There's never a star in this sky Never a boat in this sea Only the voice of a thousand lies Choking the truth out of me Until I've fallen immune to her lies Or learned to turn a deaf ear to her pleas I will never begin to be satisfied She'll never again let me be Don't let her turn your temperance Away from the simple and sound Or she will damn you darkly down At the bottom of the bottle it makes no difference If I keep drinkin' or drown Cause I can't go much lower than I am right now By the time I find my home I'll be all scars and broken bones A head full of lies, a heart of stone Voice like a freight train's cold whistle moan No, no I cannot promise nothing That I cannot know for sure I won't say never or forever I have told those lies before Please don't ask me to proclaim, my love That my love for you will grow That I desire to love you 'til I die Ain't that all you need to know But your desires burn like fires Then they quickly flicker down And all the while your constant smile Will never show the fires went out And when they do you won't come home one night And you'll leave me all alone So don't tell me of desire my love Tell me true, you'll never go Or by the time you find your home You'll be all scars and broken bones A head full of lies, a heart of stone Voice like a freight train's cold whistle moan
