Overnight Bag

Rory Gallagher · Notes From San Francisco [2011]

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
