lyrics

Your Deep And Quiet Soul

I need the touch of a lady and a mother’s smile
When the distances i’ve come to can’t be measured out in miles Standin like a hobo in borrowed clothes
Thinkin you know something nobody knows but when its over And all said and done
I need to touch your deep and quiet soul
So like a blind man at a corner i don’t know where to turn So close to the flame i got my fingers burned
But when i return to my photographs and letters
I just have to laugh ‘cause when its over
And all said and done
I need to touch your deep and quiet soul
Magazines blow past my door
Half my songs lie on the floor
Waitin for the words to fill their empty lines Frost on the window cat’s on the sill Junk in the mailbox me i’m still out
on the road standin
in the rain puddles
round my shoes
So the curtain’s up and the crowd is hushed and you’re all alone At the drop of a hat you’ve sung em all now the rush is gone Just like a dancer on closing night you linger
for the love of the white spotlight but when its over
And all said and done
I need to touch your deep and quiet soul
