A song for
|
by Townes Van Zandt
|
|
Ribbons of love
|
please keep me true sane
|
until I reach home on the morrow
|
never never to wander again
|
I'm weak and I'm weary of sorrow
|
|
London to Dublin
|
Australia to Perth
|
I gazed at your sky
|
I tasted your earth
|
sung out my heart
|
for what it was worth
|
never again shall I ramble
|
|
There's nowhere left
|
in this world where to go
|
my arms, my legs they're a-tremblin'
|
thoughts both clouded and blue as the sky
|
not even worth the rememberin'
|
|
Now as I stumble
|
and reel to my bed
|
all that I've done
|
all that I've said
|
means nothin' to me
|
I'd soon as be dead
|
all of this world be forgotten
|
|
No words of comfort
|
no words of advice
|
nothin' to offer a stranger
|
gone the love, gone the spite
|
it just doesn't matter no longer
|
|
My sky's getting far
|
the ground's gettin' close
|
my self goin' crazy
|
the way that it does
|
I'll lie on my pillow
|
and sleep if I must
|
Too late to wish I'd been stronger
|
too late to wish I'd been stronger
|
|
|
