Tom Waits - Poncho's Lament Lyrics
Well the stairs sound so lonely without youAnd I aint made my bed in a weekCoffee stains on the paper Im writingAnd Im too choked up inside to speakAnd yes, I know our differences pulled us apartNever spoke a word heart to heartAnd Im glad that youre goneBut I wish to the lord that youd come homeAnd Im glad that youre goneGot the feeling so strongAnd Im glad that youre goneBut I wish to the lord that youd come homeWell my guitar still plays your favorite songThough the strings have been outta tune for some timeEvery time I strum a cord, I pray out to the lordThat youll quit your honkey-tonkin sing my songAnd Im glad that youre goneGot the feeling so strongAnd Im glad that youre goneBut I wish to the lord that youd come homeSo Ill throw another log onto the fireAnd Ill admit Im a lousy liarAs the coals die down and flickerI hear that guitar pickerPlay the song we used to sing so long agoIm glad that youre goneGot the feeling so strongAnd Im glad that youre goneBut I wish to the lord that youd come homeAnd Im glad, damn glad youre goneGot the feeling so strongAnd Im glad that youre goneBut I wish to the lord that youd come home
