No Place To Fall
If I had no place to fall And I needed to
Could I count on you To lay me down?
I'd never tell you no lies I don't believe it's wise
You got pretty eyes Won't you spin me 'round
I ain't much of a lover it's true I'm here then I'm gone
And I'm forever blue But I'm sure wanting you
Skies full of silver and gold Try to hide the sun
But it can't be done Least not for long
And if we help each other grow While the light of day
Smiles down our way Then we can't go wrong
Time, she's a fast old train She's here then she's gone
And she won't come again Won't you take my hand
If I had no place to fall And I needed to
Could I count on you To lay me down?

No Place To Fall 와 그의 명곡'Rock, Salt and Nails'를 들어봄니다...
Rock Salt And Nails
By the banks of the river where the willows grow cold
Wild birds warble the strange soundin' song
By the banks of the river where the waters run cold
Well that's where I first listened the lies that she told.
--- Instrumental ---
He lays there each night all alone and he weeps
Nothing ain't worse than a night wothout sleep
The letters she wrote him they were written in vain
But I know that her conscience still echoes my name.
--- Instrumental ---
If the ladies were blackbirds and the ladies were fishes
I'd lay there for hours in the cold rainy matches
If the ladies were squirrels yeah with a big bushy tail
I'd fill up my shotgun with a rock salt and nails.
We'd fill up our shotgun with a rock salt and nails...
