Lyrics

Lyrics

Like a blue bird with his heart removed, lonely as a train
I've run just as far as I can run
If I never see the good old days shinin' in the sun
I'll be doin' fine and then some
But how long, how long
Woman will you weep
How long, how long
Rock yourself to sleep
Well, you'll be doin' time in lonesome prison, where the sun don't shine
Just outside, the freedom river runs
Out there in that shiny night, with blood hounds on your mind
Don't you know it's the same sad situation?
Tell me, how long, how long
Woman will you weep
How long, how long
Rock yourself to sleep
Everybody seems alright you know, I heard some poor fool say (Somebody, ooh)
But everyone is out there on the loose
Well, I wish I lived in the land of fools and no one knew my name
What you get is not quite what you choose
Tell me, how long, how long
Woman will you weep
How long, how long
Rock yourself to sleep
How long, how long
The Muddy River runs so deep
Tell me, how long, how long
Good night baby, rock yourself to sleep
Oh sweet surrender, rock yourself to sleep
B-B-B-Bye bye baby, rock yourself to sleep
