Barley

I came across the palest man He gave his hat and hand Yes, I met with the foulest fellow He gave his voice, his breath a whisper I took my words to western rivers Through bars and fields and havens To reach the scent of sulfur Richest whiskey and the moon Waving barley in the wind But there ain't gonna be A place in heaven for me If you think about the deeds I've done No surprise But I did it all for love I did it all for music I did it all for you I did it all for music I did it all for love I took my heart to Indiana I took the rivers with me home I brought a diamond to my mother My father I brought a stone I gave my brothers two left earrings Told them, out - go chase your love Ain't gonna be one for you here Cause there ain't gonna be A place in heaven for me If you think about the deeds I've done No surprise But I did it all for love I did it all for music I did it all for you I did it all for music I did it all for love I took a deal in San Francisco I sold my word in Saint Tropez I took my life in Copenhagen The next day I chose to stay And where you go Then I shall follow Like the shadow stalks its prey Through my fingers I see another day Cause there ain't gonna be A place in heaven for me If you think about the deeds I've done No surprise But I did it all for love I did it all for music I did it all for you I did it all for music I did it all for love
