The Waterloo Blues
1988-02-21
tonight i feel you across the time zones
you said our love could never scale these walls
and i say, "what walls?"
paul says seeing you is just what i needed
but there ain't no so such thing
i've still got the pillow
you gave me for my head
still got the sheets you put on my bed
broken knife in one hand, axe in the other
who is this girl i've nailed my heart to?
she's my baby
whatever that means
oh yeah...
but baby don't worry about me
just watch me go
i crossed the ocean just to walk you to school
to walk your streets of on-going traffic
to invade your subway
to sing my songs in places that you play
to wake you where you lay...alone
now, these nights - a million thoughts, a million
books to read, a million chords to play - god, it
feels like i'm trying to grab fish out of a waterfall
meanwhile birds sing sunrise on pearman st.
sweet old houses in rows
where new shadows old
and i swear it's always morning there
but, oh yeah
don't worry about me
just watch me go
you,
you've gotten more of me that anybody
hell, i crossed the ocean just to walk you to school
just to take your abuse
and now it feels like i gotta travel
yeah, really go
go so far that when i get back
it won't be me
and i never knew it could feel so sad to be free
but, oh yeah
don't worry about me
just watch me go...
