Things are crashing down She's all too tight In my neighborhood She cried both day and night I know it because it was there
It's a milestone But she's down on her luck And the day makes her lonely But to make it hard to buck, now and then
I believe that she'd stop him If she would start to care I believe that she'd look upon His side that used to care And I'd go by the Lord Anywhere she's on my way But I don't belong there
No I don't belong to her I don't belong to any body She's my Christ-forsaken angel But she don't hear me cry She's a lone-hearted mystic And she can't carry on When I'm there, she's all right But she's not when I'm gone
Heaven knows that the answer She don't calling no one She's the way, forsaken beauty For she's mine, for the one And I lost her, hesitation By temptation as it runs But she don't holler me But I'm not there, I'm gone
Now I'll cry tonight Like I cried the night before And I'm knees on the hassle But I'll dream about the door It's so long, she's forsaken By her faith, worse to tell It don't have contonation She smiles, fare thee well
Now when I treat to leave 'er I was born to love her But she knows that the kingdom awaits So high above her And I run a better race But it's not too fast still But I don't perceive her I'm not there, I'm gone
Well it's all about diffusion And I cry for her veil I don't need anybody now Beside me to tell And it's all affirmation I receive but it's not She's a lone-hearted beauty But she don't like a spot And she calls
Yeah, she's gone like the rain Below the shining yesterday But now she's home beside me And I'd like her here to stay She's a lone, forsaken beauty And it don't trust anyone And I wish I was beside her But I'm not there, I'm gone
Well, it's too hard to stay here And I don't want to leave It's so bad, for so few See, but she's a heart too hard to need It's alone, it's a crime The way she mauls me around But she don't fall to hate me But tears are gone, a painted clown
Yes, I believe that it's rightful Oh, I believe it in my mind I've been told like I said one night before Carry on the cryin' And the sole gypsy told her Like I said, carry on I wish I was there to help her But I'm not there, I'm gone
