Out from my window across from the city
I have what’s considered a good view Two blocks from the subway, three from the fountain Where I walk to break in new shoes She stands on the sidewalk just waving at taxis Like horses in parades in passing I ask where she’s headed she tells me, ‘Ohio, I’ve not seen my mother in ages It’s been a long time, a real long time.’ a real long time.. ... Out from my window ‘How far is Ohio?’ She laughed and pointed out east She said, ‘I grew up there with my dear mother And I haven’t seen her since thirteen. You see, I was taken while she lay sleeping By my father’s hired man We moved to the city so far from my family I haven’t been back there since. It’s been a long time, a real long time.’ a real long time.. Out from my window please hear me Ohio Your daughter wants to come home She longs to be with you to hug you to kiss you To never leave her alone And I’ve gotten know her to live with to love her It’s hard to see her leave She belongs to her mother and the state of Ohio I wish she belonged to me See you sometime, see you sometime... |

I would come out just see you
Dancing freely by the sunset Like the sun you’d shine brightly We’d spend hours by the curbside Telling stories under streetlights How your words would amaze me Now those days are gone Slowly they slip away Now those days are gone Slowly.. ... I still go out by the old house Where I met you our first summer Where are you now, you’re with another I am sitting by the curbside Where we’d hang out under streetlights How those times still are with me Now those days are gone Slowly they slip away Now those days are gone Slowly.. |

Goodbye angel hands in your pockets
Maybe tomorrow maybe you’ll come back sometime She boards a Greyhound, a ticket to Jersey A grey-colored backpack full of all her belongings There’s a kiss from the window, tells me she loves me And how she’s sending letters and drawings But the letters never came So I waited by the phone to hear it ring... Goodbye angel hands in your pockets Maybe tomorrow maybe you’ll call me sometime Small time still city she one day calls me Tells me she’s married, I took it badly Moments of silence, sounds of her laughing When are you sending letters and drawings But the letters never came So I waited by the phone to hear it ring.... Goodbye angel hear you’re successfull Maybe tomorrow, well maybe you’ll come back sometime Hands in your pockets here’s where you left me Only with memories when we were just sixteen But the letters never came So I waited by the phone to hear it ring...... |

You don’t love me that way
The words that you say Make it obvious now Why try pretending you care When feelings aren’t there Just be honest with me It’s not getting easier With the two of us just standing here Knowing we don’t love the same love the same... I said, ‘Don’t feel ashamed Feelings just change It’s so clear to me now. Don’t cry you can’t deny Both of us tried for each other.’ It’s not getting easier With the two of us just standing here Knowing we don’t love the same love the same... Mmmm You don’t love me that way The words that you say Make it obvious now |

Saturday
Blue eyes fading Not a word, not one You will say ‘It all has changed me.’ Now you’ve gone Nothing left to see Saturday Sad eyes closing Not a tear, not one You will say, ‘Love can change me.’ And you were wrong To think it could |

She spends her time with other boys
He spends his time fixing cars She doesn’t mind that he’s gone It gives her more time to talk He’ll come around when he’s bored And she’ll pay him no mind ‘We must stop meeting like this,’ He said with a grin while walking in And she just slammed the door in his face ‘We must stop meeting like this,’ He said with a grin while walking in And she just slammed the door in his face I’ll see you around.. I’ll see you around sometime..x2 .. She hangs her coat on the door He hangs his head on her hopes She sleeps alone with her thoughts She dreams of good times He’ll come around when he’s old She’ll pay him no mind ‘We must stop meeting like this, Coming to bed with no words said Makes it tougher on both of us.’..x2 And I’ll see you around... I’ll see you around sometime....x2 ... It used to be much better than this......... It used to be so much better than this It used to be.. |

I’ll come down tomorrow morning
And meet you at our new location In front of City Bookstore Across the street from the railway station She tells me how her night was spent Nursing coffee and cigarettes You waited til your husband left To pack your things and off you went He wouldn’t notice that you’d left Til morning when the drink wore off He stayed out all night with his friends Never to return again In front of City Bookstore Across the street from the railway station You show up with your suitcase Ten dollars and a sad expression She tells me that it’s all over now She’s done her time and now she’s out From the prison that she calls a house Where she stayed put while he went out She left him a note taped to the door Saying, ‘Babe I won’t be back no more I can’t find reasons for me to stay Married to you and your cheating ways.’ Walked her out to the train Couldn’t hide my pain Or these tears that flow From my eyes like rain That September morning, 1959 |
