Thirty miles out with my head under water, I swam Here I am Somewhere in the middle of heaven and torture, I ran Here I am And I walk alone in the freezing cold My hands go numb and my thoughts get sold My knees grow weak and one thing I know To find myself, I walk alone I walk alone Twelve kilos up on a mountain they said not to climb Here I climb Somewhere between the snow lines and crazy I die Now I fly And I walk alone in the freezing cold My hands go numb and my thoughts get sold My knees grow weak and one thing I know To find myself, I walk alone I walk alone I walk alone I walk alone in the freezing cold My hands go numb and my thoughts get sold My knees grow weak and one thing I know To find myself, I walk I walk alone in the freezing cold My hands go numb and my thoughts get sold My knees grow weak and one thing I know To find myself, I walk alone I walk alone I walk alone I walk alone I walk alone

Is my body mine? Is my body mine? Is my body mine? Is my fear real? Is my fear real? Is my fear real? I check my windows Before I go to sleep Make sure everything is locked Say a sad little prayer That I'll be safe while I sleep Check my glass before I sip Never leave my glass alone Never ever leave my glass alone Is my body mine? Keep a knife by my bed Lay a bat near my head My keys can be a weapon too Just gouge out those eyes My lipstick case contains a switchblade And I can't forget that it's there Don't let myself be a target Don't let myself be a target But I'm no less of a woman if I am I told her he touched me But she just looked the other way What about a woman's search for meaning? I walk alone at night In my dreams I walk alone at night I walk alone at night And the moon lights my path I walk alone at night I'm always searching for you And when I finally find you You'll get what you deserve I walk alone at night I'm always searching for you And when I finally find you You'll get what you deserve Is my body mine? Is my body mine? Is my body mine? Is my fear real? Is my body mine? Is my body mine Is my body mine Is my fear real?

I'll walk alone because to tell you the truth I'll be lonely, I don't mind being lonely when my hear tells me you are lonely too. I'll walk alone, they'll ask me why and Ill tell them I'd rather. There are dreams I must gather, dreams we fashioned the night you held me tight. I'll always be near you wherever you are each night in every prayer. If you call, I'll hear you, no matter how far. Just close your eyes and I'll be there. Please walk alone and send your love and your kisses to guide me Till you're walking beside me, I'll walk alone.

There's a poet in me that remembers And there's an honesty in every word There's a dancer that feels her own beat And there's a daughter who loves There's a sinner in my bones And there's a joker in my head There are secrets in my soul And there are sorries that I have never said But there's a time to dance Time to laugh Time to cry Time to go Time to grieve Time to come Oh, I still got time to cope Time to hope Time to play Time to grow But for now I gotta walk alone I gotta walk alone There's a tight rope that I've been walking There's a daisy in my hair There's a heartbreak that has taught me Of what is raging And there's only love and fear There's a sadness in my confessions There's a hyena howling at the moon And there's a gypsy in me that keeps on roaming And there's a an anger as I get closer to the truth But there's a time to dance Time to laugh Time to cry Time to go Time to grieve Time to come Oh, I still got time to cope Time to hope Time to play Time to grow But for now I gotta walk alone I gotta walk alone I gotta walk alone I've got to walk alone But for now I gotta walk alone Oh, I hear the thunder but I won't back down A soldier marches through the wrong side of town I'm gonna love you until I bleed And that's the story of me I gotta walk alone If they say time is everything There's a time to dance Time to laugh Time to cry Time to go Time to grieve Time to come Oh, I still got time to cope Time to hope Time to play Time to grow But for now I gotta walk alone I've got to walk alone I've got to walk alone I gotta walk alone For now I gotta walk alone

Maybelline, why can't you be true? Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true? You done started back doing the things you used to do Well as I was motivatin' over the hill I saw Maybelline in a coup de ville A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford The cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five Bumper to bumber rollin' side by side Maybelline, why can't you be true? Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true? You've done started back doing the things you used to do Maybelline, why can't you be true? Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true? You've done started back doing the things you used to do The Cadillac moved ti hundred nd four The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more It then got cloudy and it started to rain I tooted my horn for a passin' lead The rain water blowin' all under my hood I knew that was doin' my motor good Maybelline, why can't you be true? Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true? You've done started back doing the things you used to do Maybelline, why can't you be true? Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true? You've done started back doing the things you used to do The motor cooled down, the speed went down And that's when I heard that highway sound The Cadillac a-sittin' like a ton of lead A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead The Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still And I caught Maybelline at the top of the hill Maybelline, why can't you be true? Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true? You've done started back doing the things you used to do (Spoken)

The day that we wed, you blessed us and said "May Heaven bestow you Grace" Here in this Holy place We shared our first embrace Our cottage was small, though richer than all The palaces of a King All day, the birds would sing Our hearts were full of Spring Padre, Padre What happened to the love so true Padre, Padre In my grief, I turn to you Then, he came along and sang her his song And won her with sugered lies He, with the firey eyes Now, it's my heart that cries So, I kneel and pray the hours away And lonely, my heart has grown Wond'ring where love has flown Counting my tears alone Padre, Padre What happened to the love that burned Padre, Padre In my grief, I turn to you ...

North of the border of Old Mexico I rode one day to the cowtown of San Angelo A hot sun was glowing, a warm wind was blowing Still not as warm as the lips that I waited to kiss Cheeks that put blushing red roses to shame Lips that were fresher than flowers when kissed by the rain Dark eyes that sparkled much brighter than diamonds She was a beauty, Secora was my lover's name I met her down in Laredo Everyone there in this border town called her 'the Rose' Mexican cowboys drank to Secora Everyone loved her but I was the one that she chose An outlaw above all the rest Now my heart beats so madly Soon she will be at my side She sent a message a long time ago Secora had promised to meet me at San Angelo I was aware of the chance I was taking I was an outlaw but great was my love for this girl I must be with her, I can't stay away Nights spent without her are lonely and so are the days If it means death, then I'll have to chance it Only a few moments more and she'll be in my arms At ten o' clock in the morning I tied my horse and I started to walk down the street Where was Secora, had she forgotten? This was the day and the hour that she wanted to meet But something is wrong with our plans And I fear death awaits me Here on this hot dusty street Up on a housetop but still I can see There hides a man with a rifle, it's pointed at me I might escape from the man with a rifle But there are others just like him that I cannot see Back of each window, the click of a gun Die if I stay and my love for her won't let me run Where is Secora, will my eyes see her? Then in a moment she runs from a door down the street "Up on your horse", she is crying "Ride out of town, it's a trap and they're waiting for you" But if I ride out, she must ride with me Then in a moment I know that our chances are gone For a bullet is well on its way And it finds my Secora She dies as she falls in my arms Tears dim my vision but plainly I see The ranger that killed her is standing there waiting for me I walk to meet him, my one thought is 'Beat him' He deserves death and I swear that this ranger will die I beat his draw and I shot him Shot him six times just as fast as the bullets would fly My gun is empty or more I would shoot him Now there are others just like him that want me to die Their bullets are coming my way How they hurt when they hit me The pain makes me fall to the ground Gone is my strength, just the will left to fight I hear the sound of the lead as it robs me of life If I must die, let me find Secora Let me hold on to her hand for the few moments left Blindly I search and it isn't in vain I touch the soft velvet hand and it eases the pain Life is no more but we're together Even in death she's my lover, it's over, goodbye
