melinda

Singer: james mcmurtry

don't expect no favors

nothing in return

tell all your cross-eyed neighbors that it's none of their concern

open the shades melinda

let in the outside air

i'm deep in doubt and i can't get out

and it must be dark in there

i wanna walk with you in the morning mist

though i should be home by now

and there must be some way outta this

i was thinking you'd know how

and my judgement may be shaky

and my shoes are soaking through

'cause the weeds are wet and i haven't yet made any sense of you

all the midnight angels

fold their wings by dawn

the same old wild-eyed strangers sit and watch em till they're gone

i let the night unravel

forget my vain pursuits

cept to feel that gray rock gravel
