Always There Never Here

Well, always there, never here
See how he runs, I know not where
Wants to wash me out of his hair
Always there, never here

Well, summertime, my friends are fine
I walk the valley, far and wide
Four o'clock, it's far too wide
Now, everybody I know is always getting high

Well, always there, never here
See how he runs, I know not where
Wants to wash me out of his hair
Always there, never here

Well, why do you always hang up the phone
I'm like a dog running after a bone
Stand up proud on both your knees
And don't take no liberties
Living by the riverbed
How much longer there instead
Maybe two, maybe three
Til the roots strangle me

Always there, never here
See how he runs, I know not where
Wants to wash me out of his hair
Always there, never here

Well, always there, never here
See how he runs, I know not where
Wants to wash me out of his hair
Always there, never here

Every night before I sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
I have learned to go without
I find out what it's all about
Plans that never get off the lawn
And on and on and on and on
G L O R I A
That's what I'll be someday

Always there, never here
See Spot run, I know not where
Wants to wash me out of his hair
Always there, never here
Always there, never here
