Tonight I'll Be Staying Here with You (Live 1975) Lyrics

Throw my ticket in the wind
throw my mattress out there too
throw my letters in the sand
'cause you got to understand that
tonight I'll be staying here with you

I could've left this town by noon
but tonight I've been to some place new
but I was feelin' a little bit misguided
and you love was all that mattered
so tonight I'll be staying here with you
Get ready!
'cause tonight I'll be staying here with you

Is it really anyone else
the changes we put on each other's heads
you came down on me like wild thunder
I left my dreams on the riverbed

I can hear that lonesome whistle blowin'
I hear those sermons roarin' too
if there's a traveller on the road
then let him have my load
'cause tonight I'll be staying here with you

I can hear that lonesome whistle blowin'
I hear those sermons roarin' too
if there's a traveller on this road
then let him have my load
'cause tonight I'll be staying here with you
'cause tonight I'll be staying here with you
