No Help At All Lyrics - Long Player Late Bloomer - Ron Sexsmith

I've been burning 

The candle at both ends 

And running myself more ragged 

Than a Raggedy Ann 

I couldn't read the writing 

On the wall 

Until I hit that wall 

And that was no help at all 

I've been learning 

All my lessons the hard way 

And nursing the exit wound 

From a near fatal mistake 

You could say it was time 

For a wake up call 

I never did get that call 

There was no help at all 

Won't somebody tell me 

What these eyes are for 

I can't see a light any more 

I can't see a light any more 

It gets lonesome in that valley 

Well, you're on your own 

You've got to go it alone 

You've got to go it alone 

I've been burning 

All my bridges and contacts 

And running the risk of losing 

All you can never get back 

If I'm shooting myself in the foot 

I'll crawl 

I'm willing to take that fall 

I'll do it with no help at all 

I never did get that call 

Man, there was no help at all 

There was no help at all 

There was no help at all 

No help at all 

There was no, no help at all 

I've been burning 

The candle at both ends 

No help at all 

There was no one around 

No help at all
