LYRICS
I wake up in the morning
And wish it was tomorrow
Life was full of joy
Now there’s only pain and sorrow
My love has gone away
Won’t be coming back
No more my way
Here comes Evening
With its bag of sticks and stones
A cartful of worries
That it’s dragging along and singing
"Your love has gone away!
Won’t be coming back no more your way!"
And the nights they seem so empty
From one hotel to the next
Every bed feels like an iron frame
And I can’t get no rest
And the nights they seem so empty
From one hotel to the next
Every bed feels like an iron frame
And I can’t get no rest
I can’t get no rest
Baby where are you today
Baby where are you today
Baby where are you today
And won’t you tell me
Where will you be tonight
Once the world lay at my feet
But I didn’t treat her right
I shot arrows at her heart
Blind to the beauty I betrayed
And time moves on
Now all love’s lost
And there’s no return
In every town and every city
From eastern coastline to the west
People they all seem to be the same
Stood at a well and there’s no water left
In every town and every city
From eastern coastline to the west
People they all seem to be the same
Stood at a well and there’s no water left
Stood at a well and there’s no water left
Baby where are you today
Baby where are you today
Baby where are you today
And won’t you tell me
Where will you be tonight
Baby where are you today
Baby where are you today
Baby where are you today
And won’t you tell me
Where will you be tonight
Hey there how you been
It’s a while since we were on the scene
You know I didn’t want to be so mean
Got a bow and arrow in the garden
Shot a bird right out the tree
It fell down and killed me
