Tema: Willie Nelson - Tekstovi Pesama

A Fool Such As I


Pardon me, if I'm sentimental when we say goodbye
Don't be angry with me should I cry
When you're gone, yet I'll dream
A little dream as years go by
Now and then there's a fool such as I

Now and then, there's a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how to love
And now you say that we are through
I'm a fool but I'll love you dear until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I

Now and then, there's a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how to love
And now you say that we are through
I'm a fool but I'll love you dear until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I

Now and then, there's a fool such as I
Now and then, there's a fool such as I

A Horse Called Music

High on a mountain in western Montana

A silhouette moves 'cross a cinnamon sky

Riding alone on a horse he called Music

With a song on his lips, and a tear in his eye



He dreams of a time, and a lady that loved him

And how he would sing her sweet lullabies

But we don't ever ask him

And he never talks about her

Guess it is better to just let it slide



But sang "ooh" to the ladies

And ooh, he made some sigh

Now he rides away on a horse he called Music

With a pain in his heart and a tear in his eye



He rode the Music from Boston to Bozeman

For not too much money, but way to much ride

But those were the days when a horse he called Music

Could jump through the moon and sail across the sky



Now all that's left is an old time-worn cowboy

With nothin' more than the sweet by-and-by

And trailing behind, is a horse with no rider

A horse he calls memories that she used to ride



And he sang "ooh" to the ladies

And ooh, he damn near made some fall right down and die

Now he rides away on a horse he called Music

With a pain in his heart and a tear in his eye



High on a mountain in western Montana

Two crosses cut, through a cinnamon sky

Marking the place where a horse he called Music

Lays with a cowboy in the sweet by-and-by...

A Little Unfair

You want me to love just you while you love your share
Don't you think that's a little unfair
It's me stay home while you stay gone till you decide to care
Don't you think that's a little unfair
I can't see how it can be anything for me
What's mine is yours what's yours is yours that's how you wanted to be
And you want me to wait for you till you decide to care
Don't you think that's a little unfair
[ guitar ]
I can't see how it can be...
Don't you think that's a little unfair

A Moment Isn't Very Long

Yesterday, as I talked with a friend in town,
I forgot to remember that you'd gone.
For a moment, I found myself smilin',
But a moment isn't very long.

An' last night as I danced with a stranger,
An' she held her cheek close to my own,
For a moment, I almost forgot you,
But a moment isn't very long.

Every now an' then I get a chance to smile,
But those every now an' thens just last a little while.
An' tonight I've got a date with a new love,
But I know I'd do just as well at home.
For a moment, maybe I could forget you.
But a moment isn't very long.

[Instrumental]

Every now an' then I get a chance to smile,
But those every now an' thens just last a little while.
An' tonight I've got a date with a new love,
But I know I'd do just as well at home.
For a moment, maybe I could forget you.
But a moment isn't very long.

A Song For You

Well I've been a lot of places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs and I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages with ten thousand people watchin'
Now we're alone and I am singin' my song for you
And I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darling can't you see
No one more important to me darling can't you please see through me
Cause now we're alone and I am singing my song for you
Well you taught me precious secrets of a truth with holding nothin'
You came out in front but I was hiding
Now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
And I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing my song for you
And we were alone and I was singing my song for you

A Whiter Shade Of Pale

We skipped the light fandango
And turned cartwheels cross the floor.
I was feeling kind of seasick
The crowd called out for more.
The room was humming harder
And the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waitress brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first so ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale.

She said "There is no reason,
And the truth is plain to see",
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
Although both my eyes were open
They might just just have well been closed.
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
Her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale.


She said she wanted shore leave
Tho in truth we were at sea
So I took her by a looking glass
And forced her to agree
Saying you must be the mermaid
Who took Neptune for a ride
Well she smiled at me so sadly
That my anger straightway died
And so it was, etc?

Accentuate The Positive

You've got to accentuate the positive
eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
don't mess with Mister In-Between

You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium's
liable to walk upon the scene

To illustrate my last remark
Jonah in the whale Noah in the ark
What did they do just when everything looked so dark
They said you've got to accentuate...

[ guitar ]

To illustrate my last remark...
They said you've got to accentuate...
Don't mess with Mister In-Between

Across The Borderline

There's a land where I've been told
Every street is paved with gold
And it's just across the borderline
When it's time to take your turn
Here's a lesson that you must learn
You can lose more than you'll ever find

When you reach the broken promise land
Every dream slips through your hand
You'll know it's too late to change your mind
'Cause you paid the price to come to far
Just to wind up where you are
And you're still just across the borderline

Up and down the Rio Grande
A thousand footprints in the sand
Reveal the secret no one can define
The river flows on like a breath
In between our life and death
Who's the next to cross the borderline

Hope remains when pride is gone
And it keeps you moving on
Calling you across the borderline

And you're still just across the borderline

Against The Wind

WAYLON:
It seems like yesterday, but it was a long time ago
She was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio, playin' low
The secrets that we shared, the mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
There was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove
JOHNNY:
And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it would never end
I remember how she held me oh, so tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

CHORUS (ALL):
Against the wind
We were running against the wind
We were young and strong
But just running against the wind

WILLIE:
And the years rolled slowly past, I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
I guess I lost my way, there were oh, so many roads
I was livin' to run and runnin' to live
Never worrying about paying or how much I owed
Movin' eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breakin' all of the rules I could bend
I began to find myself searchin'
Searchin' for shelter again and again

CHORUS (ALL):
Against the wind
We were running against the wind
I found myself seekin'
Shelter against the wind

WILLIE:
All those drifter's days are passed me now
I've got so much more to think about
JOHNNY:
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out

CHORUS (ALL):
Against the wind
We were running against the wind
Well I'm older now and still
Running against the wind
Against the wind

Against the wind
Against the wind

Ain't Misbehavin'

No one to talk with, all by myself
No one to walk with, I'm happy on the shelf babe
Ain't misbehavin', savin' my love for you

I know for certain the one I love
I'm through with flirtin', you that I'm thinkin' of
Ain't misbehavin'
Oh savin' my love oh baby, love for you

Like Jack Horner in a corner
Don't go nowhere and I don't care
Oh your kisses worth waitin' for, babe

I don't stay out late, don't care to go
I'm home about eight, me and my radio, babe
Ain't misbehavin'
Savin' all my love for youNo one to talk with, all by myself
No one to walk with, I'm happy on the shelf babe
Ain't misbehavin', savin' my love for you

I know for certain the one I love
I'm through with flirtin', you that I'm thinkin' of
Ain't misbehavin'
Oh savin' my love oh baby, love for you

Like Jack Horner in a corner
Don't go nowhere and I don't care
Oh your kisses worth waitin' for, babe

I don't stay out late, don't care to go
I'm home about eight, me and my radio, babe
