You know you have to walk on – John
Even though she’s dead and gone
Yeah, you have to walk on – John
Even though – your baby – she’s dead and gone
You’ve been weepin’ ‘n’ cryin’ all night long
(now)
For forty long days – singing that lonesome song

I know how you’re feelin’, man
Feelin’ doggone and blue – and goddam
Yeah, I know just how you’re feelin, man
All that doggone and blue and goddam
But don’t damn your lovin’ heart, man
Just rise up and go – I know you can

It’s just life, you know
But don’t you care if those cold winds blow
Yeah, that’s just the rotten ol’ life, you know
And don’t crush down, when those cold winds blow
But keep on layin’ donw those flowers
And cry those tears; falling down like rain – in showers

But when you’ve cried yourself dry – I tell you
It’s time to look further towards the blue
Yeah, just when you’ve drained out and dry – I tell you
You gotta raise your gaze towards the blues
The sun goes down – but rises too
(in the morning)
It’ll never stop – and so mustn’t you
