Written in the 70s, not released until 1982, this song holds up. It’s devastatingly sad, and impossibly beautiful.
Good morning, my darling, I'm telling you this
To let you know that I'm sorry you're sick
Though, tears of sorrow won't do you no good
I'd be your doctor if only I could
What do want from the liquor store?
Something sour or something sweet?
I'll buy you all that your belly can hold
You can be sure you won't suffer no more
I'd swim the ocean or the deepest canal
To get to you, darling, just to make you well
There's no place on Earth I wouldn't hasten to go
To cool the fever, this I want you to know
What do want from the liquor store?
Something sour or something sweet?
I'll buy you all that your belly can hold
You can be sure you won't suffer no more

Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
I'll start to spend my money, callin' everybody, honey
And wind up singin' the blues
I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck
Brother I can name you a few
Well, I have gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
I gotta get drunk, I can't stay sober
There's a lot of good people in town
That'd like to hear me holler, see me spend my dollars
And I wouldn't think of lettin' 'em down
There's a lot of doctors that tell me
That I'd better start slowing it down
But there's more old drunks than there are old doctors
So I guess we better have another round
Now I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
I'll start to spend my money, callin' everybody, honey
And wind up singin' the blues
I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck
Brother I can name you a few
Well, I have gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
'Cause I know I just what I'm gonna do

[Verse 1]
Goldenrod and the 4H stone
The things I brought you when I found out
You had cancer of the bone
[Verse 2]
Your father cried on the telephone
And he drove his car into the Navy yard
Just to prove that he was sorry
[Chorus 1]
In the morning, through the window shade
When the light pressed up against your shoulderblade
I could see what you were reading
All the glory that the Lord has made
And the complications you could do without
When I kissed you on the mouth
[Verse 3]
Tuesday night at the Bible study
We lift our hands and pray over your body
But nothing ever happens
[Verse 4]
I remember at Michael's house
In the living room when you kissed my neck
And I almost touched your blouse
In the morning at the top of the stairs
When your father found out what we did that night
And you told me you were scared
All the glory when you ran outside
With your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied
And you told me not to follow you
[Verse 5]
Sunday night when I cleaned the house
I find the card where you wrote it out
With the pictures of your mother
[Verse 6]
On the floor at the great divide
With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied
I am crying in the bathroom
[Chorus 3]
In the morning when you finally go
And the nurse runs in with her head hung low
And the cardinal hits the window
In the morning in the winter shade
On the first of March, on the holiday
I thought I saw you breathing
All the glory that the Lord has made
And the complications when I see His face
In the morning in the window
All the glory when He took our place
But He took my shoulders and He shook my face
And He takes and He takes and He takes

I've got no fire inside of me
Can't be the man I try to be
Oh, Mr. Lonesome hanging round
Don't wanna see nobody
Don't wanna be nobody
Oh, Mr Lonesome got me down
He makes me leave the party
When folks are laughin' hearty
Happiness is one thing he can't stand
Nobody wants or needs me
I go just where he leads me
Oh, Mr. Lonesome got my hand
And so my whole life over
Each day is like the other
But still if my one wish could be
If that old chain that binds me
Breaks when true love finds me
And Mr. Lonesome sets me free
Oh, Mr. Lonesome got me down

Want to wrap this app in love and care so it doesn’t become like Twitter.
this website is full of people recommending (mostly) great things, sharing ideas, and things they love. i logged onto twitter and immediately feel horrible so i switched tabs back to here (and yes i am using desktop!)
