Oh simple thing where have you gone I'm getting old and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute why don't we go Talk about it somewhere only we know? This could be the end of everything So why don't we go Somewhere only we know?
Battered and torn still I can see the light tattered and worn but I must kneel to fight Friend of mine what can't you spare I know some times it gets cold in there When my legs no longer carry and the warm wind chills my bones I reach for Mother Mary and I shall not walk alone Hope is alive while we're apart only tears speak from my heart break the chains that hold us down and we shall be forever bound
When I'm tired and weary
and a long way from home
I reach for Mother Mary
and I shall not walk alone
I shall not walk alone
Beauty that
we left behind
how shall we
tomorrow find
Set aside
our weight in sin
so that we
can live again
When my legs no longer carry
and the warm wind chills my bones
I reach for Mother Mary
and I shall not walk alone
Paint splatted tear drops on my shirt Told you I'd let them go And that I'll find my corner Maybe tonight I'll call you After my blood turns into alcohol

whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the
difference in my life.”
