Well, I was searchin' by myself | |
Singin' old songs, see if they help | |
I took the low way along the sea | |
Met an older man and he said to me .. ' | |
Sing me a song, son, lay it down' ' | |
Bring it forth then stand your ground' | |
It smelled like winter, it all felt fine | |
In that dry bone hazy late | |
November time. | |
He said : ' | |
I've known high times, more than once' ' | |
Now I stick strictly to the honky tonks' ' | |
And I've known danger and | |
I've known defeat' ' | |
I've seen whole generations fall to sleep'. ' | |
I've danced with angels, | |
I've drank my fill' ' | |
I've talked with | |
God out on the hill' ' | |
And I know my face but | |
I live my name' ' | |
But I go by | |
Charlie Hawker all the same'. | |
Where are you goin' tonight ? | |
Where are you goin' so late ? | |
Your country needs you, boy, don't wait | |
Where are you goin'Â ? | |
Where are you goin'Â ? | |
And then he stopped : ' | |
Come here to me' ' | |
So that I can look at you, so that | |
I can see' | |
But then he smiled, he let me know | |
And in that space lies all the things | |
I'll never know. | |
And then the sun sank in the | |
West He said : ' | |
Boy, you know you may never be at rest' | |
I turned around to face the light | |
And with a heavy heart | |
I walked into the night. | |
Where are you goin' tonight ? | |
Where are you goin' so late ? | |
Your country needs you, boy, don't wait | |
Where are you goin'Â ? | |
Where are you goin'Â ? | |
La la la la, la la la, ... |
