Allen Ginsberg — 4 A.M. Blues

Oh, when you gonna lie down By my side? When the Spirit hits you, please Lay down by my side Three nights you didn't come home, I slept by myself And sighed Oh, when you gonna look me In the eyes? When the Spirit hits you, please Look me in the eyes Oh, honey, come hug me Take me by surprise Take me by surprise Come home, lay down by my side I wait three days, sometimes I cry Lay here alone, heart open wide Gone another night Hand on my heart Close my eyes You don't want me in your arms, don't wanna Hear me sigh That's how I'm alone, that's how I'm gonna die
