Lost Blues

Don't you want to go where things move slow?

Give me a little time to take what I know

Follow the oceanline, follow the flow

Give me a little time to take what I know

Oh, and he's calling, but I do not answer

I am hunting for me now, and I must go quietly

And it's a hard way of walking, oh and I know

It's a hard way of talking, oh and I know

Oh, don't let your guard down,

And don't live far from town

Follow the oceanline, follow the flow

Give me a little time to take what I know

Give me a little time to take what I know

Oh, Lordy, Lordy, I am downstairs crying

They try and shush me, but I holler gleefully

In a house made for sleeping, oh and I know

With a mouth made of gold, oh and I know

I see him smile at me, smiling desperately

If only you would trust me, we would live happily

In a house made of silver, oh and I know

In a house made of platinum, oh and I know

Oh, hold the raft at the ready,

Hold it fast, hold it steady

Follow the oceanline, follow the flow

Give me a little time to take what I know

Give me a little time to take what I know
