Trying to explain what you mean to me
Is an object lesson in futility
While I’m wandering without a trace
That I’ve ever been
But lying on the bank by the riverside
On the day you sailed away on the evening tide
Was a fire in your eyes and I did not belong
And all the crying people they sang along
I’ve been gone for a long, long time
But I’m coming back home again
And I know that you’re better than me
But you better not find a friend, and
I know you’ve been waiting for me
On the other side of the shore
But I won’t leave you waiting anymore
So I think about you while I’m walking the road
And the noonday sun burns me to the bone
All the lessons that I had to learn
Were hard as stone
But lying out under the shining moon
I know the road is gonna rise up to meet me soon
And the shadow that I trail behind belongs to you
And all the crying people they know it too
Well nothing seems to change around this old place
And I wonder how I’ll feel when I see your face
There’s a figure waiting by the door
I’m walking through
But lying to you now in your bed at night
I know I’m gonna be gone come the morning light
But I tell you that I’m gonna stay, I’ll stay with you
But all the crying people they know the truth

Packed our bags and moved to Memphis
We’d nearly played out all our string
Keep your eyes fixed in the mirror
I’ll take my audience with the King
Set our sights now on surrender
I move my palm down to your thigh
And I don’t know just where we’re going
But we’ll get there by and by
In the ashes of tomorrow find the fires of today
When the old stars that you follow
Well they all just burn away
So take a stand on sinking sand
And put your fears aside
‘Cause all good things will find you by and by
Burned our house down in the morning
Was on the road by evening time
And I’m not sure when next you’ll see me
But I’ll be over by and by
By and by, by and by, by and by lo, by and by
Yes all good things will find you by and by
By and by, by and by, by and by oh, by and by
Yes all good things will find you by and by
