Sit me down and make me sigh   Won't you tell me, sister, why it's true   That it all comes back for you      Sit me down and make me smile   Turn my teardrops for a while into   Another shade of blue      So I can carry on   Until the early morning   When I can say   I changed my mind      Sit me down and make me eat   Tell me sister, why your meat's so sweet   As your song is tender      Lie me down and make me sleep   Tell me why these poor eyes love to weep   Because I can't remember      But I can carry on   Until the early morning   When I can say   I changed my mind      Take my shoes, make me walk   Don't you know my feet, they're pretty soft   See, I'm a city boy      Tie me tight and watch me drown   And hang my picture from a post in town   That says "Missing since July"      So I can carry on   Until the early morning   When I can say   I changed my mind      Oh yes, I can carry on   Until the early morning   When I can say   I changed my mind      Sit me down, make me drink   Now I know why I so fear to blink   To prove I was not dreamin'      Whiskey red and coffee blue   California deja vu and you   And the last day I believed in      But I can carry on   Until the early morning   When I can say   I changed my mind      Yes, I can carry on   Until the early morning   When I can say   I changed my mind
