Patty Loveless - Long Stretch of Lonesome lyrics

(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

That's closer now than it's 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

I'll stay true to heart and soul

There's a sea of love awaiting

Down at the river's end

There I'll drown my sorrows

And there I'll 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

It'll never be longing again

And the shadows that have dogged me since I can't 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 can't 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
