Can't Go On Like This

Don’t know if I can ever trust again

Hope you never have to find out my friend

Regardless of the love and care I send

Could this all really be the end?

It can’t keep going on this way

Getting to be fewer reasons on this earth to stay

Though the skies look stormy and gray

Maybe we’ll live to see another day,

Whoever thought it would turn out like this

If I could just get one last kiss

Better than falling into the abyss

But the evil powers will insist,

Been a long time since I travelled

Been struck down in court by the sound of a gavel

Too many people about to unravel

Got to get back in the saddle!

Won’t you reach out to me oh Queen of darkness?

I’m feeling this helplessness

Will I make it, well you might take a guess

I’d spare gold just for some tenderness,

It can’t go on like this

All the sheep grazing in such bliss

I used to think the possibilities were countless

Now looking into the faces of emptiness,

Rain-the semen of the Gods just flooded my room

Empty fulfillment for my tomb

Sweeping the heavens with my celestial broom

God take away this sense of doom.
