I Left a Woman Waiting Blues

from Flypaper Motel by Jim Jackson

/

lyrics

In days of quiet desperation where lovers fear the gaze of eyes
I left a woman hanging all her rag dolls out to dry

Don’t talk don’t speak she laughed at me, I know what you will say
I closed my eyes and crossed myself, and I walked away

In days of damned and dimming light where even hopes and dreams are chains
I left a woman grasping for the wagon’s wayward reins

As she sped off she cursed at me, and I felt she was sincere
When you find that rainbow’s end, drop a line my dear

In days of wine and crumbling stone where time waits on everyone
I found a woman casting all her poems to the sun

And now she’s gone so far away in years and in miles
I hope that she can hear me singing through these smiles
