Baby's livin' on from hand to mouthShe's roamin' all alone in the deep, dark SouthHer eyes are tiredAnd she's been livin' with a brain full of sunset fire too longBabe, I want to send this song to youI'm hopin' what I feel will ring on throughI've seen the starsAnd I can see 'em in a dream of where you are right now[Chorus:]Yes, and time's gonna take me back(Yes, and) time's gonna take me backYes, and time's gonna take me back to youBaby's got the only love I trustShe's standin' in the rainy rust and dustShe's straight with meBaby's got my wild nighttime sea laid downBabe, I want to get your hand in mineLet my little song be a screamin' signYou are the oneAnd I'll be hangin' on to the things we done; meanwhile...[Bridge:]This city here kicks and rumblesWay on past the midnight hourThere ain't nowhere to walk or run to get awayThe world and the work's before meI'm caught in the plans I made upI don't know when, but I'll be back to you somedayBaby's wakin' up in the delta sunShe's wakin' up to blues, and she's on the runThat land is oldAnd it's haunted by a ghost in the chains of gold, blood chainsBabe, I want to cool you down for freeI want to do for you what you done for meYour eyes are tiredAnd you've been livin' with a brain full of sunset fire too long[Chorus]
