Song Lyrics

Well, I walked all night long

Listenin` to them church bells tone

Yes, I walked all night long

Listenin` to them church bells tone

Either someone needing mercy

Or maybe something I`ve done wrong

Well, your friends come by for you

I don`t know what to say

Well, your friends come by for you

I don`t know what to say

I just can`t face up to tell `em

Honey, you just went away

Well, children cry for mother

I tell them, "Mother took a trip"

Well, children cry for mother

I tell them, "Mother took a trip"

Well, I walk on pins and needles

I hope my tongue don`t slip

Well, I gaze at passing strangers

In case I might see you

Yes, I gaze at passing strangers

In case I might see you

But the sun goes around the heavens

And another day just drives on through

Way out in the distance

I know you`re with some other man

Way out in the distance

I know you`re with some other man

But that`s alright, baby

You know I always understand

Call girls in the doorway

All giving me the eye

Call girls in the doorway

All giving me the eye

But my heart`s just not in it

I might as well pass right on by

My ears are ringin`

Ringin` like empty shells

My ears are ringin`

Ringin` like empty shells

Well, it can`t be no guitar player

It must be convent bells
