Ulysses Blues

 When the howl of a thousand winds
 Is puffing against your door
 And the suitors around you
 Will circle your home
 Begging and asking for more

 The swindler will trick you into loving him
 The rich one will show off and buy you a ring
 The wiseguy will teach you the ways of true love
 The thief will sneak through the floor

 Will you still remember the name of this guy that needs you?
 Slammed through the miles by a raging sea
 But it’s not the relentless punch of the storm that kills me
 It’s the deafening silence that follows and makes me feel lost

 But one day with a sun
 Dressed up like a moon
 Grotesque and warped like a face on a spoon
 I'll come ashore
 Watching the city napping in front of me

 I’m gonna roam and wonder disguised as a tramp
 Quietly advancing around the camp
 Pushed by a demon that breathes down my neck
 and whispers to me your name

 And will you still remember the name of this guy that needs you?
 Slammed through the miles on a raging sea
 But it’s not the relentless punch of the storm that kills me
 It’s the deafening silence that follows and makes me feel lost

 It’s not the relentless punch of the storm that kills me
 It’s the deafening silence that follows and makes me feel lost
