Endless Wire Songtext
von Gordon Lightfoot

I ain′t got nothin' to hide
My mind is an endless wire
I got both feet on the ground
I ain′t got no one for hire
I ain't got a thing to show
My lives have all expired
So don't go foolin′ around
An′ set my wheels afire

Down in the dark of a burnt out soul
There's a few good second hand dreams
Deep in the dark of a heavenly night with you
Down in the black of a bottomless hole
There′s a few good second hand scenes
Deep in the dark of a heavenly blue
Where the sea runs green


I ain't got nothin′ to give
My life is an endless climb
My love's a paperback dream
I don′t have nothin' but time
I ain't got a thing to show
I don′t know my own name
So don′t go foolin' around
An′ set my wheels aflame

Down in the dark of a beat out soul
There's a few good second hand dreams
Deep in the dark of a heavenly night with you
Down in the black of a bottomless hole
There′s a few good second hand scenes
Deep in the dark of a heavenly blue
Where the sea runs green

I ain't got nothin′ to hide
My mind is an endless wire
I got both feet on the ground
I don't have no one for hire
I ain't got a thing to show
My life is an endless rhyme
My love′s a paperback dream
I ain′t got nothin' but time
