lyrics

Tell me oh tell me, where do you go
When you leave in the evenings from your high painted window

Cause I'd stand there for hours and I'd stand there for days
Just trying to find a way to your heart's inner maze

Said you didn't love no vagrants, so I got me some work
Down at the courthouse as a lowly clerk

But I could haven't your time and I couldn't have your smile
Cause I was more like a crocodile in wait in the Nile

Then I worked in the parlor and I played in the band
Couldn't get close enough to ever take hold of your hand

Fell off a freight train, fell down walking the line
Fell in some whiskey and I damn near died

Tell me, oh tell me where do you go
When you leave in the evening from your high painted window

Down on the corner, died in the street
Don't see nobody just the police and me

If you would just lend me your lily white hand
Think we could find our way to the promised land

But you gave me no answer and you gave no reply
So I loaded my shotgun and I'm waiting for you outside

Tell me, oh tell me just where do you go
When you leave in the evenings from your high painted window

When you leave in the evening from your high painted window
