lyrics

The poets and prophets turned you away,
And the gamblers and the fools begged you to stay
I ain't seen you since you started to roam,
Melissa when you coming home?

Ive had good, and Ive had bad,
I left some with a smile while others were sad
And maybe someday I wont sail alone, until then ill be running alone

I been left far from where I sleep,
There were bastard bathwater babies crying at my feet
Saying better days would flooding like emotions
when your not on your toes
But then again theyre always coming along

She had the voice of an angel, and I approached from every angle
But still I sleep alone
And the beating of my heart, just proves im not that smart
Thats why I sleep alone
