Lyrics Poncho's Lament - Tom Waits

Poncho's Lament

Well the stairs sound so lonely without you
And I ain’t maid my bed in a week
Coffee stains on the paper I’m writing
And I’m too choked up inside to speak
And Yes, I know our differences pulled us apart
Never spoke a word heart to heart
And I’m glad that you’re gone
But I wish to the lord that you’d come home
And I’m glad that you’re gone
Got the feeling so strong
And I’m glad that you’re gone
But I wish to the lord that you’d come home
Well my guitar still plays your favorite song
Though the strings have been outta tune for some time
Every time I strum a cord, I pray out to the lord
That you’ll quit your honkey-tonkin' sing my song
And I’m glad that you’re gone
Got the feeling so strong
And I’m glad that you’re gone
But I wish to the lord that you’d come home
