The ashes that fall one more time Mourn the past and all that once shined The stones that gather left forever damned The absence of what was and what one can't understand The undertow that drags as you lose another day The voice that brought you peace

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45 Swimming through the ashes of another life No real reason to accept the way things have changed Staring down the barrel of a 45 What ever happened to the young man's heart? Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell

Get rhythm when you get the blues Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues Get a rock 'n' roll feelin' in your bones Get taps on your toes and just get gone Little shoeshine boy never gets low down But he's got the dirtiest job in town Bendin' low at the

Come rain or come shine I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you I guess when you met me It was just one of those things But don't ever bet me 'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me Happy together, unhappy

Shine down, don't take it away from me, no And I know you know how, yeah It's taken forever to get me off the ground Oh, shine down But I still believe in immortal love Shine down, just give me a chance to feel it So tired sleeping through the day
