Sit me down and make me sighnWon't you tell me, sister, why it's truenThat it all comes back for younnSit me down and make me smilenTurn my teardrops for a while intonAnother shade of bluennSo I can carry onnUntil the early morningnWhen I can saynI changed my mindnnSit me down and make me eatnTell me sister, why your meat's so sweetnAs your song is tendernnLie me down and make me sleepnTell me why these poor eyes love to weepnBecause I can't remembernnBut I can carry onnUntil the early morningnWhen I can saynI changed my mindnnTake my shoes, make me walknDon't you know my feet, they're pretty softnSee, I'm a city boynnTie me tight and watch me drownnAnd hang my picture from a post in townnThat says Missing since JulynnSo I can carry onnUntil the early morningnWhen I can saynI changed my mindnnOh yes, I can carry onnUntil the early morningnWhen I can saynI changed my mindnnSit me down, make me drinknNow I know why I so fear to blinknTo prove I was not dreamin'nnWhiskey red and coffee bluenCalifornia deja vu and younAnd the last day I believed innnBut I can carry onnUntil the early morningnWhen I can saynI changed my mindnnYes, I can carry onnUntil the early morningnWhen I can saynI changed my mind
