From the recording Tales From The Atomic Tambourine
Lyrics
SOUTH ON THE CRESCENT
I’m fading away
There’s something inside my life that just can’t be saved
Oh and you’re feeling so low
Like something has grabbed your soul
And just won’t let go
All the time that we have lost. Never getting what we want.
You’ll go south on the Crescent. When everything is through
I hope it all will make some sense to you
I’ll be there at the station. Goodbye is all I’ve got.
I hope that you’ll be happier than not
You couldn’t believe
That now that you’d had your close-up
It was time to leave
Oh and I was feeling past dead
Like someone had placed a shotgun up to my head
All the time that we have lost. Never getting what we want.
You’ll go south on the Crescent
When everything is through
I hope it all will make some sense to you
I’ll be there at the station
Goodbye is all I’ve got
I hope that you’ll be happier than not
