Levon Helm - Audience for My Pain lyrics

Well it would take a miracle Just to ease my troubled mind And I know you’re tryin’ to help me You try so hard to be so kind But if we spend the night together Well I know you can’t remain And darling you’re too good to be Just an audience for my pain Once I loved a woman She just took my heart away And I tried so hard to break away Break loose from her control Oh, ’cause she still has a hold on me By some big miserable chain Oh my darling you’re too good to be Just an audience for my pain Oh, my pain Well if I let you stay here It would be a big mistake You’ve got to love a man Who really got more than he takes I’m living in a prison No you cannot see the bars And I’ve been wounded But you can’t see my scars I’m so afraid you have to leave me now And the reason it’s so plain Oh darling you’re too good to be Just an audience for my pain An audience for my pain Too good to be, too good to my pain Just an audience for my pain Too good to be, too good to be Too good to be, for my pain Too good to be, too good to be Too good to be, for my pain
