Lucinda

Well they call me William the Pleaser I sold opium, fireworks and lead Now I'm telling my troubles to strangers When the shadows get long I be dead Now her hair was as black as a bucket of tar Her skin as white as a cuttlefish bone I left Texas to follow Lucinda Now I'll never see heaven or home I meet her when Charlotte slivers in moonlight A sly grin and a bow full of stars I got a kid who captures a firefly And leaves it over there to die at the shore As I kick at the clowns at my hanging As I swing out all over the crowds I will search every face for Lucinda And she'll go off with me down the hill I tought I'd broke loose of Lucinda Rain returned and so did the wind I cast this burden on the God's that's within me Now he'll miss (?!) the world and go free The devil danced inside empty pockets But she didn't want money or pearls Boy that wasn't enought for Lucinda She wasn't that kind of girl Now I've fallen from grace for Lucinda Who'd ever tought that Hell would be so cold? I did well for an old tin can sailor But she want it the bell in my soul I spoken to God on the mountain And I've swam in the irish sea I've ate fire and drank from the Gange I've played bell for mercy for me I tought I'd broke loose of Lucinda Rain returned and so did the wind I was standing outside the white house And there I was afraid to go in I heard someone pull the trigger Her breast heaved in the moonlight (??) again There was a smear of gold in the window And then I was the (???) of her sin They call me William the Pleaser I sold opium, fireworks and lead Now I'm telling my troubles to strangers When the shadows get long I be dead Now her hair was as black as a bucket of tar Her skin as white as a cuttlefish bone I left Texas to follow Lucinda I know I'll never see heaven or home No I'll never see heaven or home No I'll never never see heaven or home
