By townes van zandt

Ribbons of love

Please keep me true sane

Until I reach home on the morrow

Never never to wander again

I'm weak and I'm weary of sorrow

London to dublin

Australia to perth

I gazed at your sky

I tasted your earth

Sung out my heart

For what it was worth

Never again shall I ramble

There's nowhere left

In this world where to go

My arms my legs they're a-tremblin'

Thoughts both clouded and blue as the sky

Not even worth the rememberin'

Now as I stumble

And reel to my bed

All that I've done

All that I've said

Means nothin' to me

I'd soon as be dead

All of this world be forgotten

No words of comfort

No words of advice

Nothin' to offer a stranger

Gone the love gone the spite

It just doesn't matter no longer

My sky's getting far

The ground's gettin' close

My self goin' crazy

The way that it does

I'll lie on my pillow

And sleep if I must

Too late to wish I'd been stronger

Too late to wish I'd been stronger
