Hear me now and use your love to listen well   'Cause I'm, I'm trying to tell you why I know   It's time for me to go      Drifted into the city to sing my songs of the gypsy life   Be free, be kind, strong, I sang at walls and you came down   To hold my head, when the concrete beat me down   And we rested high in a nest in the wall, forgetting it all      So help me now, I do believe I am sinkin' down   Yes, I'm, I'm back on the ground and I've found   I'm bound to travel on      You've only asked me to let you know whenever I had to go   I'm trying to let you know I'll soon be gone, I want it clear   And my thoughts in here, so, you'll know you're not to blame   Those cats upstairs who handle my songs, how they string me along      Lovin' someone, is to love someone, forever is the moment you're in   A woman's a world, a man can rest inside   It's a love that's sown with dreams that the city keeps tearin' on down   And can't you see what you are lovin' in me, is my will to be free      So help me now to understand   I'm a free born man and I do, I do love you so   But now, I know, it's time for me to go      Got to go right now, baby, got to go   Got to go, got to go right now, baby   Got things back there, a minute ago   Go, got to go, got to go, got to go right now, baby   I'm gone, got to go baby, I'm gone, gone
