If I get up and let you in I lose my house and my home again If I get up and try to come I get sent back to the land I'm from Back to the land I'm from
The cloud came low and the rain did pour I hear your hand touch on my door The rain has quit and the light of the moon Shows you standing in my room Standing in my room
Bugeye Jim, I can't come I can twist and turn, but I can't come I can ache and I can burn, but I can't come I woke up this morning with an aching brain Hear you tap on my window pane
I look at you with a heavy head I hear you sit down on my bed The storm gets worse and my heart feels bare I feel your fingers comb my hair Feel you comb my hair
The mud it runs and the waters rise I feel your hotkiss on my eyes The rain it rained and the world did stir I sing to you my lovesick word I sing to you my lovesick word
Bugeye Jim, I can't come I can twist and turn, I can't come I can ache and I can burn, but I can't come I woke up this morning with an aching brain Hear you tap on my window pane
