I am like a child all alone on a Christmas day as a man whose love has gone astray
I am a leaf floating round on a windy day or a drunk who ain’t got nothing to say
Chorus
I am the song that I sing when I’m feeling blue on the day that I lost you
I am a train rolling on down a midnight track pretty soon pretty girl I’m gonna get you back, get you back
Like a wave rolling in on an empty beach like a man whose lost the power of speech
like a priest in a church no one came to see or a man sailing on who is lost at sea
Chorus
All alone in the midnight hour my guitar and me
calling out through the ether to you I bet you are thinking of me too
Like a snowball thrown on a summers day or a firework lit on a rainy day
I am the Indian chief who lost his pipe I’m Captain Ahab with a whale in sight
Chorus
