Too Late For Me Blues

London bridge has fallen
The queen of England has lost her crown
London bridge has fallen
The queen of England has lost her crown
No more watchman on the wall 
And Humpty Dumpty done hit the ground 
.
The river Rhine is running backwards 
Flowers won't bloom in midday sun
The river Rhine is running backwards 
Flowers won't bloom in midday sun
The ground is dead and the seed won't grow 
And I can't stand and I can't run
.
It's pitch black dark in New York City 
And east won't release the rising of the sun 
It's pitch black dark in New York City 
And east won't release the rising of the sun 
Lacuna beach waits patiently 
But that light don't ever come
.
My heart's as cold as winter midnight  
Spirit dry, as desert sand 
My heart's as cold as winter midnight  
Spirit dry, as desert sand 
Mind lost at sea and body sinking
Not even Jesus would hold my hand
