I'm Not There

Things all crash in there
She's all too tight
In my neighborhood
She cried both day and night
It's a milestone
But she's down on her luck
The days make her so lonely
And it's so hard to buck
Now and then

I believe that she'd stop him
If she'd find time to care
I believe that she may look upon
The side who used to care
And I go by the Lord
Anywhere she's on my way
But I don't belong there

No, I don't belong to her
I don't belong to every choir
She's my Christ forsaken angel
But she didn't hear me cry
She's a lone-hearted mystic
And she can't carry on
When I'm there she's alright
But then she's not when I'm gone

Heaven knows that the answer
She don't con no one
She's the way forsaken beauty
She is mine for the one
And I lost her hesitating
By temptation as it runs
But she don't holler me
I'm not there, I'm gone

Now I'll cry tonight
Like I cried the night before
And I'll fleece down the highway
But I'll dream about the door
It's so long, she's forsaken
By her fate worse to tell
It don't have approximation
She smiled fare thee well

Her smile is contagious
I was born to love her
But she knows that the kingdom
Waits so high above her
And I run but I race
But it's not too fast to stand
But I got the fever
I'm not there, I'm gone

Well, it's all about diffusion
As I cry for her veil
I don't need anybody now
Beside me to tell
And it's all affirmation
I receive but it's not
She's a lone hearted beauty
But she don't like the spot
And she calls

Yeah, she's gone like the rainbow
That was shining yesterday
But she's home now beside me
And I'd like her to stay
She's a lone forsaken beauty
And she don't trust no one
And I wish I was beside her
But I'm not there, I'm gone

Well, it's too hard to stay here
And I don't wanna leave
It's so hard for so few
Some impressions hard
Too hard to read
It's so low, it's a crime
The way she mauls me around
But she don't phone to hate me
But it's down to make a clown

Yes, I believe that it's rightful
I believe it in my mind
I've been told like I said before
"Carry on, goodbye"
Yes, the soul gypsy told her
Like I said, "Carry on"
I wish I was there to help her
But I'm not there, I'm gone
