Old Joe
This way and the next way
You can feel it coming round
When you close your swollen eyes
To see the things that you have found
And all the time it takes to watch
The waters all run dry
Would it take you that much longer
To hold on to what you’d like
And there’s a man around the corner
You won’t see him ‘till he’s gone
Going home to tell somebody
About the damage that you’ve done
And that’s the way it could’ve been
By the time you saw inside
And he took his reasons with him though
Because no one sits beside
Only takes a match, a message
You can see it in the sand
And he knows you, where you’re coming from
Inside your left right hand
I don’t know if you care
For these things, for you and me
If you say you’re going for
The ones you see for free
I will be waiting and never run
See you wait, holding and never run
I will go from the days
I will go from the edges
And I will see your way

Old Joe, you sing me to sleep
Somewhere you're calling
You're calling on me
I know, it's only so far
Before you start aching
For what's in your heart
Old Joe, you sing me to sleep
Somewhere you're calling
You're calling on me
And I know, it's only so far
Before you start aching
For what's in your heart
Old Joe, you sing me to sleep
Somewhere you're calling
You're calling on me
And I know, it's only so far
Before you start aching
For what's in your heart
