A Song For Lyrics by Townes Van Zandt

A Song For Lyrics

    By townes van zandt

    Ribbons of love
    Please keep me true sane
    Until i reach home on the morrow
    Never never to wander again
    I'm weak and i'm weary of sorrow


    London to dublin
    Australia to perth
    I gazed at your sky
    I tasted your earth
    Sung out my heart
    For what it was worth
    Never again shall i ramble


    There's nowhere left
    In this world where to go
    My arms, my legs they're a-tremblin'
    Thoughts both clouded and blue as the sky
    Not even worth the rememberin'


    Now as i stumble
    And reel to my bed
    All that i've done
    All that i've said
    Means nothin' to me
    I'd soon as be dead
    All of this world be forgotten


    No words of comfort
    No words of advice
    Nothin' to offer a stranger
    Gone the love, gone the spite
    It just doesn't matter no longer


    My sky's getting far
    The ground's gettin' close
    My self goin' crazy
    The way that it does
    I'll lie on my pillow
    And sleep if i must
    Too late to wish i'd been stronger
    Too late to wish i'd been stronger
