On Deaf Ears (OurVinyl Sessions)

I have lived a life of sorrow

Struggled through many days of pain

Ain't felt her warmth on a winter mornin'

Since she left me a drownin' in my shame

I'm a lyin' man of my word

Drunken love is sober sin

This life of lies sent her a walkin'

Into the arms of another man

On deaf ears, my prayers have fallen

And there's no one to hear me cry

A broken soul, a dead man walkin'

But, ain't no room for me in the sky

♪

I sit and stare at an empty closet

Where all her robes, they used to hang

A hollow hole and doors left open

Seems it and me are one and the same

I stand over my empty vessel

Black liquor bag tied over his eyes

Prescription sleep in his left hand

Shell of relief landed to his right

On deaf ears, my prayers have fallen

And there's no one to hear me cry

In my last hour, I've finally broken

But, ain't no room for me in the sky

Ain't no room for me in the sky
