Goodnight My Love

I’m drinking myself to an early grave

There’s others around who won’t be saved

You talk about life, well I done my best

I’ve been rode hard and put up wet

 

Goodnight my love, my love goodnight

I won’t be there to hold you tight

Can’t hold a chain to my neglect

Can’t hold a candle to your respect

Goodbye my love, my love goodbye

I won’t be here when you arise

Can’t hold a chain to my neglect

Can’t hold a candle to your respect

No, no

Can’t hold a candle to your respect

Can’t hold a candle to your respect

So why should I stay?

I must go

In the long run

It’s the best thing

 

I write while I smoke this cigarette

A note that I hope you won’t leave wet

You talk about love, well that’s not much

I’m more for the feel of a tender touch
