I'm Not There
Sonic Youth

Things are crashing down, she's all too tight

In my neighborhood she cry both day and night

It's a milestone but she's down on her luck

Days make her so lonely and it's so hard to buck

Now and then

I believe that she'd stop him if she'd find time to care

I believe that she may look upon deciding whose to care

And I go by the Lord, anywhere she's on my way

But I don't belong there

No, I don't belong to her, I don't belong to [Incomprehensible]

She's my Christ forsaken angel but she don't hear me cry

She's a long hearted mystic and she can't carry on

When I'm there she's alright then she's not when I'm gone

Heaven knows that the answer she don't con no one

She's the way forsaken beauty, she's mine for the one

And I lost her hesitating about temptation as it runs

She don't harm me, I'm not there I'm gone

Now I've cried tonight like I cried the night before

And I'll feast on the highway but I'll dream about the door

It's alone she's forsaken by her fate with to tell

It don't have approximation she is smiling fairly well

Her smile is contagious, I was born to love her

But she knows that the kingdom waits so high above her

And I run by the race but it's not too fast stayed

But I got the fever I'm not there, I'm gone

Well, it's all about diffusion as I cry for her veil

I don't need anybody now beside me to tell

And it's all affirmation, I'm asleep but it's not

She's a lone-hearted beauty but she don't like spot

And she calls

Yeah, she's gone like a rainbow that was shining yesterday

But she's home now beside me and I'd like her to stay

She's a lone forsaken beauty and she don't trust no one

And I wish I was beside her but I'm not there, I'm gone

It's too hard to stay here and I don't want to leave

It's so hard for so few you see but she's hard to, hard to me

It's a [Incomprehensible] it's a crime, the way she mauls me around

But she don't phone to hate me but it's down to make her crown

Yes, I believe that it's rightful, I believe it in my mind

I've been told like I said for carrying on crying

Yes, the soul gypsy told her like I said carry on

Wish I was there to help me but I'm not there, I'm gone
