Hear the train in the distance Such a lonely sound it makes When it's gone there is silence You can hear the sound of my heart break See these arms, now they're empty 'Cause they used to hold on to you I said I'd never let go But somehow you slipped on through Now I know that's how love goes When love goes away I'm gonna cry some Then I'm gonna lay here and die some All because I know there ain't no one else Baby, if i can't live with you Guess I'll have to Live with the lonesome There's a prayer that I'm prayin' There's a dream that I always will dream And the hope keeps me waiting For the day when you come back to me It's a curse and a blessing To find love above all the rest Now I'd rather have nothing Than to settle for less Now I know that's how love goes When love goes away I'm gonna cry some Then I'm gonna lay here and die some All because I know there ain't no one else Baby, if i can't live with you Guess I'll have to Live with the lonesome
