E I feel like I want to go home C#m But I am home G# And the cardinal calls out A Lonesome and mad E From the walnut tree E The flowers you planted have died C#m And now, here, they shiver, G# Swaying and pedal-bare A E As the wind comes through whistling Instrumental: E C#m G# A E Chorus: G# A Cactus flower blooms in the desert E Under the stars A Sprouts in the asphalt E Under the cars F#m G Spitting and sputtering G# A You know well that I was never E Ate by a whale A My lies are the dead bird E B That gives this sad, grim parking lot meaning E I feel like I want to go home C#m But I am home G# A And I dream of a kettle drum, booming and wailing E From somewhere far away E And here I will wait by the door C#m Like an old dog G# A Hearing the footsteps of all the strangers E Who are just passing by. Coda: E C#m G# A E E C#m G# A E E
