Love Me Lonely

Blue is the color of my morning sun

Eternity's the reason why I never have to run

Sometimes verses tell me where I ought to go

On the breast of lonesome lullabies is where I lay my soul

My love speaks through cigarettes, her life folds in a trunk

She don't heed the church bells, 'cause time given is enough

If I'm to be a-leavin', she don't wonder why

Just holds me where she has me, never says goodbye

Love me lonely, love me none

Love me lonely, love me none

Sing another song, a few hours, I'll be gone

Time, it ain't escaping, it just rolls like the river runs

Laced up, lone, and lucky is the only road I've known

The way in which I'm walking, I won't ever be alone

My memories are with me, pinned to my lapel

And the road ahead shines brightly as the morning swells

Love me lonely, love me none

Love me lonely, love me none

I'll leave like I arrived, with my memories beside

Time, it ain't escaping, it just tumbles with the tide

Nothing is forever, the journey's never done

Moments move like hummingbirds and the earth circles the sun

When you find yourself sleepin' 'neath the stars

Just look on up and wonder exactly where you are

Love me lonely, love me none

Love me lonely, love me none

Sing another song, a few hours, I'll be gone

Moments burn like matches and the past is but a dream

Oh, moments burn like matches and the past is but a dream
