I can't help it if I have a widower's heart.
G D C
I try to get out of bed but I can't seem to start.
D G C
When I hit the road, it was freezing and dark.
G Em C G
I hope that it's warmer wherever you are.
G D G
I turned to say I'm sorry and I tried to explain.
G D C
But the room, it was empty, and bitter, and drained.
D G C
No songs from the angels, no blood in my veins,
G Em C G
Could ever replace you and here I remain.
C G C
Oh rain,
G Em C G
Come wash me and keep me and take me away.

New York was a rough place that treated me well.
G D C
You bragged of religion and put me through hell.
D G C
Maybe I'm better off, maybe it's hard to tell.
G Em C G

Just one moment of peace, that would suit me so fine.

But it's echoes and glimpses of beautiful times.

And I'm sure it's much harder on your end then mine,
G Em C G
If you ever pass through here, I'm not hard to find.
