Girl It's Me
I'm going down the river of sadness
I'm going down the river of pain
In the dark, under the wires
I hear them call my name
I gave you the key to the highway
And the key to my motel door
And I'm tired of leaving and leaving
I can't come back no more
Oh, my dark-eyed friend
I'm recalling you again
Soft voices that speak nothing
Speak nothing 'til the end
Oh, Mother of Earth, the blind they call
But, yet stay behind the wall
Their sadness grows like weeds
Upon my thighs and knees
Oh, Mother of Earth, the wind is hot
I tried my best, but I could not
My eyes fade from me
In this open country
I'm going down the river of sadness
I'm going down the river of pain
In the dark, under the wires
I hear them call my name
In the dark and under the wires
I hear them call my name
I'm going down the river of pain
In the dark, under the wires
I hear them call my name
I gave you the key to the highway
And the key to my motel door
And I'm tired of leaving and leaving
I can't come back no more
Oh, my dark-eyed friend
I'm recalling you again
Soft voices that speak nothing
Speak nothing 'til the end
Oh, Mother of Earth, the blind they call
But, yet stay behind the wall
Their sadness grows like weeds
Upon my thighs and knees
Oh, Mother of Earth, the wind is hot
I tried my best, but I could not
My eyes fade from me
In this open country
I'm going down the river of sadness
I'm going down the river of pain
In the dark, under the wires
I hear them call my name
In the dark and under the wires
I hear them call my name
