i'm not there
Ev'ry thing's all right And then she's all the time in my neighborhood She cries both day and night I know because it was there It's a milestone but she's down on her luck And the day makes her lonely And it's so hard to buck, I was there I believe that she'd stop him if she would start to care I believe that she'd look upon this side And t' care and I'd go by the something When she's on my way, but I don't belong there No I don't belong to her I don't belong to anybody She's my prize forsaken angel But she don't care she cries She's a lone-hearted mystic and she can carry on When I'm there, she's all right But she's not when I'm gone Heaven knows that the answer she's don't call in no one She's a wave, a thing, beautiful she's mine for the one And I'm also hesitating by temptation lest it runs Which it don't follow me But I'm not there, I'm gone Now I'll cry tonight, like I cried the night before And I'll feast on her eyes But I'll dream about the door So long, Jesus, savior, blind faith worth to tell It don't have consolation she's my I was born to love her But she knows that the kingdom waits so high above her And I run but I race But it's not too fast a pace Of cource I'll not deceive her I'm not there, I'm gone It's all about confusion and I cry for her
