Kathleen Songtext
von David Gray

I lay down my head by the wayside
My worn out shoes
Quite why she went I can′t decide
But I sure could use
One plate of food steaming and hot
Clean linen and
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
Won't hurt a bit
Telling myself I could be strong
Some such brave bullshit
Trucks are roaring by I'm a red ghost
In the tail light gleam
I′m a tumbleweed I′m a sped rose
Turning in your field
Oh my darling Kathleen

Cars they sound like waves they were breaking
On some desolate shore
I gazed so long into the great aching sky
Seemed like I wasn't here no more
My rushing blood was a river
My eyes two stars
My blowing hair all a quiver
Whispering field of grass
That murmurs as you pass
Oh my darling Kathleen
Whispers out your name
Oh my darling Kathleen
Oh my darling Kathleen
