Townes Van Zandt
A Song For

Oh, the ribbons of love will keep me true sane
'Til I reach home on the morrow
Never, never to wander again
I'm weak, and I'm weary of sorrow

Dublin to London, Australia to Perth
Gazed at your sky, and I've tasted your earth
Sung out my heart for what it was worth
Never again shall I ramble

There's nowhere left in this whole world to go
My arms and my legs, they are trembling
Thoughts both clouded and blue as the sky
Not even worth the remembеring

Now as I stumble and reel to my bed
All that I have donе and all that I've said
Means nothing to me, I'd soon as be dead
All of this world be forgotten

No words of comfort, no words of advice
Nothing to offer a stranger
Gone the love, gone the spite
It just doesn't matter any longer

My sky's getting far, and the ground feels so close
My self going crazy the way that it does
Lie on my pillow and sleep if I must
Too late to wish I'd been stronger
Too late
