Blaze Foley In The Misty Garden Should've Been Home With You
In the misty garden you walked by me yesterday,
didn't have a lot to say,
but you smiled at me anyway
(2x)
In the misty garden you walked by me,
You woudn't even take the time to show me,
either way
In the misty garden i can hardly see your eyes,
Teardrops glistening in the morning light
In the misty garden i was offering you mine,
All you offer was a swiftly fly
In the misty garden you walk by me,
You woudn't even take the time to show me
either way
In the misty garden there was no one quite like you,
A little bit of sunshine in a pouring rain
In the misty garden want you to look on me sometime,
Change the weather or change your mind
In the misty garden you walk by me,
You woudn't even take the time to show me,
either way
Saw a dancin' young lady, who worked in a bar...
A dozen lone rangers, don't know who they are...
The waitress was spinnin', my head was ajar...
And I should have been home with you...
Saw a reelin' old drunk man, dancin' around...
Thought his gray whiskers, still must have been brown...
Ida Lupino, wouldn't keep her dress down...
I should have been home with you...
The band rocked and rolled, but it was not the best...
Nearly all of them, all sound like the rest...
Some girls look pretty, but you were the best...
That's why I came home with you...
I got home about daylight, I've been gone too long...
Woke up at eleven, and saw you were gone...
Drank lots of coffee, and wrote you this song...
I wish I'd have been home with you...
Saw a dancin' young lady, who worked in a bar...
A dozen lone rangers, don't know who they are...
The waitress was spinnin', my head was ajar...
And I should have been home with you...(3x)
