I saw the news this morning And saw your face across the screen And as I poured my coffee, I picked up a magazine But as I turned the page And looked inside There you were again (there you were) Oh these lonely times

I'm born to love again I'm a brand new man By the fire in your touch and the flame in your eyes I saw the light, I've been baptized Woah, I saw the light, I've been baptized Well the whole town's talking 'Bout the line I've been walking That leads right

The creature lives I saw the creature fall Into the swamp from which he spawned I heard them laugh and say They never liked him anyway I tried to talk to them To help you on your feet again They laughed and said to me The swamp is right where I should be

Jenny so shy Your heart beats quick and strong Your mind pores over it all Don't worry because no one saw me fall Throw the knife into the stream

I'm drowning in solitude again No, this won't kill me In my dreams last night I saw your face You held me and washed away my tears Then I woke to realize you're gone This won't kill me Pull these scars off my eyes Lost from the world

In Cabo, Cabo San Lucas Girl the last time you saw me I wasn't this cool And I'm hangin' out in Mexico down by the pool If I send you a ticket would you fly in? I'd sure like to see you we could hook up again I know it sounds crazy, but I bought a guitar

I'm just waiting on the wild sun And I saw my friends, and I saw my friends Maybe we can wake the dogs tonight Maybe we can see the morning light Maybe everyone can go to hell Maybe I don't need your calls for help Again, I'm your friend Crash and tumble

I never saw the gal again Just dig my grave beside the railroad So I can hear the trains go by (Traditional, adapted by Ry Cooder) Come and gather all around me Listen to my tale of woe Got some good advice to give you Lots of things you oughta know Take

I should've said something Whoa oh oh oh So we board up the windows we used to look through Yeah, I should've said something to you I should've said something to you When I saw you walk away Instead, I did nothing You're gone and it's too late

It's the beginning of forever Keep doing it, and doing it again, oh Soon as I saw you, baby, I had plans Then we'll change, change the world So after you change your clothes Girl, if you change your mind I'm ready, whatever time You don't have to go
