Last Hope's Gone Lyrics - Resurrection Of Pigboy Crabshaw / In My Own Dream - The Paul Butterfield Blues Band

(Instrumental verse x 2) 

Yeah, I'm gonna tell you a story, that you don't want to hear 

Baby, I'm wanna tell you a story, one that you don't want to hear 

Because it's about you, and you're losin', baby 

And the end is drawing near. 

Well, if you don't understand, there's no reason for me to stay on 

Yes, if you don't understand, baby, there's no reason for me to stay on. 

And I believe in you, woman 

But I can't make a stand, so gather 'round. 

(instrumental verse x 2) 

Yeah, your mind's been leavin', and your body's stayin' here 

Yeah, your mind's been leavin' for a long time, but your body's stayin' here. 

And all this talkin' I've been doin', baby 

There ain't a word that you can hear. 

Yeah, there's no flowers by this river, and there's no grass growin' around 

Yeah, there's no flowers by this river, and there's no grass growin' around 

Yeah, there's no water down by this river 

And there's nobody makin' a sound. 

(instrumental verse out)
