Lyrics: Patty Loveless. Long Stretch Of Lonesome.

Never mind the struggle never mind these tears I cry
Through it all I will stay humble as I keep a watchful eye
For that sweeter change of fortune that's closer now than it's been
Where the memories that haunt me are gonna someday be my friend

When that long stretch of lonesome comes to an end

On some crazy river but I still have control
And I will not surrender, I'll stay true to heart and soul
There's a sea of love awaiting down at the river's end
There I'll drown my sorrows and there I'll live again

When that long stretch of lonesome comes to an end
When that long stretch of lonesome finally comes to an end

My heart belonging to someone it'll never be longing again
And the shadows that have dogged me since I can't remember when
Finally give quarter to the sunlight on my skin

When that long stretch of lonesome comes to an end

And the shadows that have dogged me since I can't remember when
Finally give quarter to the sunlight on my skin

When that long stretch of lonesome
When that long stretch of lonesome
When that long stretch of lonesome comes to an end
