Even if I knew which way the wind was blowing Even if I knew this road would lead me home Even if I knew for once where I was going I'm lost out here without you
Rocking the baby by that window there Planting tomatoes in the yard Naked by the mirror putting up your hair Baby, it's hard
When the kids came to see you for the last time I told them not to bring the children The husbands, or the wife I said, "Just the blood this time. Just the blood." They asked to be alone with you So I left them alone, but I didn't go far
They said, "Has he been drinking again? He stumbled at the door He can't take care of himself, Mama We can't do this anymore."
You said, "Hush up, children Let me breathe I've been listening to you all your life Are they hungry, are they sick? What is it they need? Now it's your turn to listen to me
"I was young when we met And afraid of the world Now it's he who's afraid And I'm leaving
"Make sure he sleeps in his bed at night Don't let him sleep in that chair If he holds out his hand to you, hold it tight If that makes you uncomfortable Or if it embarrasses you I don't care."
Even if I knew which way the wind was blowing Even if I knew this road would lead me home Even if I knew for once where I was going I'm lost out here Baby, I'm lost out here I'm lost out here without youTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
