Los Lobos - Short Side Of Nothing lyrics

Dreams wash down the gutter All my hopes in vain Crows up on the rooftop Laughing out my name Here I am on the short side of nothing Here I am on the short side of nothing We danced all night as life stood by We told another lie Found a spot down by the roadside There I closed my eyes And here I am on the short side of nothing Here I am on the short side of nothing All alone, all alone Can't find my way home Summer has come and the heat hangs low No escape in sight Sirens scream and lovers moan Just like any other night And here I am on the short side of nothing Here I am on the short side of nothing All alone, all alone Can't find my way home
