Somewhere in the West
There were years spent before here
Riding in the dust
And there were years spent before here
Riding in the dust
I left me somewhere on the South side
Riding
I left me somewhere else
Got my load much lighter now
Since I didn't bring myself
I name me Shirley in the dark
But when it's day I have no name
Cos we are our voices in the dark
But in the day we're all the same
Seven years' abundance
Before seven years of famine
Coming to an end
It's coming to an end somewhere in the West
I dug me up just enough soil to grow
I left me somewhere else now I've got no load
I name me Shirley in the dark
But when it's day I have no name
Cos we are our voices in the dark
But in the day we're all the same
There were years spent before here
Riding in the dust
And there were years spent before here
Riding in the dust
I name me Shirley in the dark
But when it's day I have no name
Cos we are our voices in the dark
But in the day we're all the same
Seven years' abundance
Before seven years of famine
Coming to an end
It's coming to an end somewhere in the West.
