Transit Wind

Mother Hips


Mama, I don't think I can come home with you 
'cause I saw a girl that looks like a friend 
Mercy, have mercy on she tonight 
'cause she's standin' in the transit wind 

I finally got the nerve up 
to climb into your pick-up truck 
off the white dashed line 
on the black wind swept road 
After my departure 
well it felt too cold for March or May 
and the wind would not leave me alone 
Oh no, and the wind would not leave me alone 

and I know a lie when I see one 
drop from her trembling lips 
and I will lay down and cry when I need one 
but right now, I can't feel the Transit Wind 
and I'm not strong enough to go through that again 

'Cause, I've never felt so bad 
the way I'm feeling now 

Candy, Candy there was a time 
when your love came in handy 
I can't get to sleep 
without weeping on your name 
well I'm weeping on your name (repeats)
