Ataris - Clara lyrics

(Going home going home tell all my friends that I'm going home)

If you should see me and I can't walk then if you should speak and I can't talk

Feel of me if I'm cold there's a shovel in the back to dig the hole

No I don't expect this last favour for nothing cause you're a busy man my friend

So look on the end of the handle you'll find attacked two tens

There's a phone number on the back of the shovel of a dear friend of days gone by

Call her and tell her to bring her sister I've already gave them two tens to cry

The Lord's prayer's engraved on a penny in the left pocket of my coat

I carry this with me for two reasons the last so I never was broke

Oh I've had a lot of beautiful dreams of things that might have been

So please buy some pretty flowers in my right pocket is my last two tens

I've made a little money in my time but perhaps more than a lot of men

But I spent it all havin' a ball with a few fairweather friends

But you know I brought nothin' with me to this old earth

And now that my journey ends

Me and this old world broke even since you have my last two tens

(Going home going home tell all my friends that I'm going home)
