'Til I Fell In Love With You

(album: Time Out Of Mind - 1997)

Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense
I feel like the whole world gonna end up against the fence
I've been hit too hard, seen too much
Nothing can heal me now but your touch
I just don't know what I'm gonna do
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you.

Well, my house is on fire, burning to the sky
Well, I thought it would rain but the clouds passed by
And I feel like I'm coming to the end of my way
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
Still, I don't know what I'm gonna do
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you.

Boys in the street beginning to play
Girls like birds, flying away
When I'm gone you will remember my name
I'm gonna win my way to wealth and fame
Yet I just don't know what I'm gonna do
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you.

Well, junk's piling up, taking up space
My eyes feel like they've fallen off my face
Sweat pouring down, I'm staring at the floor
I'm thinking about that girl who won't be back no more
I just don't know what to do
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you.

Well, I'm tired of talking, I'm tired of trying to explain
My attemps to please ya, they were all in vain
Tomorrow night before the sun goes down
If I'm still among the living I'll be Dixie bound
Still, I just don't know what I'm gonna do
I was all right, 'til I fell in love with you.
