From the recording Until It Passes By
Lyrics
The sun is slowly setting
And the pain is settling in
So begins another endless night
Of coping with my sins
Well I lived a life of recklessness
Filled with whiskey, lies and hurt
I only cared about myself
I treated everyone like dirt
Well it seems I’ve always been running
From what I’ll never know
But it looks like it has a hold of me now
And it will never let go
Chorus
Well I had many a chance
But I threw them all away
Now I sit here just wasting away
I had friends and I had loved ones
But I turned them all away
Now I sit here just wasting away
I had a good women once
And she offered me her heart
But like a fool I took it for granted
And tore that heart apart
Together we had a daughter
And at the tender age of three
I left that child and shot out west
And she never again heard from me
Well it seems I’ve always been running
From what I’ll never know
And it looks like it has a hold of me now
And it will never let go
Chorus
Well I had many a chance
But I threw them all away
Now I sit here just wasting away
I had friends and I had loved ones
But I turned them all away
Now I sit here just wasting away
