Left For Dead lyrics

[Verse 1]
My lover left me for dead
Got under my skin, then said it's all in my head
My lover left me for dead
My pretty little body keeps the wolves fed

[Chorus]
But I can't force his hand, no, I can't make him stay
Got too much love to give to let it sit here and decay
Now he loiters just beyond my reach
The ship has sunk but still I stay there, washed up on the beach

[Verse 2]
My lover left me out in the cold
He's busy chasin' silver, got no room for gold
My lover left mе out in the cold
Headed straight to hеr place or so I've been told

[Chorus]
But I can't force his hand, no, I can't make him stay
Got too much love to give to let it sit here and decay
Now he loiters just beyond my reach
The ship has sunk but still I stay there, washed up on the beach

[Verse 3]
My lover left me for dead
Got me feeling blue, but all I see is red
My lover left me for dead
Heart full o' love and a belly full o' lead
[Chorus]
But I can't force his hand, no, I can't make him stay
Got too much love to give to let it sit here and decay
Now he loiters just beyond my reach
The ship has sunk but still I stay there, washed up on the beach

[Verse 4]
My lover made a mistake
Run, better run, boy, Goodness' sake
Oh, lover, say it was a mistake
You thought you'd spot a gun in a mountain for snakes
