Poncho's Lament - Tom Waits

Well the stairs sound so lonely without you

And I ain’t maid my bed in a week

Coffee stains on the paper I’m writing

And I’m too choked up inside to speak

And Yes, I know our differences pulled us apart

Never spoke a word heart to heart

And I’m glad that you’re gone

But I wish to the lord that you’d come home

And I’m glad that you’re gone

Got the feeling so strong

And I’m glad that you’re gone

But I wish to the lord that you’d come home

Well my guitar still plays your favorite song

Though the strings have been outta tune for some time

Every time I strum a cord, I pray out to the lord

That you’ll quit your honkey-tonkin' sing my song

And I’m glad that you’re gone

Got the feeling so strong

And I’m glad that you’re gone

But I wish to the lord that you’d come home
