Endless Wire Songtext

von Gordon Lightfoot

I ain't got nothing to hide, my mind is an endless wire.
I got both feet on the ground, I ain't got no one for hire.
I ain't got a thing to show, my lines have all expired.
So don't go fooling around and set my wheels afire.

Down in the dark of a burnt out soul, there's a few good second hand dreams,
Deep in the dark of a heavenly night with you.
Down in the black of a bottomless hole, there's a few good second hand scenes,
Deep in the dark of the heavenly blue where the sea runs green.

I ain't got nothing to give, my life is an endless climb.
My love's a paperback dream, I don't have nothing but time.
I ain't got a thing to show, I don't know my own name.
So don't go fooling around, and set my wheels afire.
Down in the dark of a burnt out soul, there's a few good second hand dreams,
Deep in the dark of a heavenly night with you.
Down in the black of a bottomless hole, there's a few good second hand scenes,
Deep in the dark of the heavenly blue where the sea runs green.

I ain't got nothing to hide, my mind is an endless wire.
I got both feet on the ground, I ain't got no one for hire.
I ain't got a thing to show, my life is an endless dream.
My love's a paperback dream, I ain't got nothing but time.
