Another Man's Clothes

Lady next door leaves her balcony
 Opens up her door and goes inside
 Sun dropped down just minutes ago
 Western sky is smeared cranberry light
 Normally the things in my mind that go down deep
 I would not let them roam without a fight
 But I stand in another man's clothes tonight
 I stand in another man's clothes
 Guess that's how it happens, guess that's how it goes
 When you stand in another man's clothes
 Sometimes it's hard to tell apart a star
 From a satellite or slow-moving plane
 Sometimes it's hard to tell yourself apart
 From a sheet of wind whipping through the rain
 I been straddling this road but here it starts to part
 And from here both ways diverge on out of sight
 And I stand in another man's clothes tonight
 I stand in another man's clothes
 I stand in another man's clothes tonight
 I stand in another man's clothes
 I look far as I can past the cloudy blue horizon
 I wait for voices but no voices come
 When I try to listen to the rhythm of my soul
 All that plays is one sad solitary drum
 There ain't no guarantee about tomorrow morning
 And if the sun will ever rage in all its light
 I stand in another man's clothes tonight
 I stand in another man's clothes
 Looking for answers from above and beyond
 Signs from the highway and the clouds
 I shout my questions with all the breath inside my lungs
 But some I dare not say out loud
 So if I make it through, if I come to you
 Let's not waste our time on anything but love
 My trousers and my shirt and the jacket on my back
 Have let me step outside myself, maybe just enough
 I got no time for wasting, this chance may not come round again
 Don't meet me with no argument or fight
 I stand in another man's clothes tonight
 I stand in another man's clothes
 Guess that's how it happens, guess that's how it goes
 When you stand in another man's clothes
 Guess that's how it happens, guess that's how it goes
 When you stand in another man's clothes
