lyrics

There ain't no color in the sky
Anymore
And I don't feel much like singing
Can't see what for
And there ain't no comfort in this life
Anymore
All that I can see that's ahead of me
Looks like such a chore
Maybe something will happen
To make it all better, better
Maybe something will come along
And make me happy, happy

There ain't no fun in living
Anymore
And I don't feel much like living
Can't see what for
There ain't no life left in me, I feel a bit funny
Like a ghost with nowhere to go
My hope is gone and left me
A desperate man

There’s no spunk left in me
I feel so hollow in me
So empty, so empty, so empty, so empty
A big chunk of what I was is gone
And left me a desperate man
