I've been wondering what to do I'd give anything to talk to you I've been thinking some peaceful thoughts Open windows and hear four knots Michael, I've been a sad case Michael, I've been a sad case When St. Louis turns off its lights I will talk to you through the night We won't break anybody's backs Let's just keep our eyes on the cracks Michael, I've been a sad case Michael, I've been a sad case It takes a lot of time And it takes a little bit of cryin' To get your mind off It takes a lot of time
And it takes a little bit of cryin' To get your mind off I've been walking past the place In West Florence, an avenue None of them remember me And none of them remember you One thing at a time goes Through my mind One thing at a time goes Alright It takes a lot of time And it takes a little bit of cryin' To get your mind off It takes a lot of time And it takes a little bit of cryin' To get your mind off Michael, I've been a sad case Michael, I've been a sad case
