original rock
Lyrics
Moon light on the water
a haze along the shore
a dead man in the river
Just can’t take it anymore
Oh my body’s restless in the night
And I hear voices in the wind
I can’t stay I’ve got to distance myself
I need asylumfrom the state of mind I’m in
I’ll head on down now to the station
with this old bag across my back
got no plan or reservation
I know I won’t be coming back
Oh I feel the danger here tonight
like no place I’ve ever been
Shadows lingering long into the night
I need asylum from this hell I’m living in
and one eyed Sadie said
I only look like half the man I used to be
when did these changes come
that drained out all the life, I had inside of me
I’ve tried to put it all behind me
I've got nothing left to say
no one ever tried to find me
I’ll be gone by light of day
Oh I hear the screaming in the night
I feel the blood rush through in my veins
I can’t stay I’ve got to distance myself
I need asylum from this hell I’m living in
won't you come and see me off now
on this dark cold winters day
I don’t need a better reason
than I live through day to day
Oh my body’s trembling inside
the fear is coming back again
I have to go I’ve got to get the hell away
I need asylum from this state of mind I’m in
And One eyed Sadie said
she only sees one half the man I use to be
she watched these changes come
and drain out all the life I had inside of me
Can you hear me I think I’ve found a way
I’ve been down so long
no chance in hell now that I’ll turn the other way
I think I know where I belong
Oh my body’s restless every night
and I hear voices in the wind
I can’t stay I have to distance myself
I need asylumfrom this hell I’m living in
If it’s not meant to be
You’ll never force the the outcome that you want to see
but if it’s meant to be
there’s nothing that can hold back what will always be
