Song language: English
High and Dry |
| I came here with a woman who believed in my ideas |
| Looking for a dream I’d never found |
| But a woman soon gets hungry of living on a dream |
| And a town like this can turn her head around |
| I made her a promise that a break would bring a change |
| While clinging to a dream that wouldn’t die |
| But she got tired of waiting |
| And the only break that came |
| Was when that woman left me high and dry |
| Now my life is just as empty |
| As the pockets in my jeans |
| I don’t have that dream to get me by |
| The thing that’s worse than dying |
| Is living every day |
| Waking up each morning high and dry |
| If a dream has any value then how much is it worth |
| If it won’t buy a man a bite to eat |
| Lord, I’m so tired of walking |
| If the devil had a hotel |
| I’d trade my soul for just a place to sleep |
| I’m a man without a purpose |
| I’ve lost my self respect |
| Since I buried all those dreams that died |
| I know tomorrow’s coming and it won’t be no better |
| I’ll wake up in the morning high and dry |
| Now my life is just as empty |
| As the pockets in my jeans… |
