[Verse 1]
Think I’m coming down with something
I’ve begun to feel a chill
Woman, I said that I would get to know ya
And I will

[Verse 2]
The rain is blowing at your window
And you’ve come so many miles
But, hold still, don’t try to fight the shadows
In your mind

[Chorus]
It’s a long, long, long lonely life
Sometimes you gotta hold your head up high
If you want to break the chains from your past life
My dear, don’t you worry no more

[Verse 3]
Let me find an empty meadow
Where the snow falls on the grass
Nothing real can ever fade from memory
But nothing lasts

[Chorus]
It’s a long, long, long lonely life
Sometimes you gotta hold your head up high
If you want to break the chains from your past life
My dear, don’t you worry no more

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
It’s a long, long, long lonely life
Sometimes you gotta hold your head up high
If you want to break the chains from your past life
My dear, don’t you worry no more
