Long days, short pay, workin' like a dog
I got my dues and my ducks in a row.
You're miles away, waylaid, sick as any dog,
and still so careful to let your needs show
And I'm tired of not being there, Lord Lord,
I'm tired of not being there.
I'm tired of not being there, Lord Lord,
I'm tired of not being there.
Come home, down home, lovin' on your mind,
you've got a hankerin' for me to have a hankerin' for you,
but I'm bogged down, fogged up, weighin' on my mind
and I'm reserving God's honest truth
And I'm tired of not being there...
I am fighting the good fight in the privacy of night,
fencing, feinting, feigning I'm secure.
Then the sun comes streaking in and corroborates my sin,
assuring me I've never been sure.
There's a window in the southeast corner of my mind,
and maybe it sounds a little queer,
but sometimes it looks like the orchard outside,
and sometimes it looks like a mirror...
And I'm tired of not being here, Lord Lord,
I'm tired of not being here.
I'm tired of not being here, Lord Lord,
I'm tired of not being here.

Monthly Compliment
You can look at a $1 pledge and think: "It's not that much" - but you're basically telling me that I'm worth stopping for, and that's one heck of a compliment. So in addition to the MP3 and the "jacket" (lyrics & credits), one dollar from you equals one compliment from me.

And Specific to This Tier:
You're giving me five times what a normal mp3 is worth. In return you get a haiku - 5/7/5 - with no guarantees that it will be happy, or even good...but certainly it'll be heartfelt.

And Specific to This Tier:
You clearly have enough of a vested interest in this material that you deserve to have some of the hard copies of the song icons (unique, handdrawn, and always available) and the sheet music (usually transcribed because I had a band play with me on the recording, and sometimes available). Thank you, so much, for your support. <3
