Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc. Etc. (1986)

"Honky Tonk Man"

Chorus:
Well I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old juke box
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singing
Hey hey mama can your daddy come home

Now I'm living wild and dangerously
But I've got plenty of company
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down
I can't wait to see the lights of town

Chorus

A pretty little girl and a jug of wine
Well that's what it takes to make a honky tonk time
With the juke box moaning those honky tonk sounds
I can't wait to lay my money down

Chorus

"It Won't Hurt"

Chorus:
It won't hurt when I fall down from this bar stool
And it won't hurt when I stumble in the street
It won't hurt 'cause this whiskey eases misery
But even whiskey cannot ease your hurting me

Today I had another bout with sorrow
You know this time I almost won
If this bottle would just hold out 'til tomorrow
I know that I'd have sorrow on the run

Chorus

Your memory comes back up with each sunrise
I reach out for the bottle and find it's gone
Yeah, Lord, somewhere every night the whiskey leaves me
To face this cold, cold world on my own

Chorus

"I'll Be Gone"

I watch as you take off your clothes and slip under the sheets
Then I turn and kick the boots off my feet
I pull you close without a word 'cause there's no need to speak
Girl, beauty like yours is hard to beat

Chorus:
But I'll be gone in the morning, in the morning I'll be gone
'Cause I'm not one for hanging on
Please don't think that you done something wrong
In the morning when you wake and find me gone

Just a look from those fiery eyes can all but erase
The memory of any other's face
And the passion they unleash could cause me to misplace
And lose all track of time without a trace

Chorus

The sun intrudes and throws across the room its golden tracks
Shake the dreams, now it's back to facts
As I turn to leave I know you had what so many lack
Maybe someday that'll bring me back

Chorus

But I'll be gone in the morning, in the morning I'll be gone
'Cause I'm not one for hanging on
Please don't think that you done something wrong
In the morning when you wake and find me gone
In the morning when you wake and find me gone

"South of Cincinnati"

Chorus:
If you ever get south of Cincinnati down where the dogwood trees grow
If you ever get south of the Mason Dixon to the home you left so long ago
If you get south of the Ohio River down where Dixieland begins
If you ever get south of Cincinnati I'll be yours again

She pulled the letter from the pages of her Bible
And a rose pressed inside the Book of Luke
For fourteen years she'd write each day but keep it hidden
Refused to even speak his name, but still she wrote:

Chorus

At a cold grey apartment in Chicago
A cigarette drowns inside a glass of gin
He lies there drunk, but it don't matter drunk or sober
He'll never read the words that pride won't let her send

Chorus

Then I'll be yours again

"Bury Me"

Chorus:
Bury me along the Big Sandy
Down in those glue, grey mountains
Rest my soul in those hills of coal
Until this old earth does tremble

Now don't you mourn for me when my soul is free
Woman don't you cry
You just bury me along the Big Sandy
Under a blue Kentucky sky

This old town of sin, it's about to do me in
I don't know how much I can stand
With my knees on the street and my heart at their feet
I'm forced to beg from Satan's hand

Chorus

When I came to this land I was strong and I could stand
But now I've somehow gone astray
Yet I still see the truth in the teaching of my youth
And I that the Lord ain't turned away

Chorus

Under a blue Kentucky sky

"Guitars, Cadillacs"

Girl you taught me how to hurt real bad and cry myself to sleep
You showed me how this town can shatter dreams
Another lesson about a naive fool that came to Babylon
And found out that the pie don't taste so sweet

Chorus:
Now it's guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music
And the lonely, lonely streets that I call home
Yeah my guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on

There ain't no glamour in this tinseled land of lost and wasted lives
And painful scars are all that's left of me
But thank you girl for teaching me brand new ways to be cruel
And if I can find my mind now, I guess I'll just leave

Chorus

It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on
It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on

"Twenty Years"

Hey look yonder, Henry, comes the sherrif
And he's carrying a warrant in his hand
Don't you run, poor old Henry, for he'll shoot you
Not long will you be a free man

