Dan Bern - Another Man's Clothes lyrics
Your rating:
Lady next door leaves her balcony Opens up her door and goes inside Sun dropped down just minutes ago Western sky is smeared cranberry light Normally the things in my mind that go down deep I would not let them roam without a fight But I stand in another man's clothes tonight I stand in another man's clothes Guess that's how it happens, guess that's how it goes When you stand in another man's clothes Sometimes it's hard to tell apart a star From a satellite or slow-moving plane Sometimes it's hard to tell yourself apart From a sheet of wind whipping through the rain I been straddling this road but here it starts to part And from here both ways diverge on out of sight And I stand in another man's clothes tonight I stand in another man's clothes I stand in another man's clothes tonight I stand in another man's clothes I look far as I can past the cloudy blue horizon I wait for voices but no voices come When I try to listen to the rhythm of my soul All that plays is one sad solitary drum There ain't no guarantee about tomorrow morning And if the sun will ever rage in all its light I stand in another man's clothes tonight I stand in another man's clothes Looking for answers from above and beyond Signs from the highway and the clouds I shout my questions with all the breath inside my lungs But some I dare not say out loud So if I make it through, if I come to you Let's not waste our time on anything but love My trousers and my shirt and the jacket on my back Have let me step outside myself, maybe just enough I got no time for wasting, this chance may not come round again Don't meet me with no argument or fight I stand in another man's clothes tonight I stand in another man's clothes Guess that's how it happens, guess that's how it goes When you stand in another man's clothes Guess that's how it happens, guess that's how it goes When you stand in another man's clothes
