In the twilight glow i see her
Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again

Love is like a dying ember
And only memories remain
And through the ages i'll remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain.

Someday when we meet

Well, he rode into Blue Rock, dusty an' tired,
An' got him a room for the night.
He lay there in silence with too much on his mind.
Still hopin' that he was not right.

But he found them that evenin' at a tavern in town,
In a quiet little out of the way place.
An' they s

Can I sleep in your arms, tonight, lady?
It's so cold lyin' here all alone.
An' I have no hold to hold on you.
An', I assure you, I'll do you no wrong.

Don't know why, but the one I love left me.

And I need someone's arms to hold me.

The bright lights of Denver are shinin' like diamonds.
Like ten thousand jewels in the sky.
An' it's nobody's business where you're goin' or where you come from.
An' you're judged by the look in your eye.
She saw him, that evenin' in a tavern in town.
In a quiet little out of

At a time when the world seems to be spinnin' hopelessly out of control,
There's deceivers an' believers an' old in-betweeners,

Well, it's the same old song, it's right an' it's wrong,
An' livin' is just somethin' that I do.
An' with no place

Well, last night I came home an' I knocked on my door,
An' I called to my love as I oft had before.
An' I knocked an' I knocked: no answer thee came.
No kisses to greet me or voice call my name.

An' I couldn't believe it was true, oh Lord.

The red-headed stranger from Blue Rock, Montana,
Rode into town one day.
And under his knees was a ragin' black stallion,
And walkin' behind was a bay.

And his lips, they were sad and tight.
His little lost love lay aslee

You told me once you were mine, alone, forever,
An' I was yours till the end of eternity.
But all those vows are broken now an' I will never,
Be the same except in memory.

Remember me when the candle lights are gleamin'.
Remember me at the close of a long, long day.

It was the time of the preacher when the story began.
Of the choice of a lady and the love of a man.
How he loved her so dearly, he went out of his mind.
When she left him for someone, she'd left behind.

An' he cried like a baby;

In a tired part of the city
Hiding from the fast talk
Watch 'Don't walk' to 'Walk'
Easy when you're dreaming
Staring at the movies
Standing in a circle,
Laughing at the wrong time.

If alcohol could take me there.
I'd take a shot a minute
