Never mind the struggle, never mind these tears I cry

Through it all I will stay humble as I keep a watchful eye
Am F
For that sweeter change of fortune that's closer now than it's been
Am F
Where the memories that haunt me are gonna someday be my friend

When that long stretch of lonesome comes to an end__

On some crazy river, but I still have control
F C F G
And I will not surrender, I'll stay true to heart and soul
Am F
There's a sea of love awaiting down at the river's end
Am F
There I'll drown my sorrow and there I'll live again

When that long stretch of lonesome comes to an end__

Oh, when that long stretch of lonesome finally comes to an end

My heart belonging to someone, it'll never be longing again
Am F
And the shadows that have dogged me since I can't remember when
Am F
I finally give quarter to the sunlight on my skin

When that long stretch of lonesome comes to an end__

When that long stretch of lonesome

When that long stretch of lonesome
