bill morrissey - holden's blues lyrics
[verse 1]
a man goes for a lonesome walk
when he’s got a heavy load
just to find there’s too much talk
and far too little road
[verse 2]
one step forward, one step back
from daylight into dark
it doesn’t matter which bird sings
the nightingale or lark
[chorus]
when this world set sail
i had my passage booked
now i can’t say i found true love
oh, but i can say i looked
[verse 3]
the carnival, it comes to town
the midway lights all burn
how could i keep from spinning ’round?
a pretty girl everywhere you turn
[verse 4]
but summer days pack and move down south
just to make room for the fall
they come running through the wheat and rye
and you cannot catch them all
[chorus]
when this world set sail
i had my passage booked
now i can’t say i found true love
oh, but i can say i looked
[verse 5]
around the world and back again
i’ve seen the best and worst
where madness was a blessed thing
and mercy was a curse
[verse 6]
so dig my grave with a silver spade
make this song my epitaph
and just make sure the digger, he gets paid
and i get the last laugh
[chorus]
when this world set sail
i had my passage booked
now i can’t say i found true love
oh, but i can say i looked
