Rory Gallagher Lyrics - Overnight Bag

Overnight Bag

Packed my things in an overnight bag,
Toothbrush, a guitar, got no tail to drag.
Gonna leave, on the next passing breeze.

My heart is heavy, as a sky full of rain,
Mind full of notions, that I just can't explain.
Reasons why, just can't be supplied.

Trapped by a heartache, and framed by my will,
Sentenced to wander, so much time to kill,
Hear me plea, and rescue me.

Packed my sorrows in an overnight bag,
But I'll be gone much longer than that,
Who knows when, we'll meet again.

Too many sleepless nights, put my soul on edge,
And so many restless moods, lay heavy in my head.

Too many sleepless nights, put my soul on edge,
And so many restless moods, lay heavy in my head.

Wrote down my thoughts, and I sealed them in hope,
Sent them to you in a blue envelope,
Not received, it seems to me.

I had some things that I wanted to say,
But my chance, well it just flew away,
On the breeze, like some mystery
