Robbie Robertson Lyrics

Robbie Robertson - Shine Your Light Lyrics

The cry of the city like a siren's song
Wailing over the rooftops the whole night long
Saw a shooting star like a diamond in the sky
Must be someone's soul passing by

Robbie Robertson - Somewhere Down the Crazy River Lyrics

Yeah, I can see it now
The distant red neon shivered in the heat
I was feeling like a stranger in a strange land
You know where people play games with the night

Robbie Robertson - When The Night Was Young Lyrics

We headed straight south in a sundown light
On highway sixty one through the delta night
We shared the back roads with card sharks and grifters
Tent show evangelists and Luke the Drifter

Robbie Robertson - Broken Arrow Lyrics

Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow?
Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain?
There he goes, moving across the water, that's right
There he goes turning my whole world around

More Robbie Robertson - Broken Arrow Lyrics

Robbie Robertson - Showdown at Big Sky Lyrics

Soldier of fortune, he's a man of war
Just can't remember what he's fighting for
Start a revolution right before your eyes
When you hear the big bang don't you be surprised

Soap box preacher standing on a corner
And all the people they would gather round
You speak of faith with a blaze of glory
But those that fear, they wanna knock you down

Are you out there?
Can you hear me?
Can you see me in the dark?

Got a ticket on the main line
I was stranded on the fault line
I got wasted on the moonshine
Too far gone

Robbie Robertson - Sweet Fire of Love Lyrics

Didn't we break the silence
Didn't we fear the storm
Didn't we move the earth
Didn't we shoot for the sky

The crow has brought the message to the children of the sun
For the return of the buffalo and for a better day to come
You can kill my body, you can damn my soul
For not believin' in your God and some world down below
