Slim slow slider Horse you ride White as snow Slim slow slider Horse you ride Is white as snow Tell it everywhere you go Saw you walking Down by the Ladbroke Grove this morning Saw you walking Down by the Ladbroke Grove this morning Catching pebbles for some sandy beach You're out of reach Saw you early this morning With your brand new boy and your Cadillac Saw you early this morning With your brand new boy and your Cadillac You're gone for something And I know you won't be back I know you're dying, baby And I know you know it, too I know you're dying And I know you know it, too Every time I see you I just don't know what to do

I have known love and love has won. I burned my fingers on the sun. I have known love and love has won. I burned my fingers on the sun. I've been imprisoned on the moon. I've been imprisoned on the moon. I have known love and love has won. I have learned what truth denies. I drank the teardrops from her eyes. I have learned what truth denies. I drank the teardrops from her eyes. I surrendered much too soon. I surrendered much too soon. I have learned what truth denies I never heard the warning voice. I never knew I had a choice. I never heard the warning voice. I never knew I had a choice. Though I never wanted to return. I never wanted to return I never heard the warning voice But I have sailed upon the boat That flew when there was room to float. But I have sailed upon the boat That flew when there was room to float. And I drank out of the magic urn. And I drank out of the magic urn. But I have sailed upon the boat And I have slept inside the shade encircled by the love we made. And I have slept inside the shade encircled by the love we made. And I have kissed the face of dreams. And I have kissed the face of dreams. I have slept inside the shade And I have ridden on the glow that warms the sky with a rainbow. And I have ridden on the glow that warms the sky with a rainbow. And I have waded in its golden streams. And I have waded in its golden streams. And I have ridden on the glow And I have danced between the stars with music sung by sweet guitars. And I have danced between the stars with music sung by sweet guitars. I've done some things that can't be done. I've done some things that can't be done And I have danced between the stars And I have smiled inside the storm reaching higher to keep warm. And I have smiled inside the storm reaching higher to keep warm I've known love and love has won. I have smiled inside the storm I burned my fingers on the sun

Marie 10:37
Stood in line and left my name Took about six hours or so The man just grinned like it was all a game Said they'd let me know I put in my time till the Pocono line Shut down two years ago I was staying at the mission till I met Marie Now I can't stay there no more Fella 'cross town said he needs a man To move some old cars around Maybe me and marie could find a burned-out Van and do a little settlin' down Aw, but I'm just dreamin', I ain't got no ride And the junkyard's a pretty good ways That job's about a half week old besides It'd be gone now anyway Unemployment said I got no more checks And they showed me to the hall My brother died in Georgia some time ago I got no one left to call Summer wasn't bad below the bridge A little short on food that's all Now I gotta get Marie some kind of coat We're headed down into fall I used to play the mouth harp pretty good Hustled up a little dough But I got drunk and I woke up rolled A couple of months ago They got my harp and they got my dollar Them low life so and so's Harps cost money and I ain't got it It's my own fault I suppose The Pocono's down but the Chesapeake's runnin' Two freights everyday If it was just me I'd be headed south But Marie can't catch no train She's got some pain and she thinks it's a baby, Says we gotta wait and see In my heart I know it's a little boy Hope he don't end up like me Well, the man's still grinnin' says he lost my file I gotta stand in line again I want to kill him but I just say no I had enough of that line my friend I head back to the bridge, it's getting kinda cold I'm feelin' too low down to lie I guess I'll just tell Marie the truth Hope she don't break down and cry Marie she didn't wake up this morning She didn't even try She just rolled over and went to heaven My little boy safe inside I laid them in the sun where somebody'd find them Caught a Chesapeake on the fly Marie will know I'm headed south So's to meet me by and by

Hold on Magnolia to that great highway moon No one has to be that strong But if you're stubborn like me I know what you're trying to be Hold on Magnolia, I hear that station bell ring You might be holding the last light I see Before the dark finally gets a hold of me Hold on Magnolia, I know what a true friend you've been In my life I have had my doubts But tonight I think I've worked it out with all of them Hold on Magnolia to the thunder and the rain To the lightning that has just signed my name to the bottom line Hold on Magnolia, I hear that lonesome whistle whine Hold on Magnolia I think its almost time
