Last Hope's Gone (1997 Remaster)

(Instrumental verse x 2)

Yeah, I'm gonna tell you a story, that you don't want to hear

Baby, I'm wanna tell you a story, one that you don't want to hear

Because it's about you, and you're losin', baby

And the end is drawing near.

Well, if you don't understand, there's no reason for me to stay on

Yes, if you don't understand, baby, there's no reason for me to stay on.

And I believe in you, woman

But I can't make a stand, so gather 'round.

(instrumental verse x 2)

Yeah, your mind's been leavin', and your body's stayin' here

Yeah, your mind's been leavin' for a long time, but your body's stayin' here.

And all this talkin' I've been doin', baby

There ain't a word that you can hear.

Yeah, there's no flowers by this river, and there's no grass growin' around

Yeah, there's no flowers by this river, and there's no grass growin' around

Yeah, there's no water down by this river

And there's nobody makin' a sound.
