The moment breaks, the ceiling crashes, down upon the cigarette ashes.
I can't take much more of the stares I get in town.
At nights, I'd feel her stare and, yes, I'll admit - I didn't care.
Now I'm waking up alone on most unhallowed ground.
Now I stumble in the kitchen, I will not fall apart!
My back is broken, it matches my will...
My mind is lost among the dreams I've sewn into the ceiling beams
Which I've been meaning to fix one of these yesterdays.
At nights, I'd feel her touch, and , I'd have to say, it did not mean much!
She's been gone for quite some time
She's been gone for quite some time...
Now I sleep in my shoes, I'm a traveling man
I've got a lot to carry, but nothing to claim
Have I frightened you? Well, good.
I hate being alone!
I'm only as scared as I feel...
I have no shame for what I've done,
For I'm my father's only son.
I'm a legacy, I've got no brother.
And no need for a helping hand.
At nights I feel the floor,
And I think of her and nothing more.
We've all got problems,
Mine was being a man.
