Southern Melancholy

Consider me tamed
A life of disappointment and
Heartache sustains a southern
Melancholy like blood on the brain,
A shadow on my soul that's so hard to lose,
So hard to lose

And when old eyes bruise,
Oh baby, it's you who
Stays fast as I am listing
My heart it sings true,
But melodies go missing
And sadness seeps through,
A hand upon my shoulder that's so hard to move,
So hard to move

And when old wounds tear,
Oh baby what's there?
Where angels collide, in danger I dwell
Stay by my side, don't leave me in peril
Who'll be my guide when the sunlight fails?
Oh mercy, I'm tired, drunk on despair
Hope has expired, beyond repair
Who'll save the night when the
Sunlight fails and darkness prevails?
