------Riding Alone------



Music = Desperado


How many tears does a heart need to bleed
Before the pain goes away
Is sorrow a stain that can't be removed
Which never lets happiness stay
Tho' sunshine may come, the rain always falls
With few days of summer it seems
The winter surrounds the life that I live
Its cold wind destroys all my dreams
Is it really just me or could it be fate 
That somehow I just never win
I've failed life I guess or has it failed me
I know that I can't blame a friend
For if you have friends I've heard people say
A failure you never will be
No friends do I have or close confidants
and I'm not sure I'm friends with me.
So let me pass on and no more will I grieve
for a life with joy, not this sorrow 
Perhaps I may find a peace in my heart
and a brighter sunrise tomorrow
