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.

[Chorus]

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.

[Chorus]

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.
