Ballad of A Broken Man

Lyrics

I got a letter on a cold lonesome morning Said you ain't half the man you were When I called you my friend I swore by you like an oath You burn the sails to your own boat And said bon voyage, adios We all break a promise or two Only got so many years to live for that excuse It's a long hard road and a lonely moon Its giving up and it's no use Sorrows deeper than the ocean Fills the rivers and the seas Joy's as empty as a bottle At least when she's been thru with me And I'm calling from the well A broken man with time to kill Can you hear me Can you hear me I caught that train, always been a hard luck man Tend to walk away from things I don't understand It's always one step closer 'til the end I'm always broken and never bent And I lament Lose it all at the end of the race Everything you love will soon return to the place I dreamt of your hand clasped in mine Walking thru the ashes of all time I said I love you Then you died Sorrows deeper than the ocean Fills the rivers and the seas Joy's as empty as a bottle At least when she's been thru with me And I'm calling from the well A broken man with time to kill Can you hear me Can you hear me I got a letter on a cold lonesome morning Said you ain't half the man you were When I called you my friend I swore by you like an oath You burn the sails to your own boat And said bon voyage, adios
