
But a man in need of work's
An all too common sight to see

Each morning as the trucks roll in
A lucky few climb on
And the rest of us are left to wonder
Where the dream has gone
Where the dream has gone

They say the Sierra melts with the rain
To race through the valley like blood through the vein
Turning the lowland from golden to green
To harvest forever the dreams of the San Joaquin

Every day I struggle
With the distance and the fear
That I will not return
Or find a way to bring you here

My emptiness grows deeper
I feel my spirit fall
As night comes like a blanket
It brings no sleep at all

I only hope that time will find
A way to work things out
We will be together
In the life we dream about
Life we dream about

They say the Sierra melts with the rain
To race through the valley like blood through the vein
Turning the lowland from golden to green
To harvest forever the dreams of the San Joaquin
We'll harvest forever the dreams of the San Joaquin
