A Song For

By townes van zandt
Ribbons of love
Please keep me true sane
Until I reach home on the morrow
Never never to wander again
Im weak and Im 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
Theres nowhere left
In this world where to go My arms, my legs theyre 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 Ive done
All that Ive said
Means nothin to me Id 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 doesnt matter no longer
My skys getting far
The grounds gettin close
My self goin crazy
The way that it does
Ill lie on my pillow
And sleep if I must
Too late to wish Id been stronger
Too late to wish Id been stronger
