Lyrics Langhorne Slim – Lord

This life goes on since you’ve left me
But Lord, it don’t need to
And I’m just thinking about you, gal
As you forget me

And I’m wondering
How I could have been so taken
Mistakin’ our love for blood
Seems I was fakin’

A man’s heart is his own
And only he can break it
I’d start all over alone
If only I could take it

Now time takes its time to pass on by me
You won’t find me in no places of old
In my mind, gon’ rewind the times of you smiling
Darling, it’s a crime you left me so cold

And I can’t trust myself
With this hell I am accepting
I stumbled and I fell
Still hoping you’d come protect me

I tried to forget you
That was just a reminder
You’ve turned a world full of shit
And made it a little bit kinder

So take my breath, God, take it away
Goodbye take it
‘Cause know lord what was saved
To think that it is you, God
That fools kneel and pray
