I'm Not There

Ev'ry thing's all right and then she's all the time in my neighborhood She cries both day and night I know it 'cause she was there            It's a milestone but she's down on her luck And the day makes her lonely and it's so hard to buck ...I was there            I believe that she'd stop him Where she once stopped to care I believe that she'd look upon beside 'em and care And I'd go by her now and she's on my way But I don't belong there            No I don't belong to her I don't belong to anybody She's my prize forsaken angel But she don't hear me cry She's a lone-hearted mystic And she can carry on When I'm there she's all right But she's not when I'm gone       Heaven knows she's the answer she don't call on no one She's a wave a thing of beauty she's mine for the one And I'm not hesitating by temptation lest it runs But she don't follow me but I'm not there I'm gone             Now I'll cry tonight Like I cried the night before And I'll feast on her eyes but I'll dream about the door So long Jesus savior Blind faith worth to tell It don't have consolation she's my love far thee well             Her smile is contagious I was born to love her But she knows that the kingdom waits so high above her And I run but I race but it's not too fast or soon I'll try and not deceive her I'm not there I'm gone             It's all about confusion and I cry for her pale I don't need anybody now beside me to tell Cause it's all affirmation I've received but it's not I wish I was beside but I'm not there I'm gone             Yes she s gone like
