Loneliness and Desperation - Chris Thile, Michael Daves

An empty cup of coffee no cigarettes to smoke

A dirty two room walking flat’s a long way my home

This life in New York City

Ain’t what I thought it’d be

Loneliness and desperation is a closing in on me

The loneliness and desperation is a closing in on me

Lately get to thinking about the things I left back home

That healing country sunshine and a woman singing song

Then I turned back to the bottle, I turned back to the pain

And every night I’ll kneel and pray I’ll see her face again

Every night I’ll kneel and pray I’ll see her face again

The sign on the highway says it’s fifteen miles to go

It’s just as well a thousand in this freezing rain and snow

Well that ain’t gonna stop me cause I know just where I’m bound

And if you ever look for me you’ll know where I’ll be found

If you ever look for me you’ll know where I’ll be found
