Ethan Daniel Davidson - Always Losing Lyrics

It was a long walk cross the Sand Hills from Ashby to Omaha
Rolling storm clouds shadowed me the last leg of the way
And though there's a lot of things I might tell you should you catch me in the lightening flash heat of a moment
Right now just 'fare thee well' is all I can think to say
And well it's just like you and me ain't it babe
That bitch the sky threatened me for three days
And never once sent a drop of promised rain
So forever and forever farewell
I won't be coming back your way again

Yeah most times I don't even really know what I'm feeling if I'm feeling anything
But after all we've been through I guess I've learned to fake it fairly well
But in that I figure I'm just like most other folks tossing the counterfeit prayers
Of my alcoholic heart into the collection plate of a dried up well But you of all people know full well that I'm not trying to illicit your sympathy
Or cry about whether or not the world maybe cruel 'cause you of all people know that the truth good or bad is that most of friendship is faking
Most vows of love are made by fools And I played love's motley fool for you for far too long Always losing when I saw myself to win So forever and forever farewell My friend

(HARMONICA BREAK)

I know it's not pretty to admit it but you were the one who taught me the only two possible outcomes are either Love dies or else lovers die
But it took me so long to get it the awful lonely hollow truth that anytime you hear the word 'forever' You know it's gonna be some kind of lie And that's why I can't be there for you this time Margie I can't close my eyes my heart's not dead
But there's nothing I'm able or even willing to give Just know you're not alone most people die without having their deepest dreams realized But love's never been a cause of death, love's never been the reason that anyone's ever ceased to live

So now you find yourself in my old worn-out beggar's shoes Always losing when you see yourself to win
So forever and forever farewell I shall smile if we should ever meet again

(HARMONICA BREAK 2)
