lyrics

There was a time when I was alone
worries and tears fell on a pillow of stone
dark days grew longer, the sun never shone
when I called my baby, my baby was gone

Tempted and tried, Lord
passed through the fire
restless and wild, Lord
broken and tired
sorrow like rainclouds
to the dry thirsty ground
once I was lost, Lord
now I am found

Some turn to women, some turn to wine
some search the heavens and look for a sign
I've done all this and more and baby that's fine
just wake me tomorrow and we'll be alright

Tempted and tried, Lord
passed through the fire
restless and wild, Lord
broken and tired
sorrow like rainclouds
to the dry thirsty ground
once I was lost, Lord
now I am found

Someone once told me, "Son this life's cruel
the one who you love will walk all over you"
So I fell in love and found out thatit's true
tempted and tried, Lord, blacker than blue

Tempted and tried, Lord
passed through the fire
restless and wild, Lord
broken and tired
sorrow like rainclouds
to the dry thirsty ground
once I was lost, Lord
now I am found

Proof of Ghosts Toronto, Ontario

I'm riding away, picking up steam, moving along at my own special speed. There in the grass by the tall shady tree, watching life pass in the warm summer breeze. Maybe today the sun will shine down on me and my blues will fly away. So babe take my hand and ramble with me, I aint got no plans and I do as I please. Summer aint long but the summer is sweet and life may be ours for the moment at least ... more
