A Loved Man's Lonely Blues

Time is slowly ticking
Them days they pass on by
News it comes and news gets old
As a lonely man just cries

Time it stops for no-one
It'll end, but you just don't know when
Bills they come and bills get paid
Next month they'll be back again

The sun always comes back again
As sure as night and day
But as sure as the moon pulls on the tide
It'll also fade away

A happy man he throws a ball
With his son out in the park
You know them sad songs are so easy
You can make everything sound dark

My love she didn't leave me
I just like minor chords
I'm as happy as a bee in June
I just love these sad old words

I guess I should be lonesome
If I wanna sing this lonesome song
But when I woke up this morning
Bad luck did not come along

So to hell with it, I'll just sing my song
Without paying my dues
So here it comes, unjustified
A loved man's lonely blues
