Painful Goodbyes Songtext
von Lonesome Wyatt and the Holy Spooks

Soon you'll be going, soon you'll be gone
Soon you'll be sleeping under the pond
My heart is breaking, my heart is broke
You were my final undying hope
Why must they lie? Why must they cheat?
Why must I put them all down to sleep?
There is a river burning with fire
One wooden nickel I add to the pyre
Oh I'm so tired, oh I'm so lost What is the price sir to lift me across?
Why must they lie? Why must they cheat?
Why must I put them all down to sleep?
Time is a vulture pecking my brain
This is a nightmare but I won't complain
Drink down the poison, raise up your eyes
This is the end of painful goodbyes
Why must they lie? Why must they cheat?
Why must I put them all down to sleep?
