GUADALAJARA

Thunder shakin' this old hotel tonight
Giving the ghosts in these walls such a terrible fright
Guadalajara - you sure know how to put on a show
Whenever I go - oh, you turn my head - am I so easily led?

Saints and Spirits roamin' through this town
Enchantments swirlin' all around
Dreamers reachin' up through your ancient skies
Stars in their eyes

Every one a gem - maybe you'll smile on them
So here's to the flame that burns, here's to the love it earns
Here's to many happy returns

Thunder shakin' this old hotel tonight
But me and the ghosts in these walls - well, we'll be all right
Guadalajara - you sure know how to put on a show
But I have to go, no, I'm not so easily led

But you sure have turned my head – turned my head

IT DIDN’T TAKE MUCH

It didn’t take much to whet my appetite
To get me rollin’ it over in the middle of the night
It didn’t take much to get around my gate
Sooner or later - now it’s too late

It didn’t take much - you know the kind of man that I am
Now I think about you in pieces of time
It didn’t take much - to get me thinking it through
I’ve made up my mind about everything but you

(chorus) You didn’t have to ride so hard - you didn’t have to play so rough
That steel in your smile was more than enough
Now I can’t keep my temper - I can’t hold my tongue
And my high wire act has come un strung

It didn’t take much to look inside of me
You broke into my heart with your skeleton key
You didn’t want much - not that I could see
No, you didn’t want much - just a piece of me

(chorus)

I CAN’T CRY ENOUGH

I can’t cry enough to seal my tears -
I can’t lie enough to fool my ears
I’m not strong enough to say goodbye -
I can’t lie enough to fool my eye

(And they tell me)
You got to keep on keepin’ the faith -
you got to see it through
Peaches and cream, boy just waitin’ for you
But I’m losin’ my taste for sweetness and light
My only comfort - these blues here tonight

I can’t cry enough to seal my tears -
she’s not gone enough to disappear
I’m not strong enough - my tale to tell -
I can’t lie enough to say farewell

(And I hear them)
You got to keep on keepin’ the faith -
you got to let it ride
Make your connection - let your burden slide
But I’m losin’ sight of these sweet dreams in flight
Now I’m sittin’ singing these blues here tonight.
