Duvalier`s Dream - Kris Kristofferson
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
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
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
