Sick Man Blues

The darkness hides your eyes
 Though it's not for me to tell
 You never treat me kind, you think that I'm unwell
 It's such a shame, it's such a shame
 You tried to give me up and flirted with my time
 I guess you broke the promise you made
 Somewhere down the line
 Oh you're a struggle, oh you're a struggle
 You paid for all my pills that left me in the past
 You were a good girl, honey
 You just couldn't make it last
 And your love carries the rhinestone of a, of a plague
 So bear in mind the lives you could save
 'Cause I'm bound to walk the darkness again
 And I'm bound to walk the darkness again
 I know, I know
 And I know I'm not that easy to live with day to day
 If you painted your own picture
 Then I'd let you have your say
 Yeah I'm a sinner, I'm a sinner
 But my love it sits untainted to the rigors of your stare
 There ain't anybody like you and the fairness of your hair
 Leaves me stranded, it leaves me stranded
 This life it's too long, too long for me to keep
 You should bear that in mind and try the pain you reap
 That you reap now, that you reap
 And your love carries the rhinestone of a, of a plague
 So bear in mind the lives you could save
 Your love carries the rhinestone of a, of a plague
 So bear in mind the lives you could save, that you could save
 'Cause I'm bound to walk the darkness again
 And I'm bound to walk the darkness again
 And I'm bound to walk the darkness again
