Kris Kristofferson - Duvalier's Dream Lyrics
Duvalier was a bitter man who cursed the morning sunThat brought a new betrayal every day.He shunned the world of mortals and the sound of human tonguesAnd blessed the night that chased their sight away.A disillusioned dreamer who would never love againWhod tried of it and found that it was rotten.Prefering perfect strangers to the company of friendsBecause strangers are so easily forgotten.Chorus:Oh, its hard to keep believing when you know youve been decieved.To face a lie and dare to try again, but theres nothing like a womanWith a spell of make believe to make a new believer of a man.Duvalier took the fickle turns of fortune in his strideExpecting next to nothing out of life.Till fortune found a girl who fanned a flame he thought had diedWhose burning beauty cut him like a knife.She touched him through the senses that his mind could not control.Then smiling stepped aside and watched him fall.Betrayed by his own body and the hunger in his soulDuvalier was a dreamer after all.ChorusOh, its hard to keep believing when you know youve been decieved.To face a lie and dare to try again, but theres nothing like a womanWith a spell of make believe to make a new believer of a man.
