Poncho's Lament Lyrics - Tom Waits

Well the stairs sound so lonely without you 

And I ain't made my bed in a week 

Coffee stains on the paper I'm writing 

And I'm too choked up inside to speak 

And yes, I know that our differences pulled us apart 

We never spoke a word heart to heart 

And I'm glad that you're gone 

But I wish to the lord that you'd come home 

And I'm glad that you're gone 

Got the feeling so strong 

And I'm glad that you're gone 

But I wish to the lord that you'd come home

Well my guitar still plays your favorite song 

Though the strings have been outta tune for some time 

Every time I strum a chord, I pray out to the lord 

That you'll quit your honkey-tonkin' sing my song 

And I'm glad that you're gone 

Got the feeling so strong 

Yes I'm glad that you're gone 

But I wish to the lord that you'd come home 

So I'll throw another log onto the fire 

And I admit I'm a lousy liar 

As the coals die down and flicker 

I hear that guitar picker 

Play the song we used to sing so long ago 

And I'm glad that you're gone 

Got the feeling so strong 

Yes I'm glad that you're gone 

But I wish to the lord that you'd come home

And I'm glad, damn glad you're gone 

I've got the feeling so strong 

Yes I'm glad that you're gone 

But I wish to the lord you'd come home
