I had it all
or should I say, I saw it all
And it'a a long way from the dust-bin of New Jersey to the top
Who would've known
Who would've known
I had a dream
but dreams had other plans for me
For 30 years I set the thermostat where Frank Sinatra liked it
(? - pulled -?) his girls and all his hats (?)
I never knew which ones were mine
Now he's gone
And I'm alone
(refrain)
And I don't know where I might be goin'
I know that when the winds stop blowing
Set me on the roadside (? - going/driving/coming -?) home
But home for me was always someone else you know
that shadows always fall when the sun goes down
I shook the hands
of mafia dons and presidents

And though they always smiled politely
(From: http://www.elyrics.net)
with a measure of decorum
still their eyes would scan beyond me
for a glimpse of something more
But now he's gone
and now they're gone
(refrain)
And I don't know where I might be goin'
I know that when the winds stop blowing
Set me on the roadside (? - going/driving/coming -?) home
But home for me was always someone else you know
that shadows always fall when the sun goes down
Alone
A shadow of a star, don't-cha know
that shadows always fall, yeah shadows always fall
when the sun goes down
(refrain)
And I don't know where I might be goin'
I know that when the winds stop blowing
Set me on the roadside (? - going/driving/coming -?) home
But home for me was always someone else you know
