Sure a lot smaller everyday Wonder why we feel this way You don't know that I've got nothing left to say
I've been blown across the water Like a ship ain't got no sail That ain't no way to feel
I feel that longing loud and clear Dead end streets and I lay here When you're flying you've got nothing left to fear
'Less you're gonna cross the water Like a ship ain't got no sail That ain't no way to feel
Winter wind keeps blowing through the trees But life keeps breathing gaily as you please Hey now, silver birches lying by the road Branches lined against the winter snow
We left the shelter yesterday After we had played some way You can find that I've got nothing left to say
'Less you're gonna cross the water Like a ship ain't got no sail That ain't no way to feel
I've been blown cross the water Like a ship ain't got no sail That ain't no way to feel
Woke up this morning, feel 'round for my shoes Lord knows I got them old walkin' blues Up this morning, feel 'round for my shoes I got them old walkin' blues
Well I feel like blowin' sweet old lonesome horn Up this morning, all I have is gone Feel like blowin' sweet lonesome horn Up this morning, all I had is gone
Gonna leave this town this morning if I have to, have to ride the blinds I've been mistreated and I don't mind dyin' If I have to ride the blinds I've been mistreated and I don't mind dyin'
Well she've got Elgin movement from her head down, down to her toes Breaks in a dollar everywhere she goes She's got Elgin movement from her head down to her toes Breaks in on a dollar, now, most anywhere she goes