Chorus:
Now twenty years you must spend behind steel bars
For a crime that you did not do
Yeah the lie she swore in that district court
Has proved to be the ruin of you

Tried to warn you, Henry, not to cross her
Tried to tell you about her vengeful ways

When you turned and left her for another
She swore, Henry, that she'd make you pay

Chorus

Listen well, all you young rounders
Head the lesson poor old Henry never learned
That even hell with all its fiery power
Hath no fury like a woman's scorn

Chorus

Yeah the lie she swore in that district court
Has proved to be the ruin of you

"Ring Of Fire"

Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire

Chorus:
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down, and the flams climbed higher
And it burned, burned, burned, the ring of fire
The ring of fire

The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
Ooh but the fire went wild

Chorus

Repeat Chorus

"Miner's Prayer"

When the whistle blows each morning
And I walk down in that cold, dark mine
I say a prayer to my dear Saviour
Please let me see the sunshine one more time

Chorus:
When oh when will it be over
When will I lay these burdens down
And when I die, dear Lord, in heaven
Please take my soul from 'neath that cold, dark ground

I still grieve for my poor brother
And I still hear my dear old mother cry
When late that night they came and told her
He'd lost his life down in the Big Shoal Mine

Chorus

I have no shame, I feel no sorrow
If on this earth not much I own
I have the love of my sweet children
An old plow mule, a shovel and a hoe

Chorus

Yeah when I die, dear Lord, in heaven
Please take my soul from 'neath that cold, dark ground

"Heartaches By The Number"

Heartache Number One was when you left me
I never knew that I could hurt this way
Heartache Number Two was when you came back again
You came back and never meant to stay

Chorus:
Now I've got heartaches by the number
Troubles by the score
Everyday you love me less
Each day I love you more

Now I've got heartaches by the number
A love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting
That's the day my world will end

Heartache Number Three was when you called me
And told me you was coming home to stay
With hoping heart I waited for your knock on the door
I waited but you must have lost your way

Chorus

Ah the day that I stop counting
That's the day my world will end

Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room (1988)

"I Got You"

I've had to buy back damn near everything I own
From a little man whose name is Saul
And has a lot of money to loan
I drive a beat up '67 Chevrolet
With a torn up seat
That pokes a brand new hole in my back near every day
I got a letter from the folks over at Bell
Just to let me know for my next phone call
I could walk outside and yell
Hey, I know my life seems a mess
But honey, things to me still look real swell

Chorus:
'Cause I got you to see me through
Yeah, I've got you to chase my blues
I've got you to ease my pain
Yeah, I've got you, girl, to keep me sane
So let them do what they want to do
'Cause it don't matter long as I've got you

I've got the landlord breathing down my neck for rent
He don't give a damn about my kids or where the money was spent
And after all those years of payin' union dues
It sure don't seem to count for much when we got our layoff news
I got a note from the man over at the bank
Said the next 10 gallons of gas I buy won't be going in my tank
Hey, I know I might seem near dead
But honey, I think I might just get well

Chorus

Yeah, let 'em go right ahead and sue
'Cause it don't matter long as I got you

"One More Name"

My friends tried to tell me you were steppin' around
But I wouldn't hear it, I shut them all down
But now I'm a thinkin' you've made a fool out of me
'Cause the words that are slippin' spell grief and misery

Chorus:
One more name, one more name you call out in your sleep
One more name and I'll know it's not a lie
One more name, one more name that from your lips does creep
One more name and our love will surely die

Haunted and tortured by the rumors about you
Listening in silence to whispers of truth
Deceived by the soft kiss you forge every day
While each night those same lips give your secrets away

Chorus

"I Sang Dixie"

Chorus:
I sang Dixie as he died
People just walked on by as I cried
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride
So I sang Dixie as he died

He said way down yonder in the land of cotton
Old times there ain't near as rotten as they are
On this damned old L.A. street
Then he drew a dying breath
And laid his head against my chest
Please Lord take his soul back home to Dixie

