This is a great track off of David Gray’s web exclusive live covers album "A Thousand Behind."  Originally performed by Waylon Jennings I’m a little iffy on some of the lyrics 3/4 Timing Intro: ||||| Verse 1: This world that I live in is empty and cold This loneliness cuts me and tears at my soul I’m no child of destiny No fortune son I’ve chased you so long I’m too weak to run Verse 2: same as V.1 And here I return to a backstreet of thrill Back to any warm shoulder till she’s got her fill And then I treat shame like some old friend from home Who I can lean on till the misery is gone Chorus 1: A new day is here but nothing is new But you’re still gone still I tremble for you     Verse (same as 1 and 2): I cry out at bedtime: “oh please not tonight” Then I hear your footsteps and I turn on the light Of course you’re never there No you never are And I try to forget to that there’s always a bar Chorus 2: Though I win that battle And sometimes I do        D (tempo slows down)                 G (strum once and hold) Still sleep doesn’t come and I tremble for you very nice simple progression found in a lot of country western songs

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque la profonde solitude et la douleur que l’on ressent après une séparation. Le narrateur décrit un monde froid et vide, où l'absence de l'être aimé crée une souffrance intense. Bien qu'il tente de se distraire et de trouver du réconfort dans des relations passagères, la tristesse persiste et le souvenir de l'autre le hante. À travers ses luttes nocturnes pour trouver le sommeil, il exprime un sentiment de fragilité et d'impuissance face à cette perte.
