i'm walking down that long lonesome road, babe where i'm bound, i can't tell goodbye is too good a word, gal so i'll just say "fare thee well" i ain't saying you treated me unkind you could have done better but i don't mind you just kind of wasted my precious time but don't think twice, it's all right --bob dylan
many's the time i've been mistaken and many times confused yes and i've often felt forsaken and certainly misused but it's all right it's all right i'm just weary to my bones still, you don't expect to be bright and bon vivant so far away from home so far away from home
oh the sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone. they were waiting for me when i thought that i just can't go on. and they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song. oh i hope you run into them, you who've been traveling so long.
yes you who must leave everything that you cannot control. it begins with your family, but soon it comes around to your soul. well i've been where you're hanging, i think i can see how you're pinned: when you're not feeling holy, your loneliness says that you've sinned.
they lay down beside me, i made my confession to them. they touched both my eyes and i touched the dew on their hem. if your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn, they will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem.
when i left they were sleeping. i hope you run into them soon. don't turn on the lights, you can read their address by the moon. and it won't make me jealous if i hear that they sweetened your night. we weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right.
