Lyrics

I can't explain why I'll be leaving you today, again I know you'll wait, you probably shouldn't stay Mmmm, but then You'll walk with me again a while Talk with me again awhile Lay me down again awhile before I go And say goodbye again Your straight suburban friends keep asking why You want a man that writes and sings Instead of furs and jewels and country clubs and yachts...and things We've been right for much too long Simple words that make us wrong I'll be home where I belong to lay me down And make a song again And at times it's sometimes been Like the sands of dunes of change...and shifts And then again, sometimes have been a honeymoon exchange... an' gifts Though this potluck life has knocked me down; Looking up off the ground I think that I should lay me down to bleed a while And rise and try again Getting burned by city lights Hard road days and lonely nights Wish I may, I wish I might Just lay me down and make it right again I shall lay me down and bleed a while And rise and try again
