Potatomen - Sam's Song lyrics
The party is over and everyone's asleep I wander silently along the empty street Past miles of lonely houses where no one seems to live My brain is full of crazy dreams and it's leaking like a sieve The cars go by on Fourth Street but they don't ever stop Like drivers on the road to hell just dying to get off And the sadness washes over me until I feel like I might drop On the sidewalks of my old town The whistle blows down at the mill another shift's begun The workers stumble to their jobs their dreams already done But me I've got nowhere to go nowhere I've gotta be Just an empty room that I call home where nobody waits for me And the fog rolls in from off the bay like I guess it always will And swallows up the rich folks' houses up on Humboldt Hill And the lights go down across the town and everything grows still In the silence of my old town But something in these sad old streets I still don't understand Keeps me crawling on into the night Keeps me wondering why with my head up in the sky So many things still seem so out of sight Sometimes I think I'll pack my bags and set out for the south Like all my friends before me they just couldn't wait to get out But then I think I'll stay right here at least a little while For in all this sorrow I've still found a few reasons to smile And then I'll go down to the water's edge on a stormy winter's night And watch the wind from across the sea turn the wavetops white Then the rain comes down and drowns the sound and everything seems right On the sidewalks of my old town |
