Stranded On A Sandbar
It's as strange as I've ever lived
So you're comin' along to the sideshow
I'll be fallin' all over like dominos
For girls are sad in their eyes
They're all standin' around bein' hypnotised
And walkin' me back to the firin' line
Ya smile to get in the door
Ya can't keep it closed anymore
Tell your ma that you're gone to the freakshow
I'm crawlin' all over the carnival
Just scratchin' a stitch in a skin
I'm moanin' for more of the medicine
In the mornin' you're wonderin' where ya been
Just turnin' your back to the ghost
Fifteen Years Ago
I saw a man today who said he talked to you
not so long ago, I think a month or two
as my mind raced back in time I prayed
oh, Lord, don't let it show
he thinks I forgot you fifteen years ago
Fifteen years ago and I still feel the same
why did he have to mention your name
I'm as broken up inside as if it's been a week or so
it takes a mighty strong love
to keep a man thinkin' of a girl
he hasn't seen since fifteen years ago
I've got a lovely wife who thinks the world of me
promised her my love through all eternity
I've tried hard to make her happy
and so far, she doesn't know
I can't shake this thing from fifteen years ago
Fifteen years ago and I still feel the same
why did he have to mention your name
I'm as broken up inside as if it's been a week or so
takes a mighty long time
to get a real love off your mind
I know
I've tried since fifteen years ago
