YOU WENT CRYING
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
FEELING 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
GOING THROUGH
YOU OUGHTA 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
NIGHTS CAN BE
TILL YOU'VE LIVED
THROUGH THE STORY
THAT'S STILL LIVING
IN ME
YOU DON'T KNOW
ABOUT SADNESS
TILL YOU FACE
LIFE ALONE
YOU DON'T KNOW
ABOUT LONELY
TILL IT'S CHISELED
IN STONE
SO I BOUGHT THESE
PRETTY FLOWERS
HOPING YOU
WOULD UNDERSTAND
SOMETIMES A MAN
IS SUCH A FOOL
THESE GOLDEN
WORDS OF WISDOM
FROM THE HEART
OF THAT OLD MAN
SHOWED ME I AIN'T
NOTHING WITHOUT YOU
YOU DON'T KNOW
ABOUT LONELY
OR HOW LONG
NIGHTS CAN BE
TILL YOU'VE LIVED
THROUGH THE STORY
THAT OLD MAN
JUST TOLD ME
AND YOU DON'T KNOW
ABOUT SADNESS
TILL YOU FACE
LIFE ALONE
YOU DON'T KNOW
ABOUT LONELY
TILL IT'S CHISELED
IN STONE
YOU DON'T KNOW
ABOUT LONELY
TILL IT'S CHISELED
IN STONE
