Consider me tamed.
A life of disappointment
and heartache sustains
a southern melancholy
like blood on the brain
a shadow on my soul
that’s so hard to lose
so hard to lose.
And when old eyes bruise
oh Baby it’s you who
stays fast as I am listing.
My heart it sings true
but melodies go missing
and sadness seeps through
a hand upon my shoulder
that’s so hard to move
so hard to move.
And when old wounds tear
oh baby what’s there?
(Instrumental break / Southern Melancholy)
Where angels collide in danger I dwell.
Stay by my side don’t leave me in peril.
Who’ll be my guide when the sunlight fails?
Oh mercy I’m tired drunk on despair.
Hope has expired beyond repair.
Who’ll save the night
when the sunlight fails
and darkness prevails?
