Lyric 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
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
