Lyrics
GONE A FORTNIGHT
I've been gone a fortnight
That took me with it
It seemed a long night
That had no limit
Been out of touch now
So long it hurts me
And if I try to explain away
What has happened to me today
All you'll hear is what I can say
Hey, hey, I'm funny that way
I dig a pony with pygmy fingers
I picked the wrong horse
But how she lingers
We're out of touch now
As she deserts me
And if I try to explain away
What has happened to me today
All you'll hear is what I can say
Hey, hey, I'm funny that way
I've been nowhere that I know of
I just sit here far away
Waiting for the girl who's here to stay
Hey, hey, hey
Been reading memoirs I haven't writ yet
Suppose I should do so before I forget
I lost my wife now
She was a Lennon
And if I try to explain away
What has happened to me today
All you'll hear is what I can say
Say, say, I'm funny that way
I've been nowhere that I know of
I just sit here far away
Waiting for the girl who's here to stay
Hey, hey, hey
Been gone a fortnight
With Sister Mabel
She brought me seltzer
I set the table
And for dessert had
Some milk and cookie
And if I try to explain away
What has happened to me today
All you'll hear is what I can say
Say, say, I'm funny that way
And if I try to explain away
What has happened to me today
All you'll hear is what I can say
Hey, hey, I'm funny that way
