La Collaboratione Dei Due 3

LONE STAR SERENADE

I.
UNDER THE SLIVER MOON (UP) ON  ZILKER’S HILL
A SOFT WIND BLEW ACROSS THE RIDGE,
BOBBING TO WAVES OF GUITARS AND  BANDS
VOICES RISING TO THE CI TY  LINE

II.
MY HEART IS  DANCING WILD … MY SOUL’S RENEWED
LIKE THE BiRTH OF A FRESH SWEET NEW YEAR
I UTTER GOSPEL WORDS AND SING SWEET HARMONIES
IN THE SKY WHERE MY BOYS DRINK AND FLY

Chorus
I’VE SPENT ALL MY MONEY AND DRANK ALL MY WINE
AND I KNOW IT’S TIME TO MOVE ON
YET THE BAND IS STILL PLAYING AND THE DRUMMER’S IN TIME
THERE’S NO TELLING HOW FAR I’VE GONE

III.
ROCK ISLAND’S COLD RELIEF ON A HOT SUMMER DAY
I SEARCH TO ELUDE (THE) PIERCING SUN
HUMAN SEA SWARMS AROUND ME THERE IS NO ESCAPE
SOUNDS COMING FROM EACH AND EVERY ONE

Chorus
I’VE SPENT ALL MY MONEY AND DRANK ALL MY WINE
AND I KNOW IT’S TIME TO MOVE ON
YET THE BAND IS STILL PLAYING AND THE DRUMMER’S IN TIME
THERE’S NO TELLING HOW FAR I’VE GONE

IV – INSTRUMENTAL VERSE

Bridge
IT’S BEEN A LONE STAR SERENADE THERE’S NO END IN SIGHT
OLD ELSTON GRUNT SLEEPS UNTIL NOON
THE HEAT OF CITY FILLS THE TOWN LAKE BAR
WILL HIS VOICE CLEAR ANYTIME SOON?

Chorus
