Last Hope's Gone Lyrics

(Instrumental verse x 2)

Yeah, I'm gonna tell you a story, that you don't want to hear
Baby, I'm wanna tell you a story, one that you don't want to hear
Because it's about you, and you're losin', baby
And the end is drawing near.

Well, if you don't understand, there's no reason for me to stay on
Yes, if you don't understand, baby, there's no reason for me to stay on.
And I believe in you, woman
But I can't make a stand, so gather 'round.

(Instrumental verse x 2)Paul Butterfield - Last Hope's Gone - http://motolyrics.com/paul-butterfield/last-hopes-gone-lyrics.html

Yeah, your mind's been leavin', and your body's stayin' here
Yeah, your mind's been leavin' for a long time,
But your body's stayin' here.
And all this talkin' I've been doin', baby
There ain't a word that you can hear.

Yeah, there's no flowers by this river, and there's no grass growin' around
Yeah, there's no flowers by this river, and there's no grass growin' around
Yeah, there's no water down by this river
And there's nobody makin' a sound.

(Instrumental verse out)
