Kathleen Lyrics

	David Gray - Kathleen
	Lay down my head by the wayside
	My worn out shoes
	Quite why she went I can’t decide
	Yeah but I sure could use
	One plate of food steaming and hot
	Clean linen ironed
	On a fresh made bed but I ain’t got
	One salty dime, one salty dime
	One salty dime
	Just close your eyes it won’t take long
	It won’t hurt a bit
	Telling myself I could be strong
	Or some such brave bullshit
	Trucks are roaring by I’m a red ghost
	In their tail light gleam
	I’m a tumbleweed, I’m a spit roast
	Just turning in your flame
	Oh my darlin’ Kathleen
	Cars they sound like waves that are breaking
	On some distant shore
	I gazed so hard into the great aching sky
	It seemed that I, I wasn’t here no more
	That my rushing blood was a river
	My eyes two stars
	My blowing hair all a quiver
	A whispering field of grass
	That murmurs as you pass
	Oh my darlin’ Kathleen
	That whispers out your name
	Oh my darlin’ Kathleen
	Oh my darlin’ Kathleen
