|
Consider me tamed. |
|
A life of disappointment and heartache sustains a southern melancholy like blood on the brain, |
|
a shadow on my soul that's so hard to lose, |
|
so hard to lose. |
|
And when old eyes bruise, |
|
oh Baby, it's you who stays fast as I am listing. |
|
My heart it sings true, |
|
but melodies go missing and sadness seeps through, |
|
a hand upon my shoulder that's so hard to move, |
|
so hard to move. |
|
And when old wounds tear, |
|
oh Baby what's there? |
|
Where angels collide, in danger I dwell. |
|
Stay by my side, don't leave me in peril. |
|
Who'll be my guide when the sunlight fails? |
|
Oh mercy, I'm tired, drunk on despair. |
|
Hope has expired, beyond repair. |
|
Who'll save the night when the sunlight fails and darkness prevails? |
