I'm
so afraid of all the places I'm going,
in love with places I've been.
So come and let me tell you
the tragic story, how it began.
With those long pretty fingers,
running up and down my heart.
The fingers that have captured me
and held me so near since
the day I was born.
They're the very same fingers
that goes to pushing inside
Push a button and elevator
starts its lonesome ride
And then it's high above the ground
I'm going, ground I'm going
All along, going on and on
to spin the diaper pin
Pinning up the mood that I'm in,
up in that ooh, ooh
Black tragic all the blues,
how I wish I could lose
All of the memories of yesterday,
I know all those days
have gone away now
But they keep calling me
back somehow
There is nothing quite so soothing
As all of the pleasures found in losing
myself in the memory
Just like the time when
my baby said to me
My darling,
you must be the one made for me
Why yes, as plain as can be,
I know by your feeling
Yours and mine agree,
we have been so long
without each other there
In the gloom, doomed to destiny,
take me in
your arms forever
Hold me tight, kiss me so soft and light
Yes, it's alright, just blame the night
Shine on, oh moon,
and make the future bright
Oh yes, it was a beautiful beginning
But do be so sad, too bad,
these things must have an ending
The devil in words like
we two won't do,
I'm through with you
Came around and brought a change
And left me in a world
so different and strange
World so new, world so lonely and blue
I really don't know what to do
So afraid of where I'm going,
wish I'd been
I'd hate to feel just like a baby
be ing stuck again
The same old pain in the end
I think I'd rather be alone,
alone,
my sweet saxophone
To blow and blow an d
blow away in memory
I knew I'll never be free, I knew
But what difference can there really be
If we just wait until we've made
a few more trips around the sun
Perhaps I'll know much
more about it then
Un til then,
I'm so afraid of where I'm go ing
And so in love with where I've been you
