(R. Martin) |
|
I'm staying in the city |
|
In the dim light |
|
I feel complete |
|
Though the plaster walls |
|
I've worked long and hard for |
|
Are moving in |
|
You will find me sleeping |
|
Without a single soul around |
|
Someone unwinding |
|
In a lonesome part of town |
|
In my best dress and make-up |
|
To meet the night |
|
I can hardly reach the sink |
|
Everything's cock-eyed |
|
To the drunk that |
|
I'm turning into |
|
I've turned into |
|
You will find me sleeping |
|
Without a single soul around |
|
Someone unwinding |
|
In a lonesome part of town |
|
I don't want your sympathy |
|
When I go to speak |
|
Stop and listen to me |
|
Don't turn away |
|
From the words of the gray and aging. |
|
You will find me sleeping |
|
Without a single soul around |
|
Someone unwinding |
|
In a lonesome part of town |
|
Lonesome town. |
