Lyrics
Sick Man Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The darkness hides your eyes so 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 try to give me up and flirted with my time
Guess you broke the promise you made somewhere down the line
You're a struggle, oh you're a struggle
You paid for all my pills and left me in the past
You were a good girl honey, you just couldn't make it last
Your love carries the rhinestone of a plague
So bear in mind the lives that you, that you could save
And I'm bound to walk the darkness again
And I'm bound to walk the darkness again
Ooohhhhhh Oooohhhhhh
I know I'm not that easy to live with day to day
You painted your own picture then I let you have your say
Yea I'm a sinner, oh I'm a sinner
My love it sits untainted to the rigors of your stare
There ain't nobody like you and the fairness of your hair
It leaves me stranded, oh it leaves me stranded
This life is too long, too long for me to keep
You should bear that in mind and try the pain you reap
Your love is like the rhinestone of a plague
So bear in mind the lives that you could save
Your love is like the rhinestone of a plague
So bear in mind the lives that you could save
I'm bound to walk the darkness again
I'm bound to walk the darkness again
