Calm Before the Storm Lyrics

The heat wave's been here, it's come and it's went
And with it baby, my love has been spent
You used to be my sunshine, my pride and joy
But keep on walkin', I'm not your lover boy

Beggers can't be choosey, so they say
But I'm a choosey beggar so you be on your way
I ain't gonna eat out my heart anymore
So baby you keep walkin' right on outta that door

Now I'm mad I want ya to go away
Get out of my sight girl, leave right away
If I never see you again you know it will be too soon
Head for the horizon baby follow the moon

An empty heart is like an empty life
But listen to me girl, you'll never be my wife
Love minus zero is what you give
Now that you're gone I'm gonna start to live

Today's an endless highway, tonight a long, long trail
That's the way you live girl, and that's the way you'll fail
It's my life and you ain't gonna bring me down
You laugh and you're careless girl, but now you're gonna frown

I'm goin' down to the city to see what there is to see
I'm goin' down to the village to see what the Fugs say to me
And when I return to my simple abode
You'll be gone and from my mind a big load
