Rayland Baxter - Tell Me Lover lyrics

On a long cold lonely winter's night In a lonely town where only one survives There's a lonely road that's leadin' to the heart Of the broken home of a lonely man This house is old and fragile like the bones Of an old man without love growin' old alone He holds her picture in his hand Tell me lover is this how it ends Tell me lover is this how it ends In a quiet town west of Philadelph' On a quiet road she waits for one else Dear Henry never came that way again It was the bullet from the gun of a greedy man But day break you can find her on the line Makin' sure that the 303 is right on time She holds his ticket in her hand Tell me lover is this how it ends Tell me lover is this how it ends On this mountain side is where I lay my head On the otherside, he cries, that lonely man And my bones ache and my eyes are bloody red As I listen to the cry of the weary wind Sayin' maybe you'll come back again Tell me lover Tell me lover is this how it ends Tell me lover is this how it ends
