French doors are open, spirits run
In and out of the house I was born in
Sunlight comes washing through the hearth
Of the home where I live
Don't try and wash me clean,
don't try and make me eat
Baby, I'm nowhere bound
And nowhere I go, am I free to load
These sorrows, slow low down
You know I'm nowhere bound
Wild summer flower on my piano Let me sing you a song about dying
Ashes to ashes,
the truth can be sour Baby,
don't come to me when you're crying
Try to wash yourself clean,
try to make me eat Baby,
I'm nowhere bound
You've nowhere to go to be free to unload Your sorrows,
slow low down
You know you're nowhere bound
The ages have spoken,
I blew my last token I fall like a man from the gallow
Down and old broken now,
battered and broken How am I to crawl from the shadow?
Don't try and wash me clean,
don't try and make me eat Baby,
I'm nowhere bound
I've nowhere to go to be free to load These sorrows,
slow low down
You know I'm nowhere bound
