Going Quietly Mad Lyrics - Al Kooper

I am sitting here so softly 

And I can hear my wristwatch ticking 

Wish someone would come and help me 

I'm going quietly mad 

Tried to read the evening paper 

Couldn't make it past page one 

Wish someone would come and save me, baby 

From going quietly mad 

Got ripped off by the traveling salesman 

I lost my job and my wallet too 

I sold my heart to the junkman 

I guess there's nothing left to do 

Got a letter from my baby 

Got a package from my dad 

Wish that you were here to save me, baby 

I'm going quietly mad
