Hear the train in the distance   Such a lonely sound it makes   When it's gone there is silence   You can hear the sound of my heart break      See these arms, now they're empty   'Cause they used to hold on to you   I said I'd never let go   But somehow you slipped on through      Now I know that's how love goes   When love goes away      I'm gonna cry some   Then I'm gonna lay here and die some   All because I know there ain't no one else   Baby, if I can't live with you   Guess I'll have to live with the lonesome      There's a prayer that I'm prayin'   There's a dream that I always will dream   And the hope keeps me waiting   For the day when you come back to me      It's a curse and a blessing   To find love above all the rest   Now I'd rather have nothing   Than to settle for less      Now I know that's how love goes   When love goes away      I'm gonna cry some   Then I'm gonna lay here and die some   All because I know there ain't no one else   Baby, if I can't live with you   Guess I'll have to live with the lonesome      Now I know that's how love goes   When love goes away      I'm gonna cry some   And I'm gonna lay here and die some   All because I know there ain't no one else   Baby, if I can't live with you   Guess I'll have to live with the lonesome      Live with the lonesome
