The Lonesome Truth by Blair Crimmins and The Hookers Lyrics

Verse I
I’ve been waiting for your returning
I’m dreaming of your face until it appears
Nothing warm except the stove burning
and nothing singing accept the ring in my ears

I’m living alone as a godless man
So torn in between
of what I believe and understand
and none of that can bring you back

Chorus
I cried on the mound to grieve you
Lied facing the ground to breathe you
but all that I found
was the lonesome truth

Verse II
A dirge is playing out my window
the drums are beating like the day of the dead
Time without you marches so slow when
You’re all I needed now you’re all that I had
These shaking hands
they are to blame
So losing their grip
or else I would hold you just the same
but none of this can bring you back

Chorus
