It's a lonely world,
everybody tries to hide
It's a lonely world, everybody tries to hide
But you're all alone and all you do is fight!
People live their
lives with the rule to satisfy
People live their lives with the rule to satisfy
But nobody sees you cryin'
Nobody knows how hard you try
So, send me an angel
I need some helping hand
Would you send me an angel
I need some helping hand
Can't take this by myself
Can't get along
'Cause I just can't stand.

I went down to the
river
Sat there all night long
Wondering 'bout my life
Wondering what went wrong
Blues in my bottle
Sorrow in my cup
I've been down for so long
It's getting hard to
get back up
It's hard to find a woman
Even harder to find a friend
When I think love's beginning
It turns out to be the end
Blues in my bottle
Sorrow in my cup
I've been down for so long
It's getting hard to
get back up
I've been drinkin' and drinkin'
To drive my blues away
It leaves me for the night time
But it's right back next day
Blues in my bottle
Sorrow in my cup
I've been down for so long
It's getting hard to
get back up
I'm happy on the outside
Folks think I'm OK
But I'm crying on the inside
See my tears they fall like rain
Blues in my bottle
Sorrow in my cup
I've been down for so long
It's getting hard to get back up.

May it be an evening
star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh, how far you are from home
Mornië utúlië
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië
A promise lives within you now
May it be the
shadow's call
Will fly away
May it be your journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun
Mornië utúlië
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië
A promise lives within you now
A promise lives
within you now
May it be an evening
star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh, how far you are from home
Mornië utúlië
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië
A promise lives within you now
May it be the
shadow's call
Will fly away
May it be your journey on

When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun
