Got a message in my head
that the papers had all gone
Richard Manuel is dead
And the daylight´s coming on
I´ve been wandering through the dark
now I´m standing on the lawn

If I could give all my love to you
I could justify myself
but I´m just not coming through
You´re a pill to ease the pain
of all the stupid things I do
I´m an anchor on the line
of a clock that tells the time
that is running out on you
Well it was cold when i woke
and the day was halfway done
Nearly spring in San Francisco
but I cannot feel the sun
you were sleeping next to me
but I knew that you´d be gone

If I could give all my love to you
I could justify myself
but I´m just not coming through
You´re a pill to ease the pain
of all the stupid things I do
I´m an anchor on the line
of a clock that tells the time
that is running out on you
Take some time before you go
think of monday´s coming down
and the people that you knew
The ones that aren´t around
you´ve been fading day to day
I´ve been moving town to town

If I could give all my love to you
I could justify myself
but I´m just not coming through
You´re a pill to ease the pain
of all the stupid things i do
I´m an anchor on the line
of a clock that tells the time
that is running out on you