Chorus

He said listen to me son while you still can
Run back home to that Southern land
Don't you see what life here has done to me?
Then he closed those old blue eyes
And fell limp against my side
No more pain, now he's safe back home in Dixie

Chorus

I sang Dixie as he died

"Streets of Bakersfield"

I came here looking for something
I couldn't find anywhere else
Hey, I'm not trying to be nobody
Just want a chance to be myself

I've done a thousand miles of thumbin'
I've worn holes in both my heels
Trying to find me something better
On the streets of Bakersfield

Chorus:
You don't know me but you don't like me
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

Spent some time in San Francisco
Spent a night there in the can
They throw this drunk man in my jail cell
Took fifteen dollars from that man
Left him my watch and my old house key
Don't want folks thinkin' that I'd steal
Then I thanked him as I was leaving, and
I headed for the streets of Bakersfield

Chorus

Chorus

How many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

This Time (1993)

"Pocket of a Clown"

Inside the pocket of a clown
Is a sad place to hang around
Just watching smiles turn into frowns
Inside the pocket of a clown

Inside the heartache of a fool
You'll learn things they don't teach in school
And lessons there can be real cruel
Inside the heartache of a fool

Hollow lies
Make a thin disguise
As little drops of truth
Fall from your eyes

Hollow lies
Make a thin disguise
As little drops of truth
Fall from your eyes

Inside a memory from the past
Lives every love that didn't last
And sweet dreams can start to fade real fast
Inside a memory from the past

It's a real sad place to hang around
Inside the pocket of a clown

"A Thousand Miles From Nowhere"

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be

I got heartaches in my pocket
I've got echoes in my head
And all that I keep hearing
Are the cruel, cruel things that you said

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be

Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I

I got bruises on my memory
I got tear stains on my hands
And in the mirror there's a vision
Of what used to be a man

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be

"Home For Sale"

Home for sale
That's much too large
Too many rooms
Big ole empty yard
Far more space
Than the owner needs
Price includes
All memories

Home for sale
Restored like new
Just a place
Two lives outgrew
A change in heart
Forces move away
Would like to keep
But just can't stay

Listen close and you might hear the sound
Of what you think is rainfall leaking down
The roof is fine
Set aside your fears
It's just a few remaining tears

Home for sale
Not all that old
A family's dream
Stands dark and cold
Scenic views
That go for free
Of all the love
Thta used to be

Home for sale
That's much too large

"This Time"

This time
Is the last time
That'll I'll ever call her name
This time
Is the last time
That'll I'll ever play her game
And this time
Is the last time
That I'll endure this pain
'Cause this time
Is the last time
She'll ever hurt me again

I tell myself each morning
That we're through
But every night I see
That it's not true
I run out
And track her down
Just so I can hang around
And cry

This time
Is the last time
That'll I'll ever call her name
This time
Is the last time
That'll I'll ever play her game
And this time
Is the last time
That I'll endure this pain
'Cause this time
Is the last time
She'll ever hurt me again

Come on heart let's make believe we're fine
We'll both agree the pain's just in our mind
I'll close my eyes and try not to hear
The things I'll say when she appears
To haunt me

This time
Is the last time
That'll I'll ever call her name
This time
Is the last time
That'll I'll ever play her game
And this time
Is the last time
That I'll endure this pain
'Cause this time
Is the last time
She'll ever hurt me again

"Two Doors Down"

Two doors down there's a jukebox
That plays all night long
Real sad songs
All about me and you
Two doors down there's a barmaid
That serves 'em real strong
Here lately
That's how I make it through
Two doors down there's a heartache
That once was my friend
Two doors down there's a memory
That won't ever end

Two doors down there's a barstool
That knows me by name
And we sit there together
And wait for you
Two doors down there's a bottle
Where I take out my shame
And hold it up
For the whole world to view
Two doors down there's a pay phone
But no calls come in
Two doors down there's a memory
That won't ever end

From the hotel to the barroom
Is just a stumble and a fall
And sometimes when it gets bad
I've been known to crawl
Freedom from sorrow
Is just two doors away
I'll escape for a short time
But I know I can't stay

