The Unmasked Joker Songtext
von Long Tall Jefferson

I must have had my head in dreams while the times have changed
It feels like I lost my part while the world was rearranged
Every morning I lie in bed there′s so much empty space
There's something missing, something big that I just can′t replace

Baby baby, where've you gone
I miss you bad, I feel alone
Baby baby, where've you gone
I′m begging you now, please come home

Where have all the wise words gone I used to have in store
And those jokes fall back on me from
The walls since you don′t laugh anymore
When I come home late at night there's no-one else to talk
And it breaks my heart I turn around go for another walk


I used to play tricks on you
I had an ace in the hole when we were playing cards
And all this time I thought you knew
That the unmasked joker was the King of Hearts, oh

Baby baby, where′ve you gone
I miss you bad, I feel alone
Baby baby, where've you gone
I′m begging you now, please come home

Some friends have called me on the phone they think I'm going insane
Sending postcards to myself and sign them with your name
They say I should take a break go on holidays
But I know your ghost would haunt my soul in any goddamn place

Baby baby, where′ve you gone
I miss you bad, I feel alone
Baby baby, where've you gone
I'm begging you now, please come home
