JONI MITCHELL - DAY AFTER DAY lyrics

rate me

Day after day

Miles and miles of railroad track

Night after night

Hummin' of the wheels

Their hummin' seems to say

He'll follow you someday

But someday seems a million miles away

Wish I could turn around

and run back home again

I've had no mercy

Since the blues got on this train

Day after day

Make a dollar, need it twice

Night after night

Lie awake and dream

Of days of auld lang syne

Moonlight through the pine

And linen table cloths all stained with wine

Wish I could turn around

And run back home again

I've been so empty

Since I caught that eastbound train

Day after day

Watch the hands move 'round the clock

Night after night

Searching for my soul

So this must be my fate

To sit and weep and wait

And pray my darlin' comes before too late

Wish I could turn around

And run back home again

I've been so lonely

Since I caught that eastbound train
