I'll lock myself away and not face one more day. On the streets of this town. And all I've got to lose is a feelin' called the blues. And a little old frown.
Dm (with variations shown at end of the song ) G Am. . Dm G Am. In the shadow of the old north church I courted her. Dm G Am. While the pigeons and the gargoyles perched she sang.
VERSE. Burnin' candles, watchin' shadows. Long hours melt away in spider town. Sultry ev'nings, whisperin' windows. I sit and listen to the rain come down.
Oh well, you said goodbye and good luck in your 'Dear John' letter. And I thought I'd die 'cuz I thought we were carved in stone. And it made me cry as I walked through the clear, cold weather.
Try your pills and powders. Take your drugs of every kind. Try your luck with liquor. Try your luck with beer and wine. . You can try. Try it any way that you choose.
VERSE. Try your pills and powders. Take your drugs of every kind. Try your luck with liquor. Try your luck with beer and wine. . CHORUS. You can try. Try it any way you choose.
Daybreak has beautifully broken. Boy, what a weird look of roots. Pressure like this you might not even wish. Of the locker room bullies at school. . Life heats up hard than the fire lane.
The fortune teller's eyes,. They would not look at me,. She said these cards don't lie. An' I said so what d' you see?. She told me what I did,. Her voice was cold an' odd,.
INTRO.. Roll your rain. Roll your rain. Roll your rain down. . VERSE. Well, help me peel the frown off my face . . . chit-chat-chat. I need a little faith an' that's what I'm after.
Can anybody hear me?. Is there anybody there?. Is anybody listening?. Is there anyone that cares?. I've been so long in silence. I'm not sure if you exist,.
Promises made out of fright,. Hands held tight,. All is calm tonight.. I came here looking for a friend. To start again. (...) my love.. . But everything went wrong today!.
Sometimes I'm so weary. Sometimes I'm so low. If not for your sweet love. I think I would move to Mexico. . TV shows a city. And everything is down. Find your friends and families.
Take your seat in the table. Watch the cabaret fill. Ted came down for the singer. He saw the name on the bill. . How the minutes were draggin'. As the audience grew.

All that i know is changing now. Winder will coverr too soon. Just like the lizard is changing colour. My face is launching over you. . All that I see through my eyes.
When you saw me in that morning light. I was sober but I felt alright. I was lonesome but I did not care. I was happy on my down there. . You came on so friendly.
VERSE. I waited for moonlight, I waited for fall. I waited for midnight, I waited for calls. I waited for daylight, I waited for signs. I waited for love, I guess I wasted my time.

Woke up one bright morning,. Woke up in the rain,. Woke up to the sunshine and the pain,. . Stood out in the rosebuds,. Stood out in the dew,. Stood out in the clear and got a clue--.
VERSE. Wish I was more than one. One for work and one for fun. One to go and one to stay. Little darlin', I'm goin' away. . Well, I wish I was two somehow.
