Tarnation Mirador Lyrics
1.Destiny

There's something I must tell you,
There's one thing you must know:
Green is the color I remember on the hills of long ago.
I was told to be watchful,
I was told to beware.
For something in the way that he spoke showed he didn't care.
Suddenly, things are not as they ought to be and I know that
it's destiny.
Destiny, and just like before,
I yearn for a return to the way things used to be.
He stood out in the shadows,
He was not one to explain
Then he moved past the trees, a distant figure against the green
terrain.
Suddenly, things are not as they ought to be and I know that
it's destiny.
Destiny, and just like before,
I yearn for a return to the way things used to be.
Out there stands a manzanita,
Underneath there lies a stone,
Without a name or a symbol,
Fading in the waiting light alone.


2.Little black egg

I don't care what they say,
I'm gonna keep it anyway.
I won't let them stretch their necks,
To see my little black egg with the little white specks.
I found it in a tree just the other day,
Now it's mine all mine, they can't take it away.
There comes Mary, there comes Lee :
I'll bet what they want to see.
I won't let them stretch their necks
To see my little black egg with the little white specks.
I found it in a tree just the other day,
Now it's mine all mine, they can't take it away.
Oh my, what can I do ? Little black agg's gonna tell on you.
I won't let them stretch their necks
To see my little black egg with the little white specks


3.There's someone

There's someone who'll hold your hand,
Take you through a troubled land.
It's not the promised land but the weary heart abides.
Listen to the words that fade and the sheltered bed that's made.
Those who fall away they just fall into a void.
There's someone who's out of control,
There's someone we both know,
With their head held high,
In the clouds, in the sky.
There's someone who longs to laugh,
Drift away from the past.
And share a thought or two and do the things that lovers do.
There's someone who's out of control,
There's someone we both know,
With their head held high, in the clouds, in the sky.


4.An awful shade of blue

You've heard these words because they're written on my face
Like they were carved in stone that time cannot erase.
What secrets lie behind an awful shade of blue ?
In a place of reckoning I keep returning to.
And we return back to the place where words belong, in an awful
shade of blue.
I sit and listen to an awful shade of blue,
And through the creeping dust that I am listening to
Are the words that I once loved and meant the world to me.
But they are only now a distant memory.
And we return back to a place where words belong, in an awful
shade of blue.
There's no sense in cryin', it is only a shade of blue.


5.Like a ghost

A southern breeze and this road I'm on,
I wonder if I'll see the end.
The city of my sleep where angels dream,
Wrapped up closely to the dawn.
Follow time, like a ghost,
Follow time, like a ghost, I long to wander.
I fell into an angel's dream, I think I left my senses there,
Along with all those forgotten things I left my senses there.
Follow time, like a ghost,
Follow time, like a ghost, I long to wander.
This is the time that we have longed for, that we have longed
for.
From far away, far away,
I ask that you would stay in my tranquil dreams,
Tranquil dreams, tranquil dreams.


6.Your thoughts and mine

Which way can we go, only the moon casts a shadow.
When we look far below the path is sharp and narrow.
Your thoughts and mine, are far away from this moment, from this
moment.
Are the stars very bright in the place where you are sleeping?
Can you hear this song and this song that I am keeping?
Your thoughts and mine, are far away from this moment, from this
moment.
And this story it goes as we move along the shadows.
And this story it goes along the sharp and narrow.
Your thoughts and mine, are far away from this moment, from this
moment.


7.Is she lonesome now ?

Is she lonesome now ? Is she all alone ?
I wonder where that good gal's gone ?
Hear the whistle blow, hear the tracks moan
I hear the train coming home.
Lonesome is the name of the north bound train,
The hills are green she's gone.
Has she made up her mind to leave sorrow behind,
On herway back home?
There is a place where her shining face still smiles.
Does she sing a sad song or is she glad I'm gone ?
I hear her voice laugh in a dream.
How near she seemed when she whispered her sad farewell


8.You'll understand

There goes the other side,
And It goes on without us, it goes on.
And soon you'll know just how I feel
When you know, you'll understand.
There's the way you are your own
And what is lost and what is gone.
I hope you'll see some happiness
When you see, you'll understand.
Holding on to words that no one can hold on to,
Leave the words behind you.
I hope you'll see some happiness
And when you see, you'll understand.
You'll understand, you'll understand
And soon you'll know just how I feel.


9.The well reprise

I'm waiting, I wait, for the steps on the path,
I'm waiting but steps never come
The sun's burning still,
And the plans that we made
Have slowly faded away
So long, good-bye, to that crazy moaning sky and I'll cast my
heart down the well.
The whole years slowly passed, where the high grass has grown
By the lake where we used to play
The ravine's grown so high, round the shaded brick well.
In the field where we used to play
So long, good-bye, to that crazy moaning sky and I'll cast my
heart down the well.


10.Christine

Christine made a little doll and it glowed in the dark.
And it cried out her name, Christine.
Christine lived in a wooden house
Where she made that little doll that glowed in the dark
And cried out her name, Christine.
Christine had to move away because the doll drove her mad
Because it cried out her name
And it cried in the dark, Christine.
Christine left the doll behind
And it sits in a sad room
Where it glows in the dark
And it cries out her name, Christine.


11.Idly

So uncertain I double as a shadow or someone who doesn't
understand.
Blatant or misshapen and far too weary to pretend to understand.
In my mind's eye, I am love's pauper and I am going nowhere.
But, I know there's a little piece of heaven - a piece of heaven
somewhere.
Idly, Idly, please come take my hand.
Somewhere I know there is a castle floating in the air.
Idly I am taking my time but someday, I will be there.
Idly, Idly, Idly, please come take my hand.


12.Wait

You wait, but the sun has told you lies,
It sits laughing in an empty sky.
There's one thing that I can't do without,
But I can see through those sullen eyes that have turned away
from me.
It's wise to say that I don't care
It's wise to say but I don't mean a word.
I'm only asking why must I pretend to not see
Through those sullen eyes that have turned away from me.


13.A place where I know

There's a place where I know,
We can walk in the flowers and weeds where they grow.
But, I left you back there looking far off with the sun on your
hair.
By some strange design I feign to believe that this image was
mine.
The shape of your hand in a dream I see a mysterious plan.
