Alone Again

Last night it came upon me

Got the blues upon sunrise

As I reached to touch your shoulder,

I was struck by the surprise

You packed up your belongings

Stole away into the night

Nary a sign is left of you here

Guess I'll lay back down and cry

Why do they always leave me?

Happens just about every time

And I can feel you haunting

through the back pitch of my mind

There's never been any reason

Never been no way to explain

Seems that luck is out of season

unless it's bad, then down it rains

Growing colder by the minute

Getting hardened by the day

I'm a lonely, loathsome creature

But I don't want to be that way

A bitter wind chills me to the bone

The bottle is dry and I feel so alone

This house is so empty now that you're gone

And I face the fact that I've done you wrong, yeah

Now I'm sure that you had to leave me,

To save yourself and your sanity

You'll find another, and I pray he's good to you

Better than I could ever be

Hope you find just what you need, as I lay right here and bleed

Together we will never be!

Through my soul a stormy rain, wrapped up in my old friend pain, forever!

It's my destiny

Sometimes I think I know the way

but find myself in a strange land

where I don't know my name

Left to the dogs, hung out to dry

Wish I could lay right down and die

I'm tryin', but life's not done with me!

Bye bye, bye bye baby!
