Overnight Bag - Rory Gallagher

Packed my things in an overnight bag

A toothbrush and guitar, got no tail to drag

Gonna leave, on the next passing breeze

My heart is heavy, as a sky full of rain

Mind full of notions, that I just can’t explain

The reasons why, just can’t be supplied

Trapped by a heartache, and freed by my will

Sentenced to wander, so much time to kill

Hear my plea, and rescue me

Packed my sorrows in an overnight bag

But I’ll be gone much longer than that

Who knows when, we’ll meet again?

Too many sleepless nights, put my soul on edge

And so many restless moods, lay heavy in my head

Too many sleepless nights, put my soul on edge

And so many restless moods, lay heavy in my head

Wrote down my thoughts, and I sealed them in hope

Sent them to you in a blue envelope

Not received, it seems to me

I had some things that I wanted to say

But my chance, well it just blew away

On the breeze, like some mystery
