Someday I won't come runnin' When you call The way you hurt me It's a wonder I'm still here at all
Someday you'll wake up And you'll find yourself alone Lock, stock and teardrops I'll be gone
I can't go on The way you make me feel You make me cry And every time expect me to forgive
Someday you'll wake up To a cold and lonely dawn Lock, stock and teardrops I'll be gone
Oh someday I'll wake up And find the strength to carry on And lock, stock and teardrops I'll be gone Lock, stock and teardrops Lock, stock and teardrops Lock, stock and teardrops I'll be gone
When it's sugarcane time And around about June I'll be walkin' with my sugar 'Neath that old sugar moon
All the lovin' I missed I'll be gettin' it soon I'll be gettin' it from my sugar 'Neath that old sugar moon
* I can see us right now Get the calendar down (And) Draw a circle around The day we're heaven bound When it's sugarcane time And around about June All the birds will be singin' 'Neath that old sugar moon
I wish I didn't love you so My love for you Should have ended long ago
I wish I didn't need your kiss Why must your kiss Torture me as long as this
*I might be smiling by now With some new tender friend Smiling by now With my heart on the mend But when I try Something in my heart says no You're still there I wish I didn't love you so
I'm feelin' mighty lonesome Haven't slept a wink I walk the floor from nine to four In between I drink Black coffee Love's a hand-me-down brew I'll never know a Sunday In this weekday room
I'm talkin to the shadow One o'clock till four And Lord, how slow the moments go And all I do is pour Black coffee Since the blues caught my eye I'm hangin' out on Monday My Sunday dreams to dry
Now man was born to go a lovin' But was a woman born to weep and fret And stay at home and tend her oven And down her past regrets In coffee and cigarettes
I'm moonin' all the mornin' Moanin' all the night And in between it's nicotine And not much heart to fight Black coffee Feelin' low as the ground It's drivin' me crazy This thinkin' 'bout my baby Might maybe come around Come around
I'm a shadow since you're gone Just a shadow in the dawn That breaks in the sand A shadow lost in shadowland
My poor hear just flew away When it realized one day The dreams that we planned Would only end in shadowland
I always wondered Why you had to go Whatever blunder I mad I don't know I guess that something Turned out wrong Didn't quite belong In this lover's song
I'm a shadow, but you know I'm the one who loves you so So please, take my hand And lead me out of shadowland And lead me out of shadowland
Don't let the stars get in your eyes Don't let the moon break your heart Love blooms at night In daylight it dies Don't let the stars get in your eyes Oh keep your heart for me For someday I'll return And you know (see) you're the only one I'll ever love
Too many nights, too many stars Too many moons could change your mind If I'm gone too long Don't forget where you belong when the stars come out Remember you are mine
(repeat *)
Too many miles, too many days Too many nights to be alone Oh please keep your heart While we're apart Dont't linger in the moonlight While I'm gone
Tears don't care who cries them They don't care at all Any time a heart starts breaking They will fall and fall
Rich man, poor man, beggar Tears can fill each eye They don't care who cries them You just cry, cry, cry
* Once my love and dreams Were in your keeping Then you walked away With someone new Once you laughed at me When (While) I was weeping What happened to me
Has happened to you Tears don't care who cries them But my eyes are dry I'm laughing now while you learn how To cry, cry, cry
The coffee's all gone And my eyes burn like fire It's way past the hour When most folks retire You told me you'd call me But you haven't yet And I'm down to my last cigarette
I'm down to my last cigarette For I know what made you forget You're sill out there somewhere With someone you met And I'm down to my last cigarette
I can't leave this room You might call while I'm gone The minutes seem like hours Its soon will be dawn And on top of all Of my tears and regrets I'm down to my last cigarette
I'm down to my last cigarette And I'm trying so hard to forget But you're still out there somewhere With someone you met And I'm down to my last cigarette Oh I'm down to my last cigarette
I'd have time on my hands Time to make some plans Time to take a different point of view I'd have time to be alone Time to stay out all night long But you know I'm too busy being blue
I'd have time to fool around Time to paint the town Time to spend each night with someone new Time to take a walk Time to sit and talk But you know I'm too busy being blue
I'd have time to leave behind Thoughts of you and all your kind Time to leave behind the world we knew But I'm still occupied Just remembering how we cried And you know I'm too busy being blue
In the evenin', in the evenin' Baby, when the sun goes down In the evenin', in the evenin' Baby, when the sun goes down Ain't it lonesome, ain't it lonesome When your baby can't be found
Well, now if you love your baby And you treat him right But he keeps on fussin' at you Every day and night He's gonna trifle on you
Oh come on in Miss Kitty
They'll do it every time And when your baby starts to steppin' Lord, you really lose your mind
Now if your baby's mean Take a tip from me Wanna lock him up at home And throw away the key He's gonna trifle on you Trifle on you They'll do it every time And when your baby starts to steppin' Lord, you really lose your mind
Blues stay away from me Blues why don't you let me be Don't know why you keep a hauntin' me
Love was never meant for me True love was never meant for me Seems somehow we never can agree
Where's my baby, where's my darlin' Baby, where you been so long Where's my baby, where's my darlin' Baby, where you been so long Drop the money in the jukebox And play another honky tonky song
she was a big boned gal from southern alberta you just couldn't call her small and you can bet every saturday night she'd be heading for the legion hall
put her blue dress on and she'd curl her hair oh she's been waiting all week and with a bounce in her step and a wiggle in her walk she'd be swinging down the street
you could tell she was ready by the look in her eye as she slipped in through the crowd she walked with grace as she entered the place ya, the big boned gal was proud
hey hey the big boned gal ain't no doubt hse's a natural shakin' and a'snakin' and a'breakin' up across the floor hey hey the big boned gal ain't no doubt she's a natural reelin' and a'rockin' and she's yelling out for more now people would come from miles around and gather there to dance but when the big boned gal came shufflin' in she'd hold them in a trance
I'm feelin' mighty lonesome Haven't slept a wink I walk the floor from nine to four In between I drink Black coffee Love's a hand-me-down brew I'll never know a Sunday In this weekday room
I'm talkin to the shadow One o'clock till four And Lord, how slow the moments go And all I do is pour Black coffee Since the blues caught my eye I'm hangin' out on Monday My Sunday dreams to dry
Now man was born to go a lovin' But was a woman born to weep and fret And stay at home and tend her oven And down her past regrets In coffee and cigarettes
I'm moonin' all the mornin' Moanin' all the night And in between it's nicotine And not much heart to fight Black coffee Feelin' low as the ground It's drivin' me crazy This thinkin' 'bout my baby Might maybe come around Come around
trail of broken hearts looking back at you now and from the start these words will travel true the godspeed of trust will settle the dust we've been passing through leaving just a part down the trail of broken hearts
broken trail so long a long and tired past an emptiness has gone i've found this place at last and here will remain with only the aim of staying sure and fast leaving just a part down the trail of broken hearts
I was alright for a while I could smile for a while then I saw you last night you held my hand so tight when you stopped to say hello you were wishing me well you couldn't tell that I'd been crying over you crying over you and you said "so long" and left me standing all alone alone and crying, crying, crying, crying it's hard to understand that the touch of your hand can start me crying
I thought that I was over you but it's true, oh so true I love you even more than I did before, oh darling what can I do No you don't love me and I'll always be crying over you, crying over you Now you're gone and from this moment on I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying, crying, crying, over you
