[00:24.63]Empty are the hours
[00:27.32]And empty are the days
[00:30.27]I've locked up all the doors
[00:33.06]Take me on my way
[00:35.95]Down a broken road of questions
[00:39.06]That lead me to a lie
[00:41.81]To a cold night in December
[00:44.57]When we both sat down to cry
[00:51.89]Now will you carve my name upon a stone?
[00:55.26]Will you lay me down to rest?
[00:57.95]Do you think I'll see my father's father
[01:00.93]Do you think I'll pass his test?
[01:03.74]Will you whisper Lord please keep me
[01:06.20]Always walk right by my side?
[01:09.58]Will you place the coins upon my eyes
[01:12.25]To pay the boatman for the ride?
[01:16.50]Well, I was standing in the drizzling rain
[01:22.04]Just long enough to wash away my pain
[01:27.89]And realize that she's never coming home
[01:34.92]She said I won't come back
[01:38.06]I said don't come back, I'm better off alone
[01:47.85]She called me from a pay phone
[01:50.86]South of San Antone
[01:53.33]And I could hear somebody talking
[01:56.36]But she swore she was alone
[01:59.14]You know it sounded so familiar
[02:01.92]I pray to God that I am wrong
[02:05.45]I always thought she'd leave me
[02:07.70]I never dreamed he'd go along
[02:11.91]And I was standing in the drizzling rain
[02:17.52]Just long enough to wash away my pain
[02:23.43]And realize that she's never coming home
[02:30.63]She said I won't come back
[02:33.69]I said don't come back, I'm better off alone
[02:39.28]🎵
[02:48.68]And I was standing in the drizzling rain
[02:54.18]Just long enough to wash away my pain
[03:00.26]And realize that she's never coming home
[03:07.10]She said I won't come back
[03:10.34]I said don't come back, I'm better off alone
[03:18.85]I'm better off alone
