Cowboy Junkies - I Cannot Sit Sadly By Your Side Lyrics

You throw away the gun
Did I tell you what's to be done
I need it to kill just one
And you said, "I cannot sit sadly by your side"
And you said, "I cannot sit sadly by your side"

I try to push open the door
Just to see what came before
But there is a body on the floor
And you said, "I cannot sit sadly by your side"
And you said, "I cannot sit sadly by your side"

You brought back that guitar
I told you I wanted it no more
It only plays the songs that no one is asking for
I cannot sit sadly by your side
I cannot sit sadly by your side

I bust in to the room not knowing really what to do
So I reach down and tear out page two hundred and fifty two
It reads, " I can not sit sadly by your side"
It reads. "I can not sit sadly by your side"
