Bleu Edmondson - The Future Ain't What It Used To Be lyrics

She had a smile that would make you put your faith in the Lord She was the unspoken truth I was lookin' for I was a bitter hearted twister, I was a refugee And just a scared little boy lost at sea She said she kissed my lips and she just knew And in her sunset eyes, I saw it too But this world has a way of breakin' you down 'Til the fire that burned now can't be found I guess no one really knows the price that's pain And there ain't no heart that goes scot free I hear the bells ringin' from far away And the future ain't what it used to be When it turned to dust I cannot say I guess she lost her faith when I lost my way Though I loved her more than I dreamed I could A coward now stands where her hero stood I guess no one really knows the price that's pain And there ain't no heart that goes scot free I hear the bells ringin' from far away And the future ain't what it used to be Well, from the outstretched hand that I denied To the anguished tears that sunset, cried From the hurt in the dark, the fear and the doubt She couldn't give anymore, her love ran out
