Rory Gallagher Lyrics - Sleep On A Clothes Line

Sleep On A Clothes Line

I could sleep on a clothes line as easy as pie
I can't keep my eyes open, no matter how I try
I got to sit down, I can't stay on my feet
I been up all night, I been walkin' the street, oh yeah

Looking for my baby
But everywhere I've gone
They tell me I've just missed you
It's gone on too long

Well, I'd go up on a mountain and I'd fight a wild cat
Walk over Niagara and all the way back
Get lost in the jungle and I'd live up a tree
That's what I would once do if you would stay with me, oh yeah

Looking for you, baby
Gone from pillar to post
Everywhere I just missed you, baby
About a minute at the most

Well, I've been looking for you, baby
In every cafe, diner and bar
All the faces there they know you
And they say you can't have gone too far
But you've gone far enough, baby
I found out you've done me wrong
Don't ask to know who's the fool
I won't be the one

Well, I could sleep on the tail-plane of a jumbo jet
Walk over the ocean and I'd never once get wet
Go skatin' on an iceberg and that's what I would once do
Every dime and dozen times just to hear you say "I love you"

Looking for you, baby
But everywhere I go
They tell me I just missed you, baby
About a minute at the most

Well, I could sleep on a clothes line as easy as pie
I can't keep my eyes open, no matter how I try
I got to sit down, I can't stay on my feet
I been up all night, I been walkin' the street, yeah

Looking for you baby
But everywhere I've gone
They tell me I've just missed you, baby
No, it's gone on too long, yeah
Gone on too long, baby
