The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Well it's alright and then she's all the time

In my neighbourhood she cried both day and night

I know it cause it was there

It's a milestone but she down on her luck

And the day makes her lonely but to me hard to buck

I believe

I believe where she stopping where she wants time to care

I believe that she'd look upon deciding to care

And i go by the lord in ways she's on my way

But i don't belong there

No i dont belong to her

I don't belong to anybody

She's my prize foresaken angel but she don't hear me cry

She's a long hearted mistress

And she can't carry on

When im there she's alright but she's not when i am gone

Heaven knows that there's an answer

She's not calling no one

She's away sailing beautiful

She's mine for the one

And i lost her hesitation

By temptation less it runs

But she don't holler me

But i'm not there i am gone

Now i've cried tonight

Like i cried the night before

And i'll feast on her eyes

But i dream about the door

So long jesus savior

Blind faith where the tale?

It don't hang proclamation

She's my own far thee well

Now i went out neath the levee

I was born to love her

But she knows that the kingdom

Waits so high above her

And i run but i race

But its not to fast a slim?

But i ll not deceive her

I'm not there i am gone

Well it's all about confusion as i cry for her veil

I don't need anybody now be side me to tell

And it's all information i can see but it's not

She's a lone hearted beauty but she's gone like the spot

And she wants

Yes she's gone like the rainbow that shining yesterday

But now she's a home beside me and i'd like to here her stay

She's a cold forsaken beauty and it don't trust anyone

And i wish i was beside but i am not there i am gone

Well its too hard to stake in

And i don't bother me

It's all bad for abusing

But she's hard too hard to leave

It's alone it's a crime

The way she wont be around

But she told for to hate me

But this long forsaken clown

Yes i believe that it's rightful

Oh i believe it in my mind

I've been told like i said when i before carry on the crying

And she's all good to told her

Like i said carry on

I wish i was there to help

But i'm not there im gone
