I was walking down

Splashing the rain

In the cobblestone roads

A tree is rocking loud

Some little bird

Is making a fuzz

A lady turns around

Carrying a dog

Who’s eating her smokes

And she said:

“Look her young man

There’s no case for having that grin

I fought all my life just to grind

And spin the wheel.”

I thought she was wild

Like a geezer trying to make it back

All I wanted to say was

If she tried so hard, she could

Save me, now

‘Cause I am all messed up

As I was back then

Then I could leave here

This town ain’t good for me no more

No it ain’t

And I’m (‘ve been) thinking about you all day

(Hey)

I was walking back

Splashing the past

In the cobblestone roads

A lady shook me down

My little bird

Is making a fuzz

I want to turn around

Her words are echoing

In my head

They go like:

“Look her young man

There’s no case for having that grin

I fought all my life just to grind

And spin the wheel.”

I thought she was wild

Like a geezer trying to make it back

All I wanted to say was

If she tried so hard, she could

Save me, now

‘Cause I am all messed up

As I was back then

Then I could leave here

This town ain’t good for me no more

No it ain’t

And I’m thinking about it

Now I’m slipping…

What’s this mess all about?

I need to focus

Then, I’ll stay here, now

Yes, I’ll stay here, now

Yes, I’ll stay here, now
