no dope, no pill, no drinkin' fill
can tow this ton of tears.
no time alone, away from home
can take days out of years.
goodbye, my love of hidin' stuff
hello, my love, i'm here.
no old flame or cryin' shame
can carry cross this line.
and no shortcut, i'll tell you what,
can make this race seem mine.
i'm gonna walk it. yes, i am,
and i'm gonna take my time.
i'm here.
though there's a breeze
over empty seas temptin' me,
no way. no wonder of the world
can make me change my mind.
no medicine or heroin
could make me ghostly blind.
my old friend, fear, has disappeared.
hello, my love, i'm here.
no dope, no pill, no drinkin' fill
can tow this ton of tears.
