I'm riding again in search of the motherload I'm needing a friend but wanting to be alone I'm lying on the lawn staring at stars again I wonder aloud when did it all begin You and my stars are in my head I cannot feel for mother time Warm winds dry my tears today Sullen soul will sleep tonight, tonight I walk into town looking for remedies The sun and the fog come from fallen trees The wind and the rain are falling on harder times The poet's confused searching for better lines You and my stars are in my head I cannot feel for mother time Warm winds dry my tears today Sullen soul will sleep tonight, tonight I stagger tonight through weeds and mountain tops Feeling my age like cars in a body shop I lay down to sleep in your roofless shed I'll keep my stars, I'll keep my heavy head You and my stars are in my head I cannot feel for mother time Warm winds dry my tears today Sullen soul will sleep tonight, tonight Tonight, tonight
