lyrics

If anybody asks for me, say:
"I think he went that way
I think he had a guitar in one of his hands"

I stop on every corner to think
I stop in every tavern to drink
And try to write a song that will earn me a couple more fans

If anyone wants to know
If I'm ever coming home
The answer is yes, once this loneliness has gone from me
The answer is yes, once this loneliness has gone from me

And I have my guitar
It's here by my side
And I have plenty of friends
I'm a popular guy
The nightlife and I
Are practically lovers

But the loneliness hurts
And it eats at my heart
I walk through the city's
Most dangerous parts
I go this way and that
Always thinking of her

If anybody asks for me, say:
"I think he went that way
I think he had a guitar in one of his hands"

I stop on every corner to think
I stop in every tavern to drink
And try to write a song that will earn me a couple more fans

If anyone wants to know
If I'm ever coming home
The answer is yes, once this loneliness has gone from me
The answer is yes, once this loneliness has gone from me

(I Am) Origami Pt.1 - The Universal Sigh

Remarkable vocalist and songwriter. His melodies soar, his drummer is one of the best in the game, and after meeting him a few times- I can attest that he is also a great person. George González