Two doors down is where they'll find me
When you're finally through
Taking what's left of my life
Two doors down is where they'll leave me
When payment comes due
For the hours I've spent there each night
Two doors down I'll be forgotten
But until then
Two doors down there's a memory
That won't ever end

"Ain't That Lonely Yet"

Now you keep calling me
On the telephone
Telling me you're all alone
Well that's so sad

And you keep leavin'
Notes stuck on my door
Guess you're hungry for some more
Girl that's too bad

'Cause I ain't that lonely yet
No I ain't that lonely yet
After what you put me through
I ain't that lonely yet

Now once there was this spider
In my bed
I got caught up in her web
Of love and lies

She spun her chains
Around my heart and soul
Never to let go
But I survived

'Cause I ain't that lonely yet
No I ain't that lonely yet
After what you put me through
I ain't that lonely yet

There's nothing left
That you can do
To try and bring me 'round
'Cause everything you do
Just brings me down

'Cause I ain't that lonely yet
No I ain't that lonely yet
After what you put me through
I ain't that lonely yet

Hey I ain't that lonely yet
No I ain't that lonely yet
After what you put me through
I ain't that lonely yet

"King Of Fools"

As you look into my eyes
And tell those empty lies
I'll pretend they're true
'Cause that's what I do

As you sit and hold my hand
And smile at other men
I'll pretend I'm blind
'Cause I'm just that kind

I'm the king of fools
And I'll always reign
Over lonliness and pain
The king of fools wears his crown
Wherever misery can be found

I'm the king of fools
And I'll always reign
Over lonliness and pain
The king of fools wears his crown
Wherever misery can be found

As you walk away with him
And I lose in love again
I'll pretend to see
That you're still with me
But I'll be there all alone
Like a king upon a throne
'Cause I'm the king of fools
I'm the king of fools

"Fast As You"

Maybe someday I'll be strong
Maybe it won't be long
I'll be the one who's tough
You'll be the one who's got it rough
It won't be long and
Maybe I'll be real strong

Maybe I'll do things right
Maybe I'll start tonight
You'll learn to cry like me
Baby let's just wait and see
Maybe I'll start tonight
And do things right

You'll control me
And oh so boldly
Rule me til I'm free
'Til the pain that shakes me
Finally makes me
Get up off my knees

Maybe I'll be fast as you
Maybe I'll break hearts too
I think that you'll slow down
When your turn to hurt comes around
Maybe I'll break hearts
And be as fast as you

You'll control me
And oh so boldly
Rule me til I'm free
'Til the pain that shakes me
Finally makes me
Get up off my knees

Maybe I'll be fast as you
Maybe I'll break hearts too
I think that you'll slow down
When your turn to hurt comes around
Maybe I'll break hearts
And be as fast as you

"Try Not To Look So Pretty"

Try not to look so pretty
The next time that we meet
Please don't look so pretty
And I won't act so weak
Please don't look so pretty
You're lovely but it's just cruel
Try not to look so pretty
And I'll try not to be your fool

You walk in and steal my mind
But who gave you the right
To treat me like some useless thought
You throw away each night

Please don't look so pretty
You're lovely but it's just cruel
Try not to look so pretty
And I'll try not to be your fool

You make it hard on me
But I'll try to pretend
That you're just a lovesick dream
That always has to end

Please don't look so pretty
You're lovely but it's just cruel
Try not to look so pretty
And I'll try not to be your fool

"Wild Ride"

I walked in
There said slim
Cleaning up his memory with some sapphire gin
Mr. Paine grabbed my arm
Pulled me aside
And said kid are you ready for the wild ride

I looked up
There she stood
I said if you didn't look so great
I'd say you look good
She took her hand
Ran it up my thigh
And said cowboy you ready for the wild ride

Come on now junior take the wild ride
See can you make it on the wild ride
Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride
'Cause things start breakin' on the wild ride

Layin' on the highway
I saw my mind
In tiny little pieces thrown from side to side
My heart was shattered along with my pride
Guess you can't keep 'em on the wild ride

