Even if I knew which way the wind was blowin' Even if I knew this road would lead me home Even if I knew for once where I was goin' I'm lost out here without you Rockin' the baby by that window here Plant tomatoes in the yard Naked by the mirror putting up your hair Baby it's hard And the kids came to see you for the last time I told them not to bring the children the husbands or the wife I said just the blood this time, just the blood They asked to be alone with you, so I left them alone But I didn't go far They said he's been drinking again He stumbled at the door He can't take care of himself mama We can't do this anymore And you said hush up children let me breath
I've been listening to you all your life Are they hungry? Are they sick? What is it they need? Now it's turn to listen to me I was young when we met and afraid of the world Now it's he who's afraid and I'm leaving Make sure he sleeps in his bed at night Don't let him sleep in that chair If he holds out his hand to you Hold it tight that makes you uncomfortable Or if it embarra**es you, I don't care Even if I knew which way the wind was blowin' Even if I knew this road would lead me home Even if I knew for once where I was goin' I'm lost out here baby, I'm lost out here I'm lost out here without you
