When The Wild Life Betrays Me

Lyrics

Can't believe I'm still here

With the morning so near

And last night so unclear

I see a trembling hand

And a cold wedding band

Wonder where do I stand?

When the wild life betrays me

And I'm too far from home

Will you be there to save me?

Will you shelter my heart til I'm strong?

Or will you just hang up the phone?

Will my crazy old lies

And my worn out disguise

Turn to tears in your eyes

What a fool I have been

There's no way I can win

Unless you take me back in

When the wild life betrays me

And I'm too far from home

Will you be there to save me?

Will you shelter my heart til I'm strong?

Or will you just hang up the phone?
