Johnny Forlorn

Lyrics

She sat up late at night writing letters to a ghost.
Tears would stain the words as they would appear.
Night after night as the years would fade
she wondered how that life had now disappeared.
Laying beside her now was a friend, yes indeed.
He would be there as long as she wanted him to be.

What's the point she thought
when sorrow's at your side.
And with one more letter
she turned out her light.

On foriegn soil he fought just to stay alive.
He slept in a ditch to the sounds of gun fire.
He clung to a picture of one he no longer knew
He wondered why it was love that could never be true.
Laying beside him now was a friend, yes indeed.
He would be there as long as he wanted him to be.

What's the point he thought
when sorrow's at your side?
So he laid down his rifle
and stepped into the night.

Yeah, what is the point
is there any point at all?
when sorrow's your friend
there is no hope at all.
Yeah what is the point
when you're beaten and worn
when sorrow's your friend
and they call you forlorn.
When sorrow's your friend
is there any point at all
Yeah when sorrow's your friend
it's easy to fall.
