Help Me Now — текст песни (Jerry Jeff Walker)

Jerry Jeff Walker

Hear me now and use your love to listen well
`Cause I`m trying to tell you why I know
It`s time for me to go

I drifted into the city to sing my songs of the gypsy life
Be free, be kind, be strong
I sang at walls and you came down to hold my head
When the concrete beat me down
And we rested high in a nest in the wall
Forgetting it all

So help me now, I do believe I am sinkin` down
Yes, I`m back on the ground and I`ve found
I`m bound to travel on

You`ve only asked me to let you know whenever I had to go
I`m trying to let you know I`ll soon be gone
I want it clear and my thoughts in here
So you`ll know you`re not to blame

It`s those cats upstairs who handle my songs
How they string me along
Lovin` someone is to love someone
Forever is the moment you`re in
A woman`s a world a man can rest inside
It`s a love that`s sown with dreams
That the city keeps tearin` on down
And can`t you see what you are lovin` in me
Is my will to be free

So help me now to understand
I`m a free born man and I do love you so
But now it`s time for me to go
