A Passing Tale Lyrics - Bobby Long

My day is death 

My night is dark 

My love won't answer the call 

With the rain like steel upon my face 

My heart is certain to fall 

Now I'm tired of sins corrupting me 

And the fever turning me in 

I don't know where I am headed to 

But at least I know where I've been 

'Cause my mouth is dry and I cannot speak 

I've lost all faith in you 

I admit I've lost a few 

It's like my words against the wind 

So I'm heading down to that long lost space 

Where the light won't bounce off the floor 

As the world turns to stare at me 

My footsteps head straight to the door 

So I'm alone again in this lonely place 

With no shadow at my side 

And my head is littered with your lust 

And it's cold and it's rancid outside 

I can't take this love and it's pulling me in, 

I'm tied to the floor and cut at the seams, 

I'm crazy in love and crazy to die, 

I'm lost to this world and I don't know why 

And I've been down for twelve half-days 

And I've kinda hit the floor 

I'm reaching for something more 

It's like my word against the wind
