Last Hope's Gone - The Paul Butterfield Blues Band

Yeah, I’m gonna tell you a story, that you don’t want to hear

Baby, I’m wanna tell you a story, one that you don’t want to hear

Because it’s about you, and you’re losin', baby

And the end is drawing near

Well, if you don’t understand, there’s no reason for me to stay on

Yes, if you don’t understand, baby, there’s no reason for me to stay on

And I believe in you, woman

But I can’t make a stand, so gather 'round

Yeah, your mind’s been leavin', and your body’s stayin' here

Yeah, your mind’s been leavin' for a long time, but your body’s stayin' here

And all this talkin' I’ve been doin', baby

There ain’t a word that you can hear

Yeah, there’s no flowers by this river, and there’s no grass growin' around

Yeah, there’s no flowers by this river, and there’s no grass growin' around

Yeah, there’s no water down by this river

And there’s nobody makin' a sound
