Changes - Clarence Carter

Well I stayed up all night

I’ve been doing it for years

Sleep is not my friend 'cause dreams just feed my tears

So I laughed my way around

I’ve been everybody’s girl

I drank for forgiveness till I drank up the world

Change

Nobody’s here to hold me

Change

And the morning’s cold and lonely

But I think I can change my life

Change

There’s a light outside my window

Peepin' through the blinds

There’s a life out there worth livin'

But there’s nothing here to find

Just a book of people’s numbers

That are just as scared as me

Dialing for a dimes worth

Of pain and company

Change

Nobody’s here to hold me

Change

And the morning’s cold and lonely

But I think I can change my life

Change

No matter where I turn

There’s no escape I see

I’m just staring in this mirror

And that stranger can’t be me

But I think I can change my life

You’ll see a change in me

Well I’m sittin' in this room

With my cigarettes and wine

I’m out of all the other stuff

And now I’m running out of time

Change

Nobody’s here to hold me

Change

I’m so cold and so lonely

But I think I can change my life

You’ll see a change in me
