long stretch of lonesome (album version)

(gary scruggs)
Never mind the struggle
Never mind these tears i cry
Through it all i will stay humble
As i keep a watchful eye
For that sweeter change of fortune
Thats closer now than its been
Where the memories that haunt me
Are gonna someday be my friend
When that long stretch of lonesome comes to an end
On some crazy river
But i still have control
And i will not surrender
Ill stay true to heart and soul
Theres a sea of love awaiting
Down at the rivers end
There ill drown my sorrows
And there ill live again
When that long stretch of lonesome comes to an end
When that long stretch of lonesome finally comes to an end
My heart belonging to someone
Itll never be longing again
And the shadows that have dogged me since i cant remember when
Finally give quarter
To the sunlight on my skin
When that long stretch of lonesome comes to an end
And the shadows that have dogged me since i cant remember when
Finally give quarter to the sunlight on my skin
When that long stretch of lonesome
When that long stretch of lonesome
When that long stretch of lonesome comes to an end