Come on now junior take the wild ride
See can you make it on the wild ride
Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride
'Cause things start breakin' on the wild ride

I was crawlin' 'cross the floor
I was trying to leave
when I felt something tuggin' what was left of my sleeve
I heard a little voice with a gold-plated vibe
Say I bought a ticket for the wild ride

Come on now junior take the wild ride
See can we make it on the wild ride
Let's try to shake it on the wild ride
We might just break it on the wild ride

Come on now junior take the wild ride
See can we make it on the wild ride
Let's try to shake it on the wild ride
We might just break it on the wild ride

Come on come on
Take me on the wild ride
See can you make me on the wild ride
Come on an' shake me on the wild ride
You might just break me on the wild ride

"Lonesome Roads"

Where did I go wrong
You know I've never had a clue
I must have just been born no good
'Cause bad's the best that I can do

Was it just my fate in life
To end up here this way
Lost and all alone
One more black lamb
That's gone astray

Lonesome roads are the only kind I ever travel
Empty rooms are the only place I ever stay
I'm just a face out in the crowd that looks like trouble
Poor ol' worthless me is the only friend I ever made

Lonesome roads are the only kind I ever travel
Empty rooms are the only place I ever stay
I'm just a face out in the crowd that looks like trouble
Poor ol' worthless me is the only friend I ever made

Gone (1995)

"Sorry You Asked?"

Chorus:
You'll be sorry you asked me the reason
That she's not here with me tonight
And I know you were probably just acting polite
But you'll be sorry you ever asked why

We started having problems in August last year
So things had been kinda rough for quite awhile
And you know how you think it'll work itself out
Well mister that thought's wrong by a long, long mile

Chorus

I mighta, shoulda seen that we were drifting apart
But I was in what I guess you'd call denial
And I always heard they say that you're the last one to know
Well buddy I was last by a long, long while

Chorus

Okay we both have the tendency to overreact
So I can't really tell you who's at fault
But there were certain third parties, well her sister for one
Who helped bring our reconciling to a drop-dead halt

Now aren't you sorry you asked me the reason
Taht she's not here with me tonight
And I know you were probably just acting polite
But I'm sure sorry you ever asked why
Aren't you sorry you ever asked why
I'm sure sorry you ever asked why

Did I tell you how she tried to have me locked out of the hosue
I had to go hire a lawyer and all
But I know that was mostly her family's idea
I could hear 'em tell her what to say every time I'd call

"Near You"

Everywhere you go each day I will be near you Oh and dear you
Don't even have to say much for me to hear you
Because it's clear you
Have a very simple way to keep me near you

Oh yeah dear
Through the power of love
Through the power of love

Every morning, night and noon I will be near you Oh and dear you
Won't even have to do much for me to feel you
Are sincere you
Like a magnet pull so strong it keeps me near you

Oh yeah dear
Through the power of love
Through the power of love

I could try to just lie and tell people I'm free
Like a wave telling sand it won't go back to the sea
But what I say doesn't do no good
Like I ever thought it would

Everywhere you go each day I will be near you Oh and dear you
Don't even have to say much for me to hear you
Because it's clear you
Have a very simple way to keep me near you

Oh yeah dear
Through the power of love
Through the power of love

Through the power of love
Through the power of love

"Don't Be Sad"

Chorus:
Don't be sad 'cause you got what you wanted
You should be glad to know that I'm finally gone
Don't feel bad or be disappointed
'Cause you got what you wanted all along

Wasn't it you who said a blinded fool could see the
Clear plain truth about how deeply cruel it is
Live a lie here with each other
And mourn a love that won't recover
As I recall those were the very words I heard you use

Chorus

Wasn't it me who asked so stupidly if there were
Things that I could maybe do or try to somehow
Hold what fell apart together
But you just coldly told me never
To even entertain the thought that our love would survive

Chorus

"Gone (That'll Be Me)"

Chorus:
That'll be me you'll see walking away
That'll be me you'll see for the last time today
That'll be me you'll see for not very long
'Cause that'll be me you'll see
That'll be gone

