One of those nights
You see it in your dreams
Words anticipating
You don’t know where I lead (?)
On the corner of 40/49th
Ain’t nothing to be seen
This is where he lives

The pain gets worse
But I ignore it
It don’t really hurt
If there ain’t a pill for it
I see so many but I’ve burnt (?)
The end of it all
(My?)Love’s to be resisted
You gotta be responsible
You meet someone
She’s talking about the colour of her hair
You got the loneliest… (?)
He’s trying to step in/It’s time to step in (?)

Charley told me that he didn’t understand
How that he’d do anything but sing in a band (he
wanted to sing)
I said Charley
I still wear the scars
I’ve let my emotions ride too in m…(?) bar
Something had to stop me
Something had to make me keep it in

Cheered by the cause/call (?)
Of so much thinking
‘Sides some singers are damn well depressing
So much to say
She’d buy ten stories a day
We’ll take wing with the west wind if you’re going
that way

Charley told me that he didn’t understand
You know I said Charley
I still wear the scars
Let my emotions ride too in m…(?) bar
Something had to stop me
Something had to make me keep it in

Everything new carries its threat
I work myself over
I’m so deep in debt
I’ve stopped working
I’m waiting for the change
This…gives you …(?) baby
Here come the rain

Charley told me that he didn’t understand
You know I said Charley
I still wear the scars
Let my emotions ride too in m…(?) bar
Something had to stop me
Something had to make me keep it in
Something had to make me keep it in
