Spirit on the waterDarkness on the face of the deepI keep thinking about you babyI can't hardly sleepI'm traveling by landTraveling through the dawn of dayYou're always on my mindI can't stay awayI'd forgotten about youThen you turned up againI always knewWe were meant to be more than friendsWhen you're nearIt's just as plain as it can beI'm wild about you, galYou ought to be a fool about meCan't explainThe sources of this hidden painYou burned your way into my heartYou got the key to my brainI've been trampling through mudPraying to the powers aboveI'm sweating bloodYou got a face that begs for loveLife without youDoesn't mean a thing to meIf I can't have youI'll throw my love into the deep blue seaSometimes I wonderWhy you can't treat me rightYou do good all dayAnd then you do wrong all nightWhen you're with meI'm a thousand times happier than I could ever sayWhat does it matterWhat price I payThey brag about your sugarBrag about it all over townPut some sugar in my bowlI feel like laying downI'm as pale as a ghostHolding a blossom on a stemYou ever seen a ghost? NoBut you have heard of themI see you thereI'm blinded by the colors I seeI take good careOf what belongs to meI hear your nameRinging up and down the lineI'm saying it plainThese ties are strong enough to bindNow your sweet voiceCalls out from some old familiar shrineI got no choiceCan't believe these things would ever fade from your mindI could live foreverWith you perfectlyYou don't everHave to make a fuss over meFrom East to WestEver since the world beganI only mean it for the bestI want to be with you any way I canI been in a brawlNow I'm feeling the wallI'm going away babyI won't be back 'til fallHigh on the hillYou can carry all my thoughts with youYou've numbed my willThis love could tear me in twoI wanna be with you in paradiseAnd it seems so unfairI can't go to paradise no moreI killed a man back thereYou think I'm over the hillYou think I'm past my primeLet me see what you gotWe can have a whoppin' good time
