Going Quietly Mad Lyrics

Al Kooper Going Quietly Mad

Kooper

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

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

Got ripped off by the traveling salesman
I lost my job & 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
