You've Been Lonesome, Too

If your heart has known such pain Until for death it's cried Only to have the Lord refuse Then you've been near my side If in your heart somehow you know You'll fail whatever you do Then you have walked a road of pain Yes, you've been lonesome too If you have had each joy of life Destroyed and cast away Then watch a heart that once knew love Grow sadder day by day If your soul is wilted like a rose That's never felt the dew You're traveling on the street of grief Yes, you've been lonesome too If for your wasted, wicked life Your soul cries out in shame And you could live it all again It'd never be the same If you've cried "God, please bless the one To whom I was untrue" You've lived a life of regret Yes, you've been lonesome too If when the storms light up the skies It seems you can't go on Then from a vision your darling comes You speak, but she is gone If then the tears flood down your cheeks There's no one else for you Then you can't ever hide from fate Yes, you've been lonesome too
