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
