Marchin’ to the City (Outtake from ‘Time Out Of Mind’ Sessions, Version 1)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Snowflakes are falling on my head Lord have mercy, it feel heavy as lead I've been hit too hard and I've seen too much Nothing can heal me now but your touch [Refrain] Once I had a pretty girl and she did me wrong I'm marching to the city, boys, and the road ain't long [Verse 2] Loneliness got a mind of its own The more people around, more you feel alone Well, I'm chained to the Earth like a silent slave I'm trying to break free out of death's dark cave [Refrain] Once I had a pretty girl, she did me wrong I'm marching to the city, boys, and the road ain't long [Verse 3] Boys in the street beginning to play Girls like birds flying away I'm carrying the roses that were given to me Thinking 'bout paradise, wondering what it might be [Refrain] Once I had a pretty girl, she did me wrong I'm marching to the city, boys, and the road ain't long [Verse 4] Clouds in the sky look like rain Tired of talking, time to explain When I'm gone, you'll remember my name I'm gonna win my way to wealth and fame [Refrain] Once I had a pretty girl, she did me wrong I'm marching to the city, boys, and the road ain't long [Verse 5] I was hoping that we'd never part You took the madness out of my heart I was hoping we could drink from life's clear streams I was hoping we could dream life's pleasant dreams [Refrain] Once I had a pretty girl and she did me wrong I'm marching to the city, boys, and the road ain't long
