Long Stretch Of Lonesome Lyrics - Patty Loveless

Never mind the struggle never mind these tears I cry 

Through it all I will stay humble as I keep a watchful eye 

For that sweeter change of fortune that's closer now than it's been 

Where the memories that haunt me are gonna someday be my friend 

When that long stretch of lonesome comes to an end 

On some crazy river but I still have control 

And I will not surrender, I'll stay true to heart and soul 

There's a sea of love awaiting down at the river's end 

There I'll drown my sorrows and there I'll live again 

When that long stretch of lonesome comes to an end 

When that long stretch of lonesome finally comes to an end 

My heart belonging to someone it'll never be longing again 

And the shadows that have dogged me since I can't remember when 

Finally give quarter to the sunlight on my skin 

When that long stretch of lonesome comes to an end 

And the shadows that have dogged me since I can't remember when 

Finally give quarter to the sunlight on my skin 

When that long stretch of lonesome 

When that long stretch of lonesome 

When that long stretch of lonesome comes to an end
