Ev'ry thing's all right
And then she's all the time in my neighborhood
She cries both day and night
I know it 'cause she was there
It's a milestone but she's down on her luck
And the day makes her lonely
And it's so hard to buck, I was there
I believe that she'd stop him if she'd fine time to care
I believe that she'd look upon beside 'em and care
And I'd go by her now and she's on my way
But I don't belong there
No I don't belong to her
I don't belong to anybody
She's my prize forsaken angel
But she don't hear me cry
She's a lone-hearted mystic
And she can carry on
When I'm there, she's all right
But she's not when I'm gone
Heaven knows she's the answer she don't call on no one
She's a wave, a thing of beauty she's mine for the one
And I'm not hesitating by temptation lest it runs
Which she don't follow me but I'm not there, I'm gone
Now I'll cry tonight, like I cried the night before
And I'll feast on her eyes but I'll dream about the door
So long, Jesus, savior, blind faith worth to tell
It don't have consolation she's my love far thee well
Her smile is contagious I was born to love her
But she knows that the kingdom waits so high above her
And I run but I race but it's not too fast or soon
I'll try and not deceive her I'm not there, I'm gone
It's all about confusion and I cry for her pale
I don't need anybody now beside me to tell
Cause it's all affirmation I've recieved but it's not
I wish I was beside but I'm not there I'm gone
