الأغاني: Jackie Greene. Don't Mind Me, I'm Only Dying Slow.

Out from my window, the people are passing on by
I hear them complain but I know that they don?t even try
And the lights down on Main Street don?t shine like they used to
And I?m thinking of nothing but spending a lifetime with you

You know that I love you, you know that I wait by your door
You know how I?m feeling, so I won?t have to feel it no more
But nobody could ever love you like I can
Honey someday you?ll wake up and maybe you?ll understand

Now I got a friend of a friend who drives a nice car
And I got acquaintances down at the neighborhood bar
And I got some women; they stop on by my home
But somehow I always wake up each morning alone

And the train that I ride has nothing aside
From the Phantom Conductor with a dog at his side
And the ghost of a weeping, weddingless bride
Who should have been married but never arrived
And I see through the windows like I see through the lies
Like I see through every useless disguise that
Everyone wears but everyone swears that they don?t
Ah but don?t mind me baby, I?m only dying slow

I?m trying so hard just to forget about you
I try not to care about anything that you do
But four in the morning and I just can?t sleep
The pills ain?t workin and I can?t get no relief

And I feel like a hound dog moaning along with the rain
Any day now, the jukebox could drive me insane
There?s an old man in the corner that nobody knows
He says: ?laugh while you can cause someday you?ll be wearing my clothes?

But I guess I can?t tell you what you don?t already know
And I ain?t no prophet, my landlord he told me so
But my mind is a burning ring of Saturn Flame?
And I feel things inside that I just cant explain

I know that you know how to fake and to take what
You break what you burn what you never did learn
Then you turn and you say that you?ve made a mistake
As your head starts to spin and your heart starts to ache
But all that you make will be all that you get
When the curtain goes down, but don?t you forget
That all your regret is a cheap silhouette and that?s all?
Ah but don?t mind me baby, i'm only dying slow

I met a gambler who did nothing but lose all day
He had love in his hands but he let her slip away
And all he ever wanted was to give her a win
But all she ever really wanted was him
