A Song For Lyrics - Singles - 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
