Desperation Gene Watson

[Verse 1]
On this lonely bed, I'm lying deep inside my mind, just crying
Far away to break this hold she has on me
I wish that she would call, but the phone upon the wall
Seems to turn the time into eternity
She keeps walking through my brain, Lord, and I can't stand the strain
That facing life without her brings to mind
Hurting heavy, hanging on, realizing that she's gone
It is only desperation that I find

[Chorus]
Desperation has a hold upon my body and my soul
Loving her was all I had and now I've lost control
Help me make it to tomorrow, Lord, send me down your soothing word
And calm this desperation in my soul

[Verse 2]
Lord, the world is filled with others who were broken-heartеd lovers
And I know they must have facеd a night like this
Empty heart and all alone, hurting clear down to the bone
Breathing life into a sweet remembered kiss
Life is just an endless motion yet I can't dispel the notion
That without her loving, I can't make it through
I'm dreaming daydreams of the past knowing I have seen the last
Of her love and there's nothing I can do
