Ain't No Music
I woke last night in a fever
My mind was feeling all confused
I swore I heard the back door open
And I thought for a minute it was you
That's when all feelings, well, they hit me
Like I stepped into an oncoming train
And from the deepest part of me I am yearning
Like the earth when she's yearning for the rain
And there ain't no music when she's gone, lord, lord
There ain't no music when she's gone
There ain't no music when she's gone, lord, lord
There ain't no music when she's gone
And the crows in the field, they are calling
And the grey is on the winter grass
And the heart is such a vast wilderness
And the way is very rough and very fast
And the sun is tired and sleepy
And the moon says she's feeling blue
And I'm tempted every hour by the whiskey
And I don't know what the hell I'm going to do
And there ain't no music when she's gone, lord, lord
There ain't no music when she's gone
There ain't no music when she's gone, lord, lord
There ain't no music when she's gone
I had a dream last evening
We were standing in Yachts by the sea
The ocean below, it was a-breaking
And you were standing so close to me
You lifted up your arms to take a picture
And then the camera fell into the waves
I woke up to a storm raging
And the image blurred and went away
And there ain't no music when she's gone, lord, lord
There ain't no music when she's gone
There ain't no music when she's gone, lord, lord
There ain't no music when she's gone
