Well, I walked all night long
Hearin´ them church bells tone
Yes, I walked all night long
Listen to them church bells tone
Either someone needing mercy
Or might be somethin´ I´ve done wrong

Well, your friends come by for you
I don´t know what to say
Well, your friends come by for you
I don´t know what to say
I just can´t face to tell ´em
Honey, you just went away

The children cry for mother
I tell ´em, "Mother took a trip"
Well, the children cry for mother
I tell ´em, "Mother took a trip"
Well, I walk on pins and needles
I hope my tongue don´t slip

Well, I gaze at passing strangers
In case I might see you
Yes, I gaze at passing strangers
In case I might see you
But the sun goes around the heavens
And another day just drives on through

Way out in the distance
I know you´re with some other man
Way out in the distance
I know you´re with some other man
But that´s alright, baby
You know I always understand

Call girls in the doorway
All givin´ me the eye
Call girls in the doorway
All givin´ me the eye
But my heart´s just not in it
I might as well pass right on by

My ears are ringin´
Ringin´ like empty shells
My ears are ringin´
Ringin´ like empty shells
Well, it can´t be no guitar player
It must be combat bells
