Feeling blue, missing you
Knowing you're hurting too
I'm needing you, you know I do
What you did you never knew
Looking back up the track
Loving me broke your back
Not a word, not a sound
You kept my feet on the ground
All night long
Time drags on
Love holds strong, I will
I don't write off the wrong
Letters come, letters go
Who will read, we never know
Another day, another year
The written word is all I hear
Do we all agree with you
Are you the judge? Overthrew
You killed a man, you say you lied
You didn't run, you didn't hide
All night long
Time drags on
Love holds strong, I will
I don't write off the wrong
Daily survival, years go so slow
Lady Survival, you'll never know
Feeling blue, missing you
Knowing you're hurting too
I'm needing you, you know I do
What you did you never knew
All night long
Time drags on
Love holds strong, I will
I don't write off the wrong
