| [00:01.12] |
music |
| [00:17.49] |
With your mercury mouth in the missionary times |
| [00:33.97] |
And your eyes like smoke and your prayers like rhymes |
| [00:38.11] |
And your silver cross, and your voice like chimes |
| [00:44.51] |
Oh, who do they think could bury you ? |
| [00:51.61] |
With your pockets well protected at last |
| [00:59.81] |
And your streetcar visions which you place on the grass |
| [01:11.70] |
And your flesh like silk, And you face like glass |
| [01:16.75] |
Who among them do they think could carry you ? |
| [01:25.92] |
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands |
| [01:33.30] |
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes |
| [01:43.87] |
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums |
| [01:55.43] |
Should I put them by your gate |
| [02:02.63] |
Oh, sad-eyed lady, should I wait ? |
| [02:08.09] |
|
| [02:13.38] |
With your sheets like metal and your belt like lace |
| [02:20.61] |
And your deck of cards missing the jack and the ace |
| [02:30.90] |
And your basement clothes and your hollow face |
| [02:34.92] |
Who among them can think he could outguess you ? |
| [02:44.71] |
With your silhouette when the sunlight dims |
| [02:56.19] |
Into your eyes where the moonlight swims |
| [03:03.84] |
And your match-book songs and your gypsy hymns |
| [03:11.38] |
Who among them would try to impress you ? |
| [03:20.67] |
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands |
| [03:27.88] |
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes |
| [03:37.40] |
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums |
| [03:51.28] |
Should I put them by your gate |
| [03:58.48] |
Oh, sad-eyed lady, should I wait ? |
| [04:01.55] |
|
| [04:06.36] |
The kings of Tyrus with their convict list |
| [04:15.39] |
Are waiting in line for their geranium kiss |
| [04:22.36] |
And you wouldn't know it would happen like this |
| [04:30.04] |
But who among them really wants just to kiss you ? |
| [04:39.12] |
With your childhood flames on your midnight rug |
| [04:48.38] |
And your Spanish manners, and your mother's drugs |
| [04:55.78] |
And your cowboy mouth and your curfew plugs |
| [05:03.53] |
Who among them do you think could resist you ? |
| [05:13.28] |
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands |
| [05:23.30] |
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes |
| [05:30.90] |
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums |
| [05:44.82] |
Should I leave them by your gate |
| [05:51.52] |
Oh, sad-eyed lady, should I wait ? |
| [05:59.26] |
Oh, the farmers and the businessmen they all did decide |
| [06:06.80] |
To show you the dead angels that they used to hide |
| [06:15.15] |
But why did they pick you to sympathize with their side ? |
| [06:23.24] |
How could they ever mistake you ? |
| [06:31.96] |
They wished you'd accepted the blame for the farm |
| [06:47.04] |
But with the sea at your feet and the phony false alarm |
| [06:48.90] |
And with the child of a hoodlum wrapped up in your arms |
| [06:58.70] |
How could they ever, ever persuade you ? |
| [07:05.55] |
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands |
| [07:13.35] |
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes |
| [07:22.79] |
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums |
| [07:34.77] |
Should I leave them by your gate |
| [07:42.36] |
Oh, sad-eyed lady, should I wait ? |
| [07:47.57] |
|
| [07:51.88] |
With your sheet-metal memory of Cannery Row |
| [07:58.91] |
And your magazine-husband who one day just had to go |
| [08:13.14] |
And your gentleness now, which you just can't help but show |
| [08:16.57] |
Who among them do you think would employ you ? |
| [08:24.94] |
Now you stand with your thief, you're on his parole |
| [08:31.95] |
With your holy medallion which your fingertips fold |
| [08:42.77] |
And your saintlike face and your ghostlike soul |
| [08:52.87] |
Who among them do you think could destroy you ? |
| [08:58.44] |
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands |
| [09:10.91] |
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes |
| [09:16.00] |
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums |
| [09:28.00] |
Should I leave them by your gate |
| [09:34.92] |
Oh, sad-eyed lady, should I wait ? |
| [09:43.39] |
