Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down   Don't let your feet ever touch the ground   Or comfort me in times of doubt   See despair or lies and cares and a falling out      With my friends I used to follow   Nearly everybody's daughter   That's until you came along      In a bar-room patrons singing   But I just sat there drinking   That's until you came along      Your star-crossed eyes and your troubled mind   Seems you were left just for me to find   Sweet lady lay your hands in mine   Upon my face laid to waste by years of wine      With my friends I used to follow   Nearly everybody's daughter   That's until you came along      In a bar-room patrons singing   But I just sat there drinking   That's until you came along      Sweet lady lay your hands in mine   Upon my face laid to waste by years of wine      With my friends I used to follow   Nearly everybody's daughter   That's until you came along      In a bar-room patrons singing   But I just sat there drinking   That's until you came along      With my friends I used to follow   Nearly everybody's daughter   That's until you came along      But the darkness just got darker   This heart of mine got harder   That's until you came along
