lyrics

Well the highway lights, have all disappeared
And my bed for the night, I'll make it here
I didn't mean to do anybody no wrong
I'm only a singer of songs

Songs are phantasms that drift through my mind
To hide myself in them is the one joy I find
Sound is a forest, and the trees I'm lost among
I'm only a singer of songs.

Life is a train I will ride to the end
Spirit is a smoke, that drifts with no friend
I'm waiting for the stop where I will belong
There is none
Not for a singer of songs

But I once had a woman who loved me half to death
Swore she wouldn't leave til I'd breathed my last breath
But I had to go, for I knew I was doing her wrong
I'm only a singer of songs

If I had a castle, I would pull it right down
If I had some money, I would go into town
Spend it on drinking and wake once again with none,
Go back to singing my songs.

Now the nightingale's voice cuts through the rain
She had no choice and she feels no pain
Me I could have been different, but here I am singing along
I'm only a singer of songs.
