B. B. King - Troubles Don't Last lyrics

[by David Coverdale (Whitesnake)]

[Bonus track]

A black cat moans

When he's burning with the fever

A stray dog howls

When he's lonely in the night

A woman goes crazy

With the thought of retribution

But a man starts weeping

Whe he's sick and tired of life

I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow

Feel I'm wasting my time

Lighting candles in the wind

Always taking my chances

On the promise of the future

But a heart full of sorrow

Paints a lonely tapestry

The sun is shining

But it's raining in my heart

No one understands the heartache

No one feels the pain

'Cos no one ever sees the tears

When you're crying in the rain

I can never deny

All the sweet things I have tasted

Tho' I've been mistreated

I keep coming back for more

I know where I'm going

There's no hope of absolution

I can't seem to separate

The good times from the bad
