I'm Not There

Things all crash in there She's all too tight In my neighborhood She cried both day and night It's a milestone But she's down on her luck The days make her so lonely And it's so hard to buck Now and then I believe that she'd stop him If she'd find time to care I believe that she may look upon The side who used to care And I go by the Lord Anywhere she's on my way But I don't belong there No, I don't belong to her I don't belong to every choir She's my Christ forsaken angel But she didn't hear me cry She's a lone-hearted mystic And she can't carry on When I'm there she's alright But then she's not when I'm gone Heaven knows that the answer She don't con no one She's the way forsaken beauty She is mine for the one And I lost her hesitating By temptation as it runs But she don't holler me I'm not there, I'm gone Now I'll cry tonight Like I cried the night before And I'll fleece down the highway But I'll dream about the door It's so long, she's forsaken By her fate worse to tell It don't have approximation She smiled fare thee well Her smile is contagious I was born to love her But she knows that the kingdom Waits so high above her And I run but I race But it's not too fast to stand But I got the fever I'm not there, I'm gone Well, it's all about diffusion As I cry for her veil I don't need anybody now Beside me to tell And it's all affirmation I receive but it's not She's a lone hearted beauty But she don't like the spot And she calls Yeah, she's gone like the rainbow That was shining yesterday But she's home now beside me And I'd like her to stay She's a lone forsaken beauty And she don't trust no one And I wish I was beside her But I'm not there, I'm gone Well, it's too hard to stay here And I don't wanna leave It's so hard for so few Some impressions hard Too hard to read It's so low, it's a crime The way she mauls me around But she don't phone to hate me But it's down to make a clown Yes, I believe that it's rightful I believe it in my mind I've been told like I said before "Carry on, goodbye" Yes, the soul gypsy told her Like I said, "Carry on" I wish I was there to help her But I'm not there, I'm gone
