Lay Low |
When you go away, it tries my patience |
I ain’t got a whole lot of time |
I always seem to end up standing at the station |
Crying to the end of the line |
I know you don’t own nothing of me, or want to |
But ain’t I got a right to say |
Baby don’t go |
Or the wind and the world slip away |
And I end up |
Standing in circles again |
And spinning my whole world around |
I can’t find a friend on whom I can |
Depend or defend, and I’m down |
I’ve been spending all my time in limbo |
You know, but you go on |
So lay low — no show until it’s gone |
Empty bed mornings sure get lonely |
Ain’t got a whole lot of speed |
I always seem to wake up feeling homely |
Begging like a dog on a very short lead |
I know it don’t mean that you don’t want to love me |
But ain’t I got a right to shout |
Baby don’t go |
Or the wind turns the world upside down |
And I end up |
Standing in circles again |
And spinning my whole world around |
I can’t find a friend on whom I can |
Depend or defend, and I’m down |
I’ve been spending all my time in limbo |
You know, but you go on |
So lay low — no show until it’s gone |
Spending all my time in limbo |
You know, but you go on |
So lay low |
No show until it’s gone |
Until it’s gone |
Until it’s… |
