To your common sense firm arguments I won't listen to your voice of 

reason
trying to change my mind. I mind my feelings and not your words.
Didn't you
notice I'm so headstrong even when I know I'm wrong? Take this to your
heart
and into your head now: before you waste your time, call a truce and
call a
draw.
What's the use in mapping your views out in orderly form when it does
nothing but confuse and anger me more? I mind my feelings and not your
words.
Didn't you notice I'm so headstrong. You're talking to a deaf stone
wall.
Take this to your heart and into your head now: the old wives' tale is
true,
I'll repeat it. All is fair in love and war, that's how the famous
saying goes.
Open up your eyes, see me for what I am: cast in iron, I won't break
and I
won't bend. Take this to your heart and into your head now: the old
wvies'
tale is true, I'll repeat it. All is fair in love and war, that's how
the
famous saying goes.
If I told you we were out to sea in a bottomless boat, you'd try
anything to
save us, you'd try anything to keep us afloat. And if we were living
in a
house afire, I don't believe that you could rush out and escape it and
not
rescue me. Take this to your heart and into your head now: the old
wives' tale
is true, I'll repeat it. All is fair in love and war, that's how the
famous
saying goes. Listen, I think they were talking to you.


In the quiet morning 

There was much despair
And in the hours that followed
No one could repair

That poor girl
Tossed by the tides of misfortune
Barely here to tell her tale
Rolled in on a sea of disaster
Rolled out on a mainline rail

She once walked tight at my side
I'm sure she walked by you
Her striding steps could not deny
Torment from a child who knew

That in the quiet morning
There would be despair
And in the hours that followed
No one could repair

That poor girl
She cried out her song so loud
It was heard the whole world round
A symphony of violence
The great southwest unbound
