Mary Lou Lord - Cold Company lyrics

Beat myself up and talk myself down My dirty past is spread all over town Like a black cloud Or a demon that comes when I call And I'll drink till I don't know my very own name And the block sells the memories that wound up my brain Till the pain goes away And I'm left feeling nothing at all Nobody is leaving the light on for me No use pretending that there oughta be Someone who'll lie in my cold company And take me as I am And there must be a place There must be a time When everything started to slip out of line And the rings on their fingers Meant more then a cheap piece of gold Now I don't bother to look at their hands Nor at the women who once were my friends I can pressure these tears And pretend that I never grow old Nobody is leaving the light on for me No use pretending that there oughta be Someone who'll lie in my cold company And take me as I am So leave me alone Let me go my own way And don't try to save me from moral decay Just pay the next round And I'll drink to a happy old day Nobody is leaving the light on for me No use pretending that there's gonna be Someone who'll lie in my cold company And take me as I am And take me as I am Who's gonna take me as I am?
