Lyrics
Really can’t remember where I left my spine,
Carrying my body in a bag for dimes
hidden in the pages of the New York Times
At home
maybe I’ll be better if I take my meds
ain’t a double header if you lose your head
I tried a medication that I bought instead
it’s working for a little but there’s not much left
Darling don’t you weep
There’s a place for me
Somewhere we can sleep
see you in your dreams
Ever since a little girl I found it sweet
Driving past a graveyard on a lonesome street
all the little flowers gave me something to believe in
Never knew the feeling of a stable home
been a couple years of living on the road
couldn’t really tell you where they’d leave a stone
to visit me when I am dead and gone
Darling don’t you weep
There’s a place for me
Somewhere we can sleep
see you in your dreams
Darling don’t you cry
Head fast toward the light
Foolish men have tried
But only you have shown me how to love being alive
until it’s time
To see the light
I’ll make my own with you each night
I’ll kidnap all the stars and I will keep them in your eyes
I’ll wrap them up in velvet twine
And hang them from a fishing line
So I can see them any time I’d like
Darling don’t you weep
There’s a place for me
Somewhere we can sleep
I’ll see you in your dreams
Darling don’t you cry
Head fast toward the light
Foolish men have tried
But only you have shown me how to love being alive
