(GUITAR SOLO INTRO)

oh, babe within a dream I've been lovin' you

for shame to scratch the seam sealing servitude

never known such a branded iron

never known such a strong desire

withered words and wine for now

soon the judge will be calling us down

yeah, yeah, yeah

(GUITAR SOLO)


enraged like horses hobbling on the moon

engaged in a game we should not pursue

now the jury's lost its tongue

they hold our heads to be hung

a man may mute his mind

better blue than beaten or blind

yeah, yeah, yeah

(GUITAR SOLO)


tears won't wash away

tears can't wash away feelings

words can't start to say

words can't convey their meanings

tears won't wash away

(GUITAR SOLO)


in vain are the terms all too often used

in vain telling thoughts too long overdue

now the prison's in your eyes

the jailer is your lies

withered words and wine for now

soon the judge will be calling us down

yeah, yeah, yeah

(GUITAR SOLO)
