Still spendin’ too much time mournin’ us in love
Wachin’ hours go on slippin’ away
That I can’t get back…
The gash in my heart you made, it can never heal
But the same ol’ wind’s a blowin’ through
Just like always.
Gotta keep this one eye lookin’ at today
‘Cause this other one’s not leavin’, oh,
The past behind me, no.
If I could lie once more in your tender arms
Then I could sleep in peace at long last
Cradled in your love.
Hey, someone come and cry for me
With teardrops from your dried-out eyes…
THE REAL FOLK BLUES!
I burn to know
What it is to feel true sadness in my soul
Been livin' my whole life stuck in the mud
But I can't say that it's really all that bad
If it's in just one round
That this game is over.
Despair drawn from the dreams I held long ago
And the trap that's waitin’ for me inside
This same chance — oh
What are the good and bad waitin’ in the world?
Oh, they’re nothin’ but the heads and the tails
Of the same coin.
They tell me time can heal all wounds
But how much longer will it take?
THE REAL FOLK BLUES!
I burn to know
What it is to feel true joy within my soul
When all that glitters bright — it looks like gold! —
But it isn’t, no, oh, no no no!
THE REAL FOLK BLUES!
I burn to know
What it is to feel true sadness in my soul
Been livin' my whole life stuck in the mud
But I can't say that it's really all that bad
If it's in just one round
That this game is over.
