They say the sun out in the desert
Is hot enough to fry your brain
But the night air is so cold it'll change your mind
And I watch the clear blue sky, turn a bitter grey
On the day that you left me behind
I've heard nothing lasts forever
Time is gonna heal my wound
But from where I stand
I just can't see, how that could be true
So I will lay me down in a heathen ground
When my life is through
And say Amen, cause maybe then
I'll stop loving you
I ride this sad and lonely city, driven by memories
Thinkin' some night that I might find this lost love
And the heartache keeps chippin' steadily away at me
Livin' in hell with the shell of the man I was
I've heard nothing lasts forever
Time is gonna heal my wound
But from where I stand
I just can't see, how that could be true
So I will lay me down in a heathen ground
When my life is through
And say Amen, cause maybe then
I'll stop loving you

I will lay me down in a heathen ground
When my life is through
And say Amen, cause maybe then
I'll stop loving you
And say Amen, cause maybe then
I'll stop loving you
I'll stop loving you
I'll stop loving you
