Lyrics Lonely Desolation - Chuck Prophet

Lonely Desolation

She was running with a shotgun
I could hear the sirens but I couldn’t move
I couldn’t even catch my breath
She was hiding in the patterns of her mother’s aprons
When I left that girl she was just a little thing
But the summer’s gone and the leaves are turning over
It’s another day gone I’m another year older
Desolation lonesome lonely desolation
I was seeking understanding
They took a fourteen year old boy
Yeah they locked him up tried to turn him into a man
She told me what I need is absolution
I said absolution girl come on now that’s gonna be hard to arrange
But the summer’s gone and the leaves are turning over
It’s another day gone I’m another year older
Desolation lonesome lonely desolation
Instrumental
Well the summer’s gone and the leaves are turning over
It’s another day gone I’m another year older
And the tooth won’t come out and you can’t find the doctor
Desolation lonesome lonely desolation
