Chuck Prophet - Lonely Desolation lyrics

She was running With a shotgun I could hear the sirens But I couldn't move I couldn't even catch my breath She was hiding In the patterns Of her mother's apron When I left that girl She was just a little thing But the summer's gone And the leaves are turning over It's another day gone I'm another year older Desolation Lonesome lonely desolation l was seeking understanding They took a 14-year-old boy Yeah, they locked him up They tried to turn him into a man She told me what l need is absolution l said, "Absolution, girl? Come on now That's gonna he hard to arrange” But the summer's gone And the leaves are turning over It's another day gone I'm another year older Desolation Lonesome lonely desolation Well, the summer's gone And the leaves are turning over It's another day gone I'm another year older And the tooth won't come out And you can't find a doctor Desolation Lonesome lonely desolation
