Sullen Soul

I'm riding again in search of the motherload

I'm needing a friend but wanting to be alone

I'm lying on the lawn staring at stars again

I wonder aloud when did it all begin

You and my stars are in my head

I cannot feel for mother time

Warm winds dry my tears today

Sullen soul will sleep tonight, tonight

I walk into town looking for remedies

The sun and the fog come from fallen trees

The wind and the rain are falling on harder times

The poet's confused searching for better lines

You and my stars are in my head

I cannot feel for mother time

Warm winds dry my tears today

Sullen soul will sleep tonight, tonight

I stagger tonight through weeds and mountain tops

Feeling my age like cars in a body shop

I lay down to sleep in your roofless shed

I'll keep my stars, I'll keep my heavy head

You and my stars are in my head

I cannot feel for mother time

Warm winds dry my tears today

Sullen soul will sleep tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight
