I must have a different version of this song, probably different version of the whole album. Or maybe these lyrics published on songmeanings are wrong, because lyrics in version, which I have are:
Darling, that morning you chose to go,
I awoke in my boots and clothes.
You had taken mycar, stole my cash
even my five hundred dollar suit was slashed.
And I just laid there watching the sun fall down from the sky,
not wanting to open the letter, but opening it anyway, and seeing those two words. . .
Lover, lover, goodbye
So slowly goes the night
Next to me lies your body plan
Like the map of some forbidden land
I trace the ghosts of your bones
With my trembling hand
Dark is my night
But darker is my day yeah
I must've been blind
Out of my mind
Never never saw the warning signs
How goes it?
It goes lonely
It goes slowly
So slowly goes the night
Ten lonely days, ten lonely nights
I watch the moon get flayed anew
Until the moom becomes the skinning knife
The skins of my sins I send out to cover and comfort you
I know of a Heaven
And honey I know of a Hell yeah
I hang my head
In toss in my bed
I never never forget the words you said
"One evening, I'm leaving"
And I laughed and checked her breathing
And said darling
Go slowly through the knight
O baby, I feel the heal of time ( and it hurts )
I wake to find you sitting out there
Cutting tangels of your hair
Singing a song that's all wrong
Hey, but that's alright, I don't care
O darling forgive me
For all the misery yeah
I embrace an empty space
And your laughing song that slowly fades
Where goes it?
It goes some place
Where it's lonely
And black as the night
Come on, darling and put things right
yeah put things right
I hang my head and cry cry cry
Darling, all night I try
To cease on a reason for this mad mad season
The nights, they are so long now
I can't remember it being light
Call it sleep, call it death, call it what you like
But only sleep, dear
Only sleep brings you back to life yeah
I hang my head
I toss and I sweat
I never never can forget
How goes it?
Well, I'm going, but it's slowly slowly going
And we both know that it's gonna be alright
But it ain't you who has to cry cry cry
Mmm, ten lonely days, ten lonely nights
Since you left my side side side...
So you can see little diferences between these two variations of lyrics. Which version do you have?
