Song Lyrics

Lay down my head by the wayside
My worn out shoes
Quite why she went I can't decide
Yeah but I sure could use
One plate of food steaming and hot
Clean linen ironed
On a fresh made bed but I ain't got
One salty dime, one salty dime

Just close your eyes, it won't take long
It won't hurt a bit
Telling myself I could be strong
Or some such brave bullshit
Trucks are roaring by, I'm a red ghost
In their tail light gleam
I'm a tumbleweed, I'm a spit roast
Turning in your flame
Oh my darlin' Kathleen

Cars they sound like waves that are breaking
On some distant shore
I gazed so long into the great aching sky
It seemed like I wasn't here no more

My rushing blood was a river
My eyes two stars
My blowing hair all a quiver
A whispering field of grass
That murmurs as you pass
Oh my darlin' Kathleen
That whispers out your name
Oh my darlin' Kathleen
Oh my darlin' Kathleen

David Gray
