Lonely Dirges - Paul Michel

I’m getting weaker now

The fire’s dying down

But still i’m wondering

How this turns out

I’m getting sober

And i could still make it home

I swear it’s not that bad

As time can attest

I resolve to be a man about town

Singing all the lonely dirges of my youth

Forgive me, girl

I’ve been immodest and a fool

Don’t say i’m not that bad

I can tell it’s a lie

I’m saying this now

And i’ll regret this conversation’s every word

These things sometimes have to be said

I resolve to be a man about town

Singing all the lonely dirges of my youth

And i resolve to never fear and never doubt

I’ll never run again

As long as i have ground

Back and forth

In and out

Say it with me now

Can only wait so long

Back and forth

In and out

Sing it with me now

Can only wait so long

I resolve to be a man about town

Singing all the lonely dirges of my youth…
