Lonely Desolation - Chuck Prophet

She was running with a shotgun

I could hear the sirens but I couldn’t move

I couldn’t even catch my breath

She was hiding in the patterns of her mother’s aprons

When I left that girl she was just a little thing

But the summer’s gone and the leaves are turning over

It’s another day gone I’m another year older

Desolation lonesome lonely desolation

I was seeking understanding

They took a fourteen year old boy

Yeah they locked him up tried to turn him into a man

She told me what I need is absolution

I said absolution girl come on now that’s gonna be hard to arrange

But the summer’s gone and the leaves are turning over

It’s another day gone I’m another year older

Desolation lonesome lonely desolation

Instrumental

Well the summer’s gone and the leaves are turning over

It’s another day gone I’m another year older

And the tooth won’t come out and you can’t find the doctor

Desolation lonesome lonely desolation
