God Will Cut You Down - Robin Loxley

That face I saw and thought of love Is gone. And if you thought you'd end on top You're wrong You'll realize when I'm standing over you Time will cut you down Time will steer your path from your precious dreams And I won't be around No souvenirs or guilty tears Or anything My trust is lost and it will cost You everything There's a lot of lies but I'll tell you one thing that's true Make no mistake, the hearts you break Grow strong I know this shame will bring you pain So long I know this memory will haunt you 'till the end

If she's gone away Like a warm summer's day I just don't wanna know The women they will run And the dark days wil come Like mama did tell me so But it's not the right day To change my way It's been a hard life Can be hard on myself Just need a good night To forget about you with someone else It's such a hard time But I don't need no ones help It's such a hard night in hell Yet the day will dawn And the time's gonna come We all need a little hope And the memory it'll drive And leave a thorn in your side And let you know it's time to go But it's far too late To clear my name It's been a hard life Can be hard on myself Just need a good night To forget about you with someone else It's such a hard time But I don't need no ones help It's such a hard night in hell It's been a hard life Can be hard on myself Just need a good night To forget about you with someone else It's such a hard time But I don't need no ones help It's such a hard night in hell Hard night in hell It's such a hard night in hell
