Woken up on mornings such as this
Thought exactly the same as I'm thinking now
Every night for a year I've slept alone
Cold, damp room looks worse than me, no, no, noGot a fear of death that creeps on every night
I know I won't die soon, but then again I might
Water down the drain, I'm wasting away
Doctors can't help the ghost of a man that's me, no, no, noWater down the drain goes to the sea
The pattern of my life keeps a-haunting me
Moisture from the ocean fills the sky
Come on down to the ground as the time goes by, no no no, no no noI never found out the reason why
Oh why my parents had to lie
About the place that I was born
Or from my hometown I was torn
At the tender age of four
I was livin' by homemade lawI never knew when it was to be laid
My desires are never displayed
I never knew what it was to be loved
I never knew what it was to be laid
I never knew what it was to win
I never knew what it was to be loved no, no, noGet on up thereI never knew what it was to be loved
I never knew what it was to be laid
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
