YOU RAN CRYIN'
TO THE BEDROOM
I RAN OFF TO THE BAR
ANOTHER PIECE OF HEAVEN
GONE TO HELL
THE WORDS WE SPOKE IN ANGER
JUST TORE MY WORLD APART
AND I SAT THERE FEELIN' SORRY
FOR MYSELF
THEN AN OLD MAN
SAT DOWN BESIDE ME
AND LOOKED ME IN THE EYE
HE SAID, SON
I KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE GOIN' THROUGH
YOU OUGHT TO GET DOWN
ON YOUR KNEES
AND THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS
THAT YOU GOT SOMEONE
TO GO HOME TO
YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT LONELY
OR HOW LONG
THE NIGHTS CAN BE
'TIL YOU'VE LIVED
THROUGH THE STORY
THAT'S STILL LIVIN' IN ME
YOU DON'T KNOW
ABOUT SADNESS
'TIL YOU'VE FACED LIFE ALONE
YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT LONELY
'TIL IT'S CHISELLED IN STONE
SO, I BROUGHT THESE
PRETTY FLOWERS
HOPIN' YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND
SOMETIMES A MAN
IS SUCH A FOOL
THOSE GOLDEN WORDS
OF WISDOM
FROM THE HEART
OF THAT OLD MAN
SHOWED ME I AIN'T NOTHIN'
WITHOUT YOU
YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT LONELY
OR HOW LONG NIGHTS CAN BE
'TIL YOU'VE LIVED
THROUGH THE STORY
THAT OLD MAN JUST TOLD ME
AND YOU DON'T KNOW
ABOUT SADNESS
'TIL YOU'VE FACED LIFE ALONE
YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT LONELY
'TIL IT'S CHISELLED IN STONE
YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT LONELY
'TIL IT'S CHISELLED IN STONE
