well the suns done gone don't hand me no light

the moon and the man will be rollin' all night

scorpios up a-leading ol' dan to pasture

         Bb               F
and the hours behind are all ways to few

the feeling you will never see another like her

and the kid who made the man who'd leave you

Bb                   F                  Cm            Eb
with the sink of the ship, I'm going to dip into that hue

till I color me like i colored you

    Cm                        Eb  
the color of a lonely heart, and the color of a lonely heart is

Stars go off like flash pot dots that spark under candle power and stop.

Bb                             F                        Cm
lift up your light 'cuz you'll never see a night that's blacker

        Bb                    F
and the weight of it all gets heavier still

Cm                         Eb
time as it crawls a little slower until

Bb            F                   Cm
scorpios up a leading ol' Dan to cancer

Bb                F              Cm                Eb
Damn the lonesome waaays and the young and foolish days
