They say the sun out in the desert
Is hot enough to fry your brain
But the night air is so cold it'll change your mind
And I watch the clear blue sky, turn a bitter grey
On the day that you left me behind
I've heard nothing lasts forever
Time is gonna heal my wound
But from where I stand
I just can't see, how that could be true
So I will lay me down in a heathen ground
When my life is through
And say Amen, cause maybe then
I'll stop loving you
I ride this sad and lonely city, driven by memories
Thinkin' some night that I might find this lost love
And the heartache keeps chippin' steadily away at me
Livin' in hell with the shell of the man I was
I've heard nothing lasts forever
Time is gonna heal my wound
But from where I stand
I just can't see, how that could be true
So I will lay me down in a heathen ground
When my life is through
And say Amen, cause maybe then
I'll stop loving you
