Audience For My Pain - Levon Helm

Well it would take a miracle

Just to ease my troubled mind

And I know you’re tryin' to help me

You try so hard to be so kind

But if we spend the night together

Well I know you can’t remain

And darling you’re too good to be

Just an audience for my pain

Once I loved a woman

She just took my heart away

And I tried so hard to break away

Break loose from her control

Oh, 'cause she still has a hold on me

By some big miserable chain

Oh my darling you’re too good to be

Just an audience for my pain

Oh, my pain

Well if I let you stay here

It would be a big mistake

You’ve got to love a man

Who really got more than he takes

I’m living in a prison

No you cannot see the bars

And I’ve been wounded

But you can’t see my scars

I’m so afraid you have to leave me now

And the reason it’s so plain

Oh darling you’re too good to be

Just an audience for my pain

An audience for my pain

Too good to be, too good to my pain

Just an audience for my pain

Too good to be, too good to be

Too good to be, for my pain

Too good to be, too good to be

Too good to be, for my pain
