(Words and Music by Joan Baez)
The cats are sleeping here in the autumn sun.
Your dog has flushed a deer and he`s on the run.
And the coffee cup is cold
and the morning`s feeling very old.
Fifteen months of time my man`s been gone.
The second winter now is coming on.
And our fates could all be worse
But sometimes I still must curse my own.
And hello
I wish you well
where you sleep
all in your cell.
As for friends I can`t complain, they`ve been good to me.
The fire`s burning bright, they`ve left wood for me.
And the roof has been repaired.
And I thank them for the love they`ve shared.
You see, there`s really nothing wrong, I`ve just got the blues.
Because if you give a damn you`re going to pay some dues.
But if you see the game we`re in
like I do, you know in time we`ll win.
And hello
I wish you well
where you sleep
all in your cell.
So time give me a break of a week or more.
My head is reeling and my back is sore.
And the baby cries for me.
And I think I`ll walk by the sea alone.
