i got a letter on a cold and lonesome morning
says you ain't half the man you were
when i called you my friend
i swore by you like an oath
you burn the sails to your own boat
and said bon voyage, adios

we all break a promise or two
only got so many years to live for that excuse
it’s a long hard road and a lonely moon
it's giving up and it’s no use

sorrows deeper than the ocean
it fills the rivers and the seas
joy's as empty as a bottle
at least when she’s been through with me
and i'm calling from the well
a broken man with time to kill
can you hear me?
can you hear me?

i caught that train, always been a hard luck man
i tend to walk away from things i don't understand
it’s always one step closer til the end
i’m always broken and never bent
And i lament

lose it all at the end of the race
everything you love soon will return to the plain
i dreamt of your hand clasped in mine
walking through the ashes of all time
i said i love you
then you died

sorrows deeper than the ocean
it fills the rivers and the seas
joy's as empty as a bottle
at least when she’s been through with me
and i’m calling from the well
a broken man with time to kill
can you hear me?
can you hear me?

i got a letter on a cold lonesome morning
said you ain't half the man you were
when i called you my friend
i swore by you like an oath
you burn the sails to your own boat
and said bon voyage, adios
