From the recordings Love, And Other Misadventures and Loneliness is Killing
Lyrics
I’m-a hopin’ that you’re willing, and I’m-a wishing that you would
Lay down your arms and bring your car back to our neighborhood
There’s no hope for me in moving on, no matter if I should
Now that loneliness is killing—I’ll get over her for good
Blood on the page is spilling; lose my head after a while
When the pen runs out of ink, I lay in bed just like a child
It’s best never to linger—I would stop it if I could
Now that loneliness is killing—soon I’ll be over her for good
There’s no meaningful relation without a sacrifice of heart
It’s laid bare on the pavement by the time the feeling starts
Then suddenly you’re crawlin’ in the places where you stood
Now that loneliness is killing—I’ll get over her for good
No cigarettes or whiskey goin’ to see me to my death
No cocaine or amphetamines goin’ to get my final breath
Now, that’s not exactly sayin’ that I’ll make it through the woods
‘Cause now that loneliness is killing—soon I’ll be over her for good
Well, I try to fight the morning; at the least to shield my eyes
And there’s nothin’ worse than sunny days when you feel like rain inside
I can see the end arriving; at the least it’s understood
Now that loneliness is killing—I’ll be over her for good
