[Verse 1] Well, I've spent my whole lifetime In a world where the sunshine Found excuses for not hangin' 'round And I've squandered emotions At the slightest of notions On the first easy woman I found But soon all the good times The gay times, the play times Like colors run together and fade Oh Lord if you hear me Touch me and hold me And keep me from blowing away [Instrumental break] [Verse 2] There's times when I tremble When my mind remembers The days that just crumbled away With nothing to show But these lines that I know Are beginning to show in my face Oh Lord, if you're listenin' I know I'm no Christian And I ain't got much comin' to me So send down some sunshine And throw out your lifeline And keep me from blowing away [Tag] Yeah send down some sunshine And throw out your lifeline And keep me from blowing away
