Duvalier’s dream lyrics

Artist  : Kris kristofferson 
Song : Duvalier’s dream
 
Duvalier was a bitter man who cursed the morning
sun
That brought a new betrayal every day.

He shunned the world of mortals and the sound of
human tongues
And blessed the night that chased their sight
away.
A disillusioned dreamer who would never love
again
Who’d tried of it and found that it was rotten.
Prefering perfect strangers to the company of
friends
Because strangers are so easily forgotten.

Chorus:
Oh, it’s hard to keep believing when you know
you’ve been decieved.
To face a lie and dare to try again, but there’s
nothing like a woman
With a spell of make believe to make a new
believer of a man.


Duvalier took the fickle turns of fortune in his
stride
Expecting next to nothing out of life.
Till fortune found a girl who fanned a flame he
thought had died
Whose 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
soul
Duvalier was a dreamer after all.

Chorus
Oh, it’s hard to keep believing when you know
you’ve been decieved.
To face a lie and dare to try again, but there’s
nothing like a woman
With a spell of make believe to make a new
believer of a man.
