This song comes from my 2016 album, "A Fool at Large."
I've been lonely here in my bed
Icicles forming all around my head
It's so cold, I don't know what to do
Since you said we're through
Just can't move a muscle, can't sit up straight
Paralyzed from head to toe, that's my fate
I'll be here for a while and I know that's true
Since you said we're through
I don't know what's happening in the world anymore
The papers just pile up at my door
Leave 'em there, I don't care what's new
Since you said we're through
The milkman, the iceman, the potato chip man
They've all done everything they can
But you can't help a man that you can't get to
Since you said we're through
A priest came by
To try to save me with a benediction
My landlord also had a try
With a notice of eviction
Everyone it seems has been in my yard
The army and the navy and the national guard
But you can't cure a broken heart with a coup
Since you said we're through
The tv stations came
With cameras and crews
But I can't move my mouth to speak
So I'm not giving interviews
And I'm gonna be here in my bed
Lying motionless until I'm dead
A monument, baby, to me and you
Since you said we're through
