Title: Lonesome To The Bone
Lyrics Lonesome To The BoneOn the park bench I slept on
Raindrops are fallin' on the newspapers coverin' me
I hear early morning motors
And I know the world is waking for the dawn
But my mind's down in dark alley
Somewhere where last night you loved me
And in the early morning chill
My arms remember still
But I'm droppin' like a stone
Lonesome to the bone
The sun is roughly rising on the roofs of stagger town
The time for sweatin' poison out is just now comin' round
The high time of last midnight is over with and gone
Leaving me lonesome to the bone
I walked away the wind blows
And any way the wind goes will be good enough for me
The streets are loud and crowded
But I walk my weary way lost and alone
Your hot breath and your laughter
Keep flashing through my mind to warm me
But the naked light of day soon makes it fade away
And I'm droppin' like a stone lonesome to the bone
The sun is roughly rising on the roofs of stagger town
The time for sweatin' poison out is just now comin' round
The high time of last midnight is over with and gone
Leaving me lonesome to the bone |
