Marchin' to the City - Outtake from 'Time Out Of Mind' sessions

Lyrics

Well, I'm sitting in church
 In an old wooden chair
 I knew nobody
 Would look for me there
 Sorrow and pity
 Rule the earth and the skies
 Looking for nothing
 Anyone's eyes
 Once I had pretty girls
 Did me wrong
 Now I'm marching to the city
 And the road ain't long
 ♪
 Snowflakes are falling
 Around my head
 Lord have mercy
 It feel heavy like lead
 I've been hit too hard
 Seen too much
 Nothing can heal me now
 But your touch
 Once I had a pretty girl
 She done me wrong
 Now I'm marching to the city
 And the road ain't long
 Loneliness
 Got a mind of its own
 The more people around
 The more you feel alone
 I'm chained to the earth
 Like a silent slave
 Trying to break free
 Out of death's dark cave
 Once I had a pretty girl
 Done me wrong
 Now I'm marching to the city
 And the road ain't long
 Boys in the streets
 Beginning to play
 Girls like birds
 Flying away
 I'm carrying the roses
 That were given to me
 And I'm thinking about paradise
 Wondering what it might be
 Once I had a pretty girl
 She done me wrong
 Now I'm marching to the city
 And the road ain't long
 Go over to London
 Maybe Gay Paree
 Follow the river
 You'll get to the sea
 I was hoping we could drink from
 Life's clear streams
 I was hoping we could dream
 Life's pleasant dreams
 Once I had a pretty girl
 But she done me wrong
 Now I'm marching to the city
 And the road ain't long
 Well the weak get weaker
 And the strong stay strong
 The train keeps rolling
 All night long
 She looked at me
 With an irresistible glance
 With a smile
 That could make all the planets dance
 Once I had a pretty girl
 She did me wrong
 Now I'm marching to the city
 And the road ain't long
 My house is on fire
 Burning to the skies
 I thought the rain clouds
 But the clouds passed by
 When I'm gone
 You'll remember my name
 I'm gonna win my way
 To wealth and fame
 Once I had a pretty girl
 But she did me wrong
 Now I'm marching to the city
 And the road ain't long
 ♪
 I don't know
