once i walked a thousand miles through the sun and rain found someone who made me smile took away my pain we arranged to meet again in a southern town when i called her mother up she was not around looking out across the sky you can see the same as i giving all your fears away you will cease to stumble on your way once i had a silver girl all my hearts desire living in a different world who put out the fire now the pain is almost gone now the deed is done with another l alone simply means all one looking out across the sky you can see the same as i giving all your fears away you will cease to stumble on your way once there was a younger man standing in my shoes had a guitar in his hand in his heart the blues tried to heal the wound inside did some heavy drinkin had to swallow all his pride knew the ship was sinkin looking out across the sky you can see the same as i giving all your fears away you will cease to stumble on your way
