There I Was (original)

Описание: Lyrics:
There I was in Vegas
There were cards and there were dice
It didn’t end so good
But it started awful nice
The room was like tomorrow
It was bright but full of pain
I didn’t want to be there
But there I was … again.

There I was in Austin
I was riding on a horse
Things were looking splendid
But things never stay that way, of course
So I managed to surrender
To a pub along the rows
I was headed for a bender
Saw it coming … I suppose.

They say things are meant to happen
But some not to be
There I was in a place again
And you’re not there with me

There I was in Jersey
In a taxi heading East
Can we stop and get a slice, I said
Or something else at least
I get lonely on the coast, I said
Is there a place for me to stay
But he didn’t care to hear me, no
And I just looked … the other way.

There I was in India
Searching for myself
Inside a mountain canyon
On a cleared-out mountain shelf
He told me to be patient
Said lost souls take time you know
Especially when you brain is bent
And you’re forever … on the go

They say things are meant to happen
But some not to be
There I was in a place again
Your still not here with me

There I was back home
In a desert far away
The heat is dry
The sun it stings
Not the least it did that day
I had traveled over mountains
Even crossed a sea or two
And I learned a bit along the way
Yeah, I learned a bit … it’s true

They say things are meant to happen
And some not to be
There I was back in a place again And you were there with me.
