about

Winter. II

lyrics

Well the moon up there in the cumulus clouds
Speaks of sorrow on these ramblin' days
I was born without a pa' got no kin to speak of
My ma' disowned me
Had to fight my life through
Here lovers beat me since-less each and every day
That's why I'm here to say

I'll be forgotten
One day I'll be beggan' on the street
I'll be forgotten
Breakin' every heart I can find
I'll be forgotten
Like a rock 'neath the dead calm sea
I'll be forgotten
One day they'll forget about me

The first time I tasted vast ecstasy
I rode obsidian waves on a crystal ship
The howlin' in my head made the pain go away
And all hidden paths to my checkered past

I'll be forgotten
One day I'll be beggan' on the street
I'll be forgotten
Breakin' every heart I can find
I'll be forgotten
Like a rock 'neath the dead calm sea
I'll be forgotten
One day they'll forget about me

Once had a beautiful girl
Sunlight walked beside 'er
Pissed away her heavenly love
The last time I took the needle
Didn't help to hide or mask the pain
The dirty streets, they fill with rain
Where I rest with a Pancho tenant friend
El Paso's the final place I'll run down the drain

I'll be forgotten
One day I'll be beggan' on the street
I'll be forgotten
Breakin' every heart I can find
I'll be forgotten
Like a rock 'neath the dead calm sea
I'll be forgotten
One day they'll forget about me
