LOVER’S LAMENT


WORDS amp; MUSIC: HANK “HOLY ROLLER” RAY
GOLDFINGER PUBLISHING, 2000


The unmarked letter on my door
Read: ‘Your baby won’t be home no more‘
That’s why my heart is aching so is my head
Makes me feel like I’d be better off dead

 

Someone should have told me that losing you
Would hurt me more than anything I knew
We used to be happy – two souls in one
But the dream that we knew has faded and gone

 

When the moon’s out to play with the stars up in the sky
Hear my lover’s lament in the breeze tonight
In the breeze tonight

 

Every golden promise each vow and each kiss that
Came dripping like honey from your tempting lips
What we held so tightly slipped right out of our hands
Like the rivers run dry on the white burning sands

 

When the moon’s out to play with the stars up in the sky
Hear my lover’s lament in the breeze tonight
In the breeze tonight

 

Every golden promise each vow and each kiss that
Came dripping like honey from your tempting lips
What we held so tightly slipped right out of our hands
Like the rivers run dry on the white burning sands

 

When the moon’s out to play with the stars up in the sky
Hear my lover’s lament in the breeze tonight
In the breeze tonight
