"Lost" lyrics

"Lost"

When you saw me in that boardwalk light
I was sober but I felt alright
I was lonesome but I did not care
I was happy on my own down there

You came on so friendly
Introducing her to me
Somehow something shifted
And I drifted out to sea

And I don't wish you tears
And I don't mean you harm
But I'm lost in your sweetheart's arms

Is she poison? Man, I just can't tell
I'm in heaven but I don't feel well

And here I stand a-talkin'
I don't expect to shake your hand
I don't know what you're thinkin'
But I hope you'll understand

That I don't wish you tears
And I don't mean you harm
But I'm lost in your sweetheart's arms

I've bought some tickets
And I've packed my clothes
'Cause I'm leaving and I hope she'll go

I'm going back to Memphis
And I'd like to change her name
Do I have her love or
Am I caught up in some game?

And I don't wish you tears
And I don't mean you harm
But I'm lost in your sweetheart's arms
