Flatlanders - Julia lyrics

rate me

by Buth Hancock

Sundogs barkin', barkin' round my dreams

Three ring circus rockin' round the sun

The taste of fire and Julia's name

Right there on the tip of my tongue

I was on the mountain

And the sun was goin' down

All I's wishin' for was Julia

I kissed her on the mouth, I looked her in the eye

I's actin' half my age and feelin' way too proud

I drove into the desert, I drove up to the sky

I parked it and I left it just a hangin' on a cloud

I was on the mountain

The first star was shinin' down

All I's wishin' for was Julia

Night wind blows

Stars above the blue

Heaven knows

Only love will do

Now what's a few miles between the beauty and the beast

What's it mean when angels keep flying by above

Storm clouds gatherin' round the full moon in the east

I was empty-headed but my heart was full of love

I was on the mountain

Lightnin' all around

All I's lookin' for was Julia

The more you need her help the more she let's you down

The more you like the way she walks the more she shakes her hips

The more you fall in love with life the more she runs around

The more you fear the kiss of death the more she licks her lips

I was on the mountain

There was thunder rumblin' down

All I's listenin' for was JUlia

Night wind blows

Stars above the blue

Heaven knows

Only love will do

I was on the mountain

I was never comin' down

All I's thinkin' bout was Julia

All I's thinkin' bout was Julia
