Desolation Blues Lyrics & Tabs by Jackie Leven
Desolation Blues
guitar chords lyrics
Where did you take me
when it was nearly dark?
wearing a wreath of perfume
and a beautiful spark
and my tears were flowing
in early morning light
but I held you in my arms
all through the night
And when your heart is dead
you'll get the desolation blues
And when your heart is dead
you'll get the desolation blues
Now I walk alone
in the very far north
have you ever seen the winter
Now I walk alone
in the very far north
have you ever seen the winter
up here in cape wrath
when the pentland firth
in playing deadly games
you can't even tell
what is land or sea or sky
I destroyed my life
in a blizzard of lies
And when your heart is dead
you'll get the desolation blues
And when your heart is dead
you'll get the desolation blues
My best friend has a headstone
by a rainy motorway
the coffin went down
some of us prayed
we threw some dirt down the hole
then we walked away
but if he were alive
he couldn't help me today
And when your heart is dead
you'll get the desolation blues
And when your heart is dead
you'll get the desolation blues
