When the Deal Goes Down

歌詞

In the still of the night in the world's ancient light Where wisdom grows up in strife My bewildering brain toils in vain Through the darkness on the pathways of life Each invisible prayer is like a cloud in the air Tomorrow keeps turning around We live and we die we know not why But I'll be with you when the deal goes down We eat and we drink we feel and we think Far down the street we stray I laugh and I cry and I'm haunted by Things I never meant nor wished to say The midnight rain follows the train We all wear the same thorny crown Soul to soul our shadows roll And I'll be with you when the deal goes down <♪> Well the moon gives light and it shines by night When I scarcely feel the glow We learn to live and then we forgive O'r the road we're bound to go More frailer than the flowers these precious hours That keep us so tightly bound You come to my eyes like a vision from the skies And I'll be with you when the deal goes down <♪> Well I picked up a rose and it poked through my clothes I followed the winding stream I heard the deafening noise I felt transient joys I know they're not what they seem In this earthly domain full of disappointment and pain You'll never see me frown I owe my heart to you and that's saying it true And I'll be with you when the deal goes down
