Lyrics:
Seems like only yesterday
I left my mind behind
Down in the Gypsy Cafe
With a friend of a friend of mine
She sat with a baby heavy on her knee
As the bitter tears fall from your eyes
a thousand times you ask yourself why
the one guy you love has departed
and you're left alone
She left you last night
And today you called me on the phone
Asked me if you could come over
'Cause you didn't want to be alone
So you want me
When least expected
Fate stumbles in
Bringing light to the darkness
Oh, what a friend
I needed someone to call my own
Suddenly, out left field
conquered by the serpent
Why did you disobey the first commandment
Walk through the valley I feel no pestilence
God is my witness and he is my evidence
heart, heart, your heart
(So now) I'm all by myself
As I've always felt
And I'll betray my tears
To anyone caught in our ruse of fools
One last
to be gained by any explanation
There's no words that need to be said
You left me standin' in the doorway cryin'
Blues wrapped around my head
down before the King
This is my desire
This is my return
This is my desire to be used by you
You want to be real
You want to be emptied inside
And I
listen to their headphones
Blasting white noise in the convenience store parking lot
I hung around there wasting my time
Hoping you'll stop by
'Cause I'm
Well, today has been a sad ol' lonesome day
Yeah, today has been a sad ol' lonesome day
I'm just sittin' here thinking
With my mind a million
Late at night like a little child
Wandering around alone in my new friend's home
On my tippy toes, so that he won't know
I still cry baby over you
I hate to see that evening sun go down,
I hate to see that evening sun go down,
'Cause my lovin' baby done left this town.
If I feel
my single name.
I was proposed to by Obadiah Binks
In a very gentlemanly way;
Lent him all my money so that he could buy a home,
And punctually
Well, today has been a sad ol' lonesome day
Yeah, today has been a sad ol' lonesome day
I'm just sittin' here thinking
With my mind a million
savior in me
Learned from years gone by, no one will care
What happens to me
My presence won't be ignored, no not today
Don't walk in my direction,
a visit I pay - and does it pay!"
And his friend, Liquid Len by name,
Of Wine, Women and Wandsworth fame,
Said "I'm breaking the legs of the bastard that
I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
Cause my baby, he's gone left this town
Feelin' tomorrow like I
I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
Cause my baby, he's gone left this town
Feelin' tomorrow like I
I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
Cause my baby, he's gone left this town
Feelin' tomorrow like I
left behind
But nothing can save me from this ball and chain
I've made up my mind I would leave today
But you're keeping me going I know it's insane
wrong with the world today
The light bulb's gettin dim
There's meltdown in the sky
If you can judge a wise man
By the color of his skin
Then mister
The selfish, they're all standing in line
Faithin' and hopin' to buy themselves time
Me, I figure as each breath goes by
I only own my mind
Break out the bottle, bring on the crowd
Yes, gather 'round me, 'cause misery loves company
I just left my home friends, where I couldn't sleep
day today
I can recall when only God could start the world anew
He who left his babies wasted on the shore
But now that man could have the last
