Had a girl in my hometown.. Sorry now that I put her down.. Could've lived so happily.. Well, shame on me.. . Why, oh why did I go away?. Sorry now that I didn't stay..
The clouds drew dark as I rolled in. I sat down next to a man with five empty cups in front of him. He said "aren't you a little too young to be alone in these parts".
Ballroom again.. It's been a while since I've seen the end.. Pull down real hard the latch to the gate at the entrance of the yard.. Slide up the steps into a hall where the walls cry..
The search for songs has turned hopeless.. So I turn to anything meaningless.. . "Hey we'll be your friends.. I don't sleep. I don't count sheep.. I talk to the shepherd..
