My lover
Left me for dead
Got under my skin
Then said it's all in my head
My lover
Left me for dead
My pretty little body
Keeps the wolves fed
But I can't force this, I
No, I can't make him stay
Got too much love to give
To let it sit here and decay
Our love is just beyond our reach
The ship has sunk
But still I stay there
To wash upon the beach
My lover
Left me out in the cold
He's busy chasing silver
Got no room for gold
My lover
Left me out in the cold
Bittersweet to her place
Or so I'vе been told
But I can't force this, I
No, I can't make him stay
Got too much love to givе
To let it sit here and decay
Our love is just beyond our reach
The ship has sunk
But still I stay there
To wash upon the beach
My lover
Left me for dead
Got me feeling blue
But all I see is red
My lover
Left me for dead
Heart full of love
And a belly full of lead
But I can't force this, I
No, I can't make him stay
Got too much love to give
To let it sit here and decay
Our love is just beyond our reach
The ship has sunk
But still I stay there
To wash upon the beach
My lover
Made a mistake
Run, better run, boy
Goodness' sake
Oh, lover
Says it was a mistake
He said he spot a gun
And the mud for the snakes
