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
