Lyrics: D. Klein Music: D. Schoufs / D. Klein / J.M. Gielen
Don’t go looking for him lady Don’t go looking for him now He’ll be sailing ’cross the Ocean By the time you turn around All he carries is his pride, He has nothing to his name What he’s leaving you behind, Is the burdon of the blame Don’t go looking for him lady He’s far gone now
Don’t go looking for him lady Don’t go looking for him now He’s somewhere across the border In some lonely, little town A tattoo on his arm, Is all that will remain Of a lady with no heart Playing stupid little games Don’t go looking for him lady He’s far gone now
And now you’re gazing at the moon Humming melancholic lines Burning candles in your room As if to see the light
Don’t go looking for him lady Don’t go looking for him now He’ll be over the horizon By the time you come around You can stare out at the sky, Building castles in the air He won’t be coming back this time, There’ll be no answer to your prayers Don’t go looking for him lady He’s far gone now
And now you’re gazing at the moon Humming melancholic lines Burning candles in your room As if to see the light
Don’t go looking for him lady Don’t go looking for him now There’s no need to be sorry for yourself, It don’t matter anyhow Don’t go looking for him lady He’s far gone now Don’t go looking for him lady He’s far gone now
