Lyle Lovett - Ballad Of The Snow Leopard And The Tanqueray… Lyrics

Send "Ballad Of The Snow Leopard And The Tanqueray…" ringtone to your cell

Comfort me said she

With your conversation

With the cocktails

And the candlelight

In your eyes

Its funny how we hunger

For some inspiration

And everything else

That money just wont buy

Men have lied

Many good girls have gone astray

Just to hear the gypsy play

One more lilting cowboy tune

And as the rivers run dry

And the mountains blow away

They sing of lovers and how they lay

Beneath this crazy frontier moon

I aint no golden boy

I aint no grecian dancer

And I aint no loudmouthed cowboy

From the west

Im not the kind of man

With all the answers

But I surely know the songs

That suit me best

But lately Ive had something on my mind

Its growing stronger all the time

Calling out when Im alone

But Im a poet

And Im bound to walk the line

Between the real and the sublime

And give the muses back their own

Its a penny for your thoughts

Its a dollar for you kisses

Keep a running tab on the time

Cause what Ive got the most of

Is what she misses

The clock is hers

The hourglass is mine

But Im her lover

Not a man bent on revenge

Hanging out here on the fringe

Of my native borderlands

Counting the days

The sun shone golden across her head

Lying on the banks of the bayous edge

Kicking up some southeast texas sand
