Early Grave Blues

I found a reason
 When I felt your heart against mine
 If it's any consolation
 You should know I'm doing fine
 Without you
 I never hoped you would be there
 But in the back of mind
 I always knew you were scared
 I felt everything I imagined
 That loss could feel like
 Get off of my mind babe
 Can't you hear me?
 What's a life for me to live without you near me?
 I found a reason but now it slipped away
 Right through the sweat in my hands
 To my early grave
 Oh what's it like babe?
 Hurting somebody that loves you so
 It's a shame you're the devil baby
 I'm afraid I have to go
 No hope to reconcile, it's way beyond those years
 Too much time I've lost from you
 I've lost so many tears
 So get off of my mind babe, can't you hear me?
 What's a life you expect me to lead
 Without you near me?
 I found a reason but now it slipped away
 Right through the sweat in my hands
 To my early grave
