Crazy Mixed-Up Girl

(album: Sunshower - 1969)

Gonna let you go, my angel
Though I could make you stay
I could use my blinds of pity
To throw it in your way
But the times have time between us
And you know I don't believe
That it makes one bit of difference
If you stay or if you leave

Why can't I be lonely, like that lonely Russian river
That's pushing down the mountain on its way to meet the sea
Why can't I meet someone, like that river meets the ocean
Why did you have to get so mixed-up, baby
With a mixed-up girl, with a mixed-up girl like me

Gonna make it short now, angel
Though I could make it long
I could take you through all the changes
And show you, where you're wrong
But our dreams don't flow together
And you'll never, never see the light
So it really doesn't matter
Who is wrong, or who is right

Oh, why can't I be lonely, like that lonely Russian river
Oh, that's pushing down the mountain on its way to meet the sea
Why, why can't I meet someone, like that river meets that ocean
Oh, why did you have to get so mixed-up, baby
With a mixed-up girl, with a mixed-up girl like me
