The only one I know, has come to take me away The only one I know, is mine when she stitches me The only one I see, has found an aching in me The only one I see, has turned her tongue into me Everyone has been burned before, everybody knows the pain The only one I know, never cries, never open her eyes The only one I know, wide awake and then she’s away The only one I see, is mine when she walks down our street The only one I see, has carved her way in to me ---

I was walking by the graveyard, late last Friday night, I heard somebody yelling, it sounded like a fight. It was just a drunken hobo dancing circles in the night, Pouring whiskey on the headstones in the blue moonlight. So often have I wondered where these homeless brothers go, Down in some hidden valley were their sorrows cannot show, Where the police cannot find them, where the wanted men can go. There’s freedom when your walking, even though you’re walking slow. Smash your bottle on a gravestone and live while you can, That homeless brother is my friend. ---
