Rory Gallagher Overnight Bag lyrics

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
