Falling Joys - Nearly A Sin lyrics

I could not find you Down by the riverside Your coat was left hanging Beside your old guitar Too many changes You had to have it all the wind blew it all away Drowning your sorrow You gave her empty looks Don't keep her guessing You're an open book So follow your fancy And let it all begin Your vision is running thin You said you'd try The long way home The rivertide would help decide You're on your own Need a special friend To just survive is nearly a sin
