Sally Timms Sad Milkman C F Above the dark highways on a black tar roof G c Stood the Sad Milkman in love with the moon C F She filled up his window with soft milky light G C 'Til he crawled up the chimney and into the night Chorus: F C But the moon she rises and the moon she falls G C And her slow white eye sees nothing at all Down on the sidewalks a crowd gathered 'round Flinging up bricks and bottles to knock the boy down He stood up above them with his hands in the air Calling up to the moonbeams, "Come let down your hair!" (repeat chorus) He wanted to feel like a bucket of milk Or sweet summer wind on rolling green hills He wanted to fly up from the roof Sailing up from the night wind to the arms of the moon (repeat chorus two times) Dark Sun Good-bye Dr. Strangelove he knew he had to go And every pinch and kick just dragged me down There's no way to imagine that without a soul to turn to I would find some shelter in this town Chorus: It won't be the first time, it won't be the last No matter how many times you feel the blast Come on, baby, take my hand There's a dark sun rising on this land And when the first one falls we'll be crawling up the walls Down in the valley of our souls The first one today is gonna take me all the way 'Til the last one for the road Like a small town debutante just off the bus in Hollywood I have found humility, and I suppose it's done me good I'll take it all on board if I must But I hope you have to see me turn to dust It won't be the first time, it won't be the last No matter how many times the die is cast Come on, baby, take my hand There's a dark sun rising on this land Too late the planes all left on time As my window slammed shut without a sound And I've got by for so long just on fear and trust I hope you see me scratching in the dust (repeat chorus)
