Lying there beside you in the dark, I could not see
Past the light you had set there for me Oh, that night had it's meaning and the flame shook your room From the walls to the beating of my heart But now you're gone And I won't worry any more Yes, now you're gone And I won't worry any more Oh, your sighs screamed with loneliness Your eyes traced broken dreams And your touch held a warning of goodbye Oh, many's the times I've reached for you More's the times I've failed I'm the reason, I'm the cause of it all But now you're gone And I won't worry any more Now you're gone And I won't worry any more Why you begged me? Must we stay here but to wait a bitter end Than the silence this dimming light foretells Why the future? Why the past? Why this moments cold retreat? How do I know there's no relief you can bring? And I was lost, I could not answer No, I could not shed a tear To the ghost of a love that could have been Well, I see them all just coming And I know that they're all gone But as you're near I won't worry any more And now you're gone And I worry anymore Yes, you're gone And I won't worry any more |

Finding her there in my doorway, I bid her
Come in and sit down here beside my bare wall Alright then for a while and even a smile 'Neath her dark eyes did slip 'cross a cheek to her lip But try to be brief for I'm here on relief I've but moments to stay and my time I must watch Alright then for a moment just tell me your name And let me look into your young proud eyes My eyes are but your sins My glory your wine My visions, your footsteps Dear boy and I fled |

All around the water tank
Waiting for a train A thousand miles away from home Sleeping in the rain I walked up to a brakeman To give him a line of talk He says, "If you've got the money I'll see that you don't walk" I haven't got a nickel Not a penny can I show "Get off, get off, you railroad bum" He slammed the boxcar door He put me off in Texas A state, I dearly love The wide open spaces all around me The moon and stars up above Nobody seems to want me Or lend me a helping hand I'm on my way from Frisco I'm going to Dixie Land Though my pocketbook is empty My heart is full of pain I'm a thousand miles away from home Just waiting for a train |

I was born on a side road far from here
While the town was burning out my dark window I was crowned with a cage of cold barbed wire And my bottle I keep with me even till now Curse my pain, curse the sunrise every dawn Those sidewalks ran me ragged, those cracks my only guide Long for midnight, long for darkness sweet release Beg the alleys for your endless time to cease Screaming blackbird on my shoulders Mark my nearness to his youth Left my senses reeling as he cried, "I understand you" (Sweet release, sweet release) Try the handle, try the doorway, try the path Try to enter, to enter and to find some solace there, there In this clearing, you'll find nothing but a song Give it breath, give it sunshine and with you it will belong, belong It will whisper, it will stir a gentle breeze, its hands are your hands They will take you where you please, if you please Will you choose to be gentle? It's just your life whatever you feel Are we blind for a reason or is it just to make it real, real? (Sweet release, sweet release) Show me do, give me seashells for my ears Tell your neighbors and forgive them for their fears (Sweet release, sweet release, sweet release) |
