I Was There

Come on, baby, hold me close

Let me do my best at both

Let me ride, let me roll

I was there to catch a man

I thought I had him by the hand

I only had him by the glove

Come on, baby, let me in

You can show yourself to him

You can show me through the doors

And I was there to catch a man

Thought I had him by the hand

I only had him by the glove

He was there in the road

Picking diamonds from a tree

Heard the wolf coming through

Coming through and coming hard

Tried to leave the heat and gone

Tried to lean against the wall

I'll be there coming clean

Like a runner in the wind

Coming through the morning light

Rising in, in the stone

Tried to leave the heat at home

Running through the morning dim

And I was there to catch a man

I thought I had him by the hand

I only had him by the glove

Come on, baby, let me close

Let me do my best at both

Run through but cuttin' close

Come on, baby, let me in

You can show yourself to him

Ride the road and ride it rough

And in the day, I was gone

Tryin' to leave the heat at home

Runnin' through the road

I was there coming clean

Like a runner in the wind

Coming through the morning light

And you'll be there on the floor

Picking diamonds from a stone

Looking through the totem pole
