Someone called my name
You know, I turned around to see
It was midnight in the Mission
and the bells were not for me

Come again
Walking along in the Mission in the rain
Come again
Walking along in the Mission in the rain

It was a rainy night
We took a taxi to your mother's home
She went to Florida and left you
With your father's gun alone
Upon her small white bed
I fell into a dream
You sat up all the night and watched me
To see who in the world I might be

Holly came from Miami F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side,
Said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.

When I met you boy, you were as sweet as cherry pie
That smiling eye you were as wild as Friday night
I should have known how ever hard you try
Change'd come and strangle it
It was bound to die

You were sweet as cherry pie
Wild as Friday night
Sweet as cherry pie
Wild as Friday night

Hey there Miss Fine, sweet little clinging vine
Your actions kind of show me you love me truly, yeah
You're warmer than July, sweet as apple pie
I can't let you know you're getting to me

Yeah 'cause you can't judge a book by its cover
My papa used to say, "Look child, look beyond a tender smile
'Cause can't judge a book by its lover"

Tender is the night
And the benediction of the neon light
Tender are the hunters
Tender is the night

Come on over my sporting frend
bring your favorite weapon
show me how you make your mark
from the whistle in the wind
through the center of the heart

the moon is full, the night is clear
hunting season is drawing near
show me how you claim your ground
pull the arrow back, take one down

Maybe tonight
maybe you'll show
what you feel behind your bow
and maybe I'll go hunting too
down in the valley with you

And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones who start
To mold a new reality
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
The blacksmith and the artist
Reflect it in their art
They forge their creativity
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart

Love calls echo in the valley
Dream come true tonight
Remembering you hold me tight
In tomorrow morning's light
I will find you
When I awoke the stars were out
And shining, shining for you and me
All I ever want to be
Safe and warm
In your arms
All I have from the heart of me

Lord take me home
To the peaceful valley
Down the winding rivers
To your city of souls

I've grown so tired
And my heart's grown heavy
To walk any longer
But to your cities of gold

Your sister sees the future
Like your mama and yourself
You've never learned to read or write
There's no books upon your shelf
And your pleasure knows no limits
Your voice is like a meadowlark
But your heart is like an ocean
Mysterious and dark.

One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below

nighthawks at the diner
of Emma's 49er, there's a rendezvous
of strangers around the coffee urn tonight
all the gypsy hacks, the insomniacs
now the paper's been read
now the waitress said

eggs and sausage and a side of toast
coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy
chile in a bowl with burgers and fries
what kind of pie?
