Last Hope Is Gone
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.
Yeah, I'm gonna tell you a story, that you don't want to hear
Baby, I'm wanna tell you a story, one that you don't want to hear
Because it's about you, and you're losin', baby
And the end is drawing near
Well, if you don't understand, there's no reason for me to stay on
Yes, if you don't understand, baby, there's no reason for me to stay on
And I believe in you, woman
But I can't make a stand, so gather 'round
Yeah, your mind's been leavin', and your body's stayin' here
Yeah, your mind's been leavin' for a long time, but your body's stayin' here
And all this talkin' I've been doin', baby
There ain't a word that you can hear
Yeah, there's no flowers by this river, and there's no grass growin' around
Yeah, there's no flowers by this river, and there's no grass growin' around
Yeah, there's no water down by this river
And there's nobody makin' a sound
