High & Lonesome

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Let us toast to sweet sorrowLet us touch the cold hand of fateAnd let us forget all tomorrows in the shadow of todayAnd let us forgive their trespassFor they know not what they've doneIn the ruins of the gardenThe ground is blistered from the sunTry to keep what's buried in the groundAnd cry until the walls all tumble downAnd I make a high and lonesome soundCome, you rogues, come, you vulturesAnd taste the devil's own delightsThere are thrills and torturesSee all manner of strange sightsAnd the moonlight falls narcoticAs we wait for the undertowSpeaking words forbiddenAs the candles all glowTry to keep what's buried in the groundAnd cry until the walls all tumble downAnd I make a high and lonesome soundTry to keep what's buried in the groundAnd cry, oh, cry until the walls all tumble downAnd I make a high and lonesome soundAnd then we kissed along the riversideThe twilight came aliveThe water flowed, and the birds did singI knew I'd always be by your side
