Even if I knew which way the wind was blowing
Even if I knew this road would lead me home
Even if I knew for once where I was going
I´m lost out here without you

Rocking the baby by that window there
Planting tomatoes in the yard
Naked by the mirror putting up your hair
Baby, it´s hard

When the kids came to see you for the last time
I told them not to bring the children
The husbands, or the wife
I said, "Just the blood this time. Just the blood."
They asked to be alone with you
So I left them alone, but I didn´t go far

They said, “Has he been drinking again?
He stumbled at the door
He can´t take care of himself, Mama
We can´t do this anymore.”

You said, “Hush up, children
Let me breathe
I´ve been listening to you all your life
Are they hungry, are they sick?
What is it they need?
Now it´s your turn to listen to me

“I was young when we met
And afraid of the world
Now it´s he who´s afraid
And I´m leaving

“Make sure he sleeps in his bed at night
Don´t let him sleep in that chair
If he holds out his hand to you, hold it tight
If that makes you uncomfortable
Or if it embarrasses you
I don´t care.”

Even if I knew which way the wind was blowing
Even if I knew this road would lead me home
Even if I knew for once where I was going
I´m lost out here
Baby, I´m lost out here
I´m lost out here without you
