lyrics

Desperation A.M

Woke up this morning: Desperation AM
Wondering how this day will end
If a shattered heart could ever mend
As the clock on the wall reads: Desperation AM.

A broken coffee, a sour day
I wonder why she went away
Knowing there were no words to say
As the clock on the wall reads: Desperation A.M.

I sit at work; a silent scream
My life it seems is a bloodied dream
With hurt and pain its constant theme
As the clock on the wall reads: Desperation A.M.

(Instrumental)

Chorus
The girl had green eyes, she made the world new
She taught me more of truth, than I ever knew
The girl had green eyes, what more can I say?
I fell from grace with God, when she walked away.

After work - drinks with the guys
They tell their jokes, I tell my lies
When you grieve inside time never flies
As the clock on the wall reads: Desperation P.M.

I go to bed, she’s still not there
I lie alone as streetlights glare
I always knew love, will lead to despair
As the clock on the wall reads: Desperation A.M.
As the clock on the wall reads: Desperation A.M.
As the clock on the wall reads: Desperation A.M.
