There must be some kind of way out of hereSaid the joker to the thiefThere's too much confusionI can't get no reliefBusinessmen, they drink my winePlowmen dig my earthNone will level on the lineNobody of it is worth No reason to get excitedThe thief he kindly spokeThere are many here among usWho feel that life is but a jokeBut you and I, we've been through thatAnd this is not our fateSo let us not talk falsely nowThe hour's getting late, hey All along the watchtowerPrinces kept the viewWhile all the women came and wentBarefoot servants too Outside in the cold distanceA wild cat did growlTwo riders were approachingAnd the wind began to howl, hey All along the watchtowerAll along the watchtower

After all the jacks are in their boxesAnd the clowns have all gone to bedYou can hear happiness staggering on down the streetFootprints dressed in redAnd the wind whispers Mary A broom is drearily sweepingUp the broken pieces of yesterday's lifeSomewhere a queen is weepingSomewhere a king has no wifeAnd the wind, it cries Mary The traffic lights, they turn, uh, blue tomorrowAnd shine their emptiness down on my bedThe tiny island sags downstream'Cause the life that lived is, is deadAnd the wind screams Mary Will the wind ever rememberThe names it has blown in the past?And with this crutch, its old age, and its wisdomIt whispers no, this will be the lastAnd the wind cries Mary

Angel came down from heaven yesterdayShe stayed with me just long enough to rescue meAnd she told me a story yesterday,About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue seaAnd then she spread her wings high over meShe said she's gonna come back tomorrow And I said, "Fly on my sweet angel,Fly on through the sky,Fly on my sweet angel,Tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side" Sure enough this morning came unto meSilver wings silhouetted against the child's sunriseAnd my angel she said unto me,"Today is the day for you to riseTake my hand, you're gonna be my man,You're gonna rise"And then she took me high over yonder And I said, "Fly on my sweet angel,Fly on through the sky,Fly on my sweet angel,Forever I will be by your side"

The morning is deadAnd the day is, tooThere's nothing left here to meet meBut the velvet moonAll my loneliness I have felt todayIt's a little more than enoughTo make a man throw himself awayAnd I continueTo burn the midnight lamp, alone Now the smiling portrait of youIs still hangin' on my frowning wallIt really doesn't, really doesn't bother me too much at allIt's just the ever falling dustThat makes it so hard for me to seeThat forgotten earring layin' on the floorFacing coldly towards the doorI continueTo burn the midnight lamp, alone Loneliness is such a drag So here I sit to faceThat same old fire placeGettin' ready for the same old explosionGoin' through my mindAnd soon enough time will tell,About the serpents in the wishing wellAnd someone who will buy and sell for meSomeone to toll my bellAnd I continueTo burn the same ol' lamp, aloneYeah!Darlin', can't ya hear me callin' you?So lonelyGonna blow my mindYeah, yeah, lonely, lonely...
