Honey I was a wanderer Lost in dreams and thoughts It seemed would soon drag me under But slowly out oh the haze I saw a light I knew the night would soon be erased by Now I'm languishing under your rule But you're only a mirror of fools And you're always so kind yet so cruel my girl Time will not bring us back again I cannot promise we'll be friends Release me girl Softly, queen of the dustbowl Aching limbs and foolish whims have taken their toll What vow could weather this life we have made? What tongue-tied promise not darken or fade? Time will not bring us back again I cannot promise we'll be friends Hard words won't matter in the end Release me girl
