Gary’s Lyrics

 

Good Luck, Baby

I feel the walls are closin’ in.

Sure could use a nice cold gin

Tonight.

A gin tonight

I see your head is spinnin’ round.

You got guys spread out all over the town

Alright.

Baby you can

Stay just one more night

You talk about good love baby

Why did you wrong Mr Right?

You talk about good luck baby

why did you wrong Mr Right?

You gotta lotta nerve comin’ round

Cause your boy toy stood you up in town tonight

In town tonight

You let yourself in without a sound

I was shakin’ in my shoes you’re so tightly wound

Ok

Baby, this is our love’s dying day

(And you want to know why? I’ll tell you why…)

You talk about good love baby

Why did you wrong Mr Right?

You talk about good luck baby

why did you wrong Mr Right?

You…

gotta lotta nerve coming round

Cause your boy toy stood you up in town

Alright

Baby, you can stay just one more night.

Valley

As I walk into the Valley of Death, yeah

As I give to the sky my last beautiful breath

Is it then that you will be by my side, yeah

Is it then that you will be by my side

Oh, I would jump into the fire

And I’d pull you from that building

I’d do anything and everything to keep your heart alive

And at the ending of our rope

All our dreams went up in smoke

Yet still a little hope survives

You were talking but you ran out of breath, yeah

The Cat, she cut your tongue and made herself your keeper til death

No more freedom to speak what is right, oh

No more freedom to do what is right

And the plot I fear the most

Has you drinking with my ghost

When I propped the door wide open for you, child

And we’ve fallen out of place

And we both are in disgrace

But I’ll only hold you with my open arms

Will I see you in the valley of death

When I share with the sun my last beautiful breath

Will you finally be by my side yeah

Is it then that you’ll be by my side

Once In A While

I remember seeing you there

The sunlight shone through your hair

No, I never will forget

The trembles inside on the day we met

Now once in a while

We’ll touch and smile

And say,

I’m Sorry

Once in a while

We touch and we smile

And say,

I’m Sorry

Now the summer’s over for me and you

Can’t believe I made it through

Without the smell of your skin

Or your sweet warmth from within

Now once in a while

We’ll touch and smile

And say,

I’m Sorry

Once in a while

We touch and smile

And say,

I’m Sorry

Thought it’s been a while now

I know you couldn’t stay

All I got now are postcards

From the time you went away

Hey hey

Now once in a while
