Lyrics

There was a time when I was alone
worries and tears fell on a pillow of stone
dark days grew longer, the sun never shone
when I called my baby, my baby was gone

Tempted and tried, Lord, passed through the fire
restless and wild, Lord, broken and tired
sorrow like rainclouds to the dry thirsty ground
once I was lost, Lord, now I am found

Some turn to women, some turn to wine
some search the heavens and look for a sign
I've done all this and more, and darling that's fine
just wake me tomorrow, and we'll be alright

Someone once told me, "Son, this life's cruel
the one who you love will walk all over you"
so I fell in love and found out that it's true
tempted and tied, Lord, blacker than blue
