Al Kooper- Going Quietly mad

recorded back in 1969, but not too out of place in the current climate of self isolation

 

 

 

Going Quietly Mad
 
I am sitting here so softly
And I can hear my wristwatch ticking
Wish someone would come and help me
I'm going quietly mad


Tried to read the evening paper
Couldn't make it past page one
Wish someone would come and save me, baby
From going quietly mad


Got ripped off by the traveling salesman
I lost my job and my wallet too
I sold my heart to the junkman
I guess there's nothing left to do


Got a letter from my baby
Got a package from my dad
Wish that you were here to save me, baby
I'm going quietly mad


I am sitting here so softly
And I can hear my wristwatch ticking
Wish that you were here to save me, baby
From going quietly mad, I'm going quietly mad
I'm going quietly mad
