Won't Come Looking for Me
David Abel
Mountains will move when I will shake them loose with the heel of my boot
Like you never knew I could
Trees will bow and when the dust settles I'll be disappeared
And it won't do you any good, no it won't
Won't do you no good
Crying tears is wasting water
Won't do you no good
Apologising like you ought to
Won't do you no good
Trying to track me down I told you
I'll be hiding like a crow in a cabbage tree
Where you won't come looking for me
Season's in bloom and is this what it's come to? Was I fool?
Was I simpleton?
Lilac and dew and one more how do you do now it's understood
That it won't do you any good, no it won't
Won't do you no good
Leaving the latch off you mama's back door
Won't do you no good
Dressing up how I liked it before
Won't do you no good
Explaining to me what swimming is for
I'll be sinking like a stone in a lonely sea
Where you won't come looking for me
And I will dry my bones like a buzzard dries its wings
I will cry out to the moon like a coyote sings
Well I never said I could be a humble king
And it won't do you any good, thinking about such things
No it won't
Won't do you no good
Scaling walls and toppling boulders
Won't do you no good
Climbing up on Atlas's shoulders
Won't do you no good
Knowing what the direction I took down the road is
I'll be flying like a leaf on a morning breeze
Where you won't come looking for me
