(Griggs/Byrd)
Things are black for me today All is gone and come what may Pride and greed has once more failed A ship of joy has once more sailed No need to worry about what's in store If you do it only hurts you more This time fate played a bad hand Now I'm a lonely lonely man Some say now and others then When death comes you know not when Play life's game with much intrigue You may lose and only bleed Things are black for me today All is gone and come what may Pride and greed has once more failed A ship of joy has once more sailed People speak of days passed on Then they say they can't go on When darkness pierces like a knife Shades of love must fill your life Some day now and others then When death comes you know not when Play life's game with much intrigue You may lose and only bleed No need to worry about what's in store If you do it only hurts you more This time fate played a bad hand Now I'm a lonely lonely man People speak of days passed on Then they say they can't go on When darkness pierces like a knife Shades of love must fill your life Some day now and others then When death comes you know not when Play life's game with much intrigue You may lose and only bleed
