Can I stay here for a while Landlady
Just a corner of the room
A blanket and a curfew
And I'll be light when I'm out
I'll be quiet as a mouse
Town and country
But if I stay too long
Or if I'm of and on
The combinations wrong
So I've tried in my way
To break what I am bound to
But their are chains and their are ties
I just never got around to
And it's fine sometimes to leave it all behind
And start it over
But when it's said and done
No matter where you run
You're gonna owe someone
Landlady
So I try to keep it light
Keep my mind off of winter
But it's few and far between
When I make gold from tin and timber
But give me a little time and I can straighten out
Give me a little time and I can make it right
Give me a little time and I can pay it back