Remember how you warned me 'bout all your leavin' plans
Well I know this might seem unexpected
So prepare yourself the best you can

Chorus

Think back on when you threatened
And never left no doubt
Although this could be kinda sudden
I'm sure you can figure it all out

Chorus

"Nothing"

I couldn't change your heart
I couldn't change your mind
So I just had to learn to live with
This empty life you left behind

You didn't try to hear
You didn't try to see
You just stared right through the teardrops
Like there was nothing left of me

Nothing but sorrow,
Nothing but pain
Nothing but memories that whisper your name
Nothing but sadness,
Nothing but fear
Nothing but silence is heard around here

Bridges were burned
Lessons were learned
Promises made that were broken
Tender lies softly spoken

Nothing but sorrow,
Nothing but pain
Nothing but memories that whisper your name
Nothing but sadness,
Nothing but fear
Nothing but silence is heard around here

"Never Hold You"

I've seen 'em watch you and
Make plans what they'll do when
Someday you are no longer mine

I've heard 'em carry on about
How when I'm finally gone they're
Gonna treat you oh so fine

But I could have told them that
They'd never hold you if they tried

I could have toldthem
You bend and fold men who
Thought they would have you as a prize
I could have told them
Those foolish soul'd men that
They'd never hold you if they tried

I've been made real aware of
Pleasure that they'll share with
You soon as I slip your mind

I've listened to 'em boast how
I'll just be a ghost once
They start taking up your time

But I could have told them that
They'd never hold you if they tried

"This Much I Know"

This much I know
She'll never come back to me
This much I know
She meant what she said
This much I know
It's taught me all about misery
I just learn kinda slow
This much I know

This much I feel
I should have reached out to her
This much I feel
I tried it too late
This much I feel
How empty the world can be
And so painfully real
This much I feel

I've had second thoughts about every reason
We let love slip away from our lives
And there's no place left to look
That I don't see some small reminder
Of all the chances I just let go by

This much I need
To wake up once and find she's not gone
This much I need
But I'll never have
This much I need
Words to speak without missing her
Or just some new way to breathe
This much I need

"Baby Why Not"

Oh baby why not
Just take one more chance
And risk all we got
On this luckless romance
If someone asks why
We'll say we forgot

And went kinda crazy
Oh baby why not

If love needs a fool for it to survive
It sure looks to me like we both qualify
And a pair of fools will always beat one
So let's play the cards and get this deal done

Oh baby why not
Bet big on the bliss
And laugh in the face
Of what all odds insist
If someone asks why
We'll say we forgot
And both lost our minds
Oh baby why not

Oh baby please
You and I are exactly what we need
So let's throw away all care
Move out on the edge somewhere
Find a place and just swing there in the breeze

Oh baby why not
Just take one more chance
And risk all we got
On this luckless romance
If someone asks why
We'll say we forgot
And threw our lives away
Oh baby why not
And went kinda crazy
Oh baby why not
And both lost our minds
Oh baby why not

"One More Night"

One more night and I know
That I'll be over you
One more night and I know
That the worst is through
And if I can make this heart
Just believe it too
Then one more night and I know
That I'll be over you

One more night and I know
That I'll forget your voice
One more night and I know
That I can make that choice
And ignore the awful sounds
That come when love's destroyed
One more night and I know
That'll I'll forget your voice

Bridge:
I'll escapge it if I learn to take it
And just survive two or three
of the next million thoughts
That I have about you and me
(Bridge)

One more night and I know
One more night and I know
One more night and I know
One more night and I know

"Heart Of Stone"

Chorus:
This heart of stone sure is missing you
Sure is wishing you were back where love belongs
This heart of stone has not forgotten you
But broke while trying to pretend that it was strong

Memories have made its will grow tired and weak
Silently it turned from being bold to meek
'Til finally it gave into a sad defeat
Aching more and more with every fragile beat

Chorus

Loneliness has slowly stripped it of its pride
Leaving just an empty well here behind
Without a hope of any way it could survive
Stranded there alone and simply left to die

Chorus
