  • Lay down my head by the wayside
    My worn out shoes
    Quite why she went I can't decide
    Yeah but I sure could use
    One plate of food steaming and hot
    Clean linen ironed
    On a fresh made bed but I ain't got
    One salty dime, one salty dime

    Just close your eyes, it won't take long
    It won't hurt a bit
    Telling myself I could be strong
    Or some such brave bullshit
    Trucks are roaring by, I'm a red ghost
    In their tail light gleam
    I'm a tumbleweed, I'm a spit roast
    Turning in your flame
    Oh my darlin' Kathleen

    Cars they sound like waves that are breaking
    On some distant shore
    I gazed so long into the great aching sky
    It seemed like I wasn't here no more

    My rushing blood was a river
    My eyes two stars
    My blowing hair all a quiver
    A whispering field of grass
    That murmurs as you pass
    Oh my darlin' Kathleen
    That whispers out your name
    Oh my darlin' Kathleen
    Oh my darlin' Kathleen Writer/s: DAVID GRAY
