Each Day Of Sorrow
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.
Well I ain't been baptized
I ain't got no church
No friend in Jesus
And what makes matters worse
I've lost myself
Into the dark
Scared and alone
With no love in my heart
Each day of sorrow
Brings me closer to goodbye
If I weren't so afraid
I'd lay down and die
I guard it so closely
What I feel in my soul
And when I received love
I just let it go
And I called out for help
I found myself alone
Did I believe anything?
I don't know
Each day of sorrow
Brings me closer to goodbye
If I weren't so afraid
I'd lay down and die
So all of you angels
Don't waste your words
Dog-gone my soul
I aint' no good
This life is too much trouble
For a fellow like me
If I had something to give you
I'd give it to you for free
Each day of sorrow
Brings you closer to goodbye
If I weren't so afraid
I'd lay down and die
Well I ain't been baptized
I ain't got no church
