My lover

Left me for dead

Got under my skinThen said it′s all in my head

My lover

Left me for dead

My pretty little body

Keeps the wolves fed

But I can't force this, I

No, I can′t make him stay

Got too much love to give

To let it sit here and decay

Our love is just beyond our reach

The ship has sunk

But still I stay there

To wash upon the beach

My lover

Left me out in the cold

He's busy chasing silver

Got no room for gold

My lover

Left me out in the cold

Bittersweet to her place

Or so I'vе been told

But I can′t force this, I

No, I can′t make him stay

Got too much love to givе

To let it sit here and decay

Our love is just beyond our reach

The ship has sunk

But still I stay there

To wash upon the beach

My lover

Left me for dead

Got me feeling blue

But all I see is red

My lover

Left me for dead

Heart full of love

And a belly full of lead

But I can't force this, I

No, I can′t make him stay

Got too much love to give

To let it sit here and decay

Our love is just beyond our reach

The ship has sunk

But still I stay there

To wash upon the beach

My lover

Made a mistake

Run, better run, boy

Goodness' sake

Oh, lover

Says it was a mistake

He said he spot a gun

And the mud for the snakes
