Even if I knew which way the wind was blowin'
Even if I knew this road would lead me home
Even if I knew for once where I was goin'
I'm lost out here without you
Rockin' the baby by that window here
Plant tomatoes in the yard
Naked by the mirror putting up your hair
Baby it's hard
And the kids came to see you for the last time
I told them not to bring the children the husbands or the wife
I said just the blood this time, just the blood
They asked to be alone with you, so I left them alone
But I didn't go far
They said he's been drinking again
He stumbled at the door
He can't take care of himself mama
We can't do this anymore
And you said hush up children let me breath
I've been listening to you all your life
Are they hungry? Are they sick?
What is it they need?
Now it's turn to listen to me
I was young when we met and afraid of the world
Now it's he who's afraid and I'm leaving
Make sure he sleeps in his bed at night
Don't let him sleep in that chair
If he holds out his hand to you
Hold it tight that makes you uncomfortable
Or if it embarrasses you, I don't care
Even if I knew which way the wind was blowin'
Even if I knew this road would lead me home
Even if I knew for once where I was goin'
I'm lost out here baby, I'm lost out here
I'm lost out here without you
