I'm Lovesick For You Tonight

I'm lovesick
I'm lovesick
I'm love sick for you tonight
Your words run through my mind
Like a tornado in the sky
I'm lovesick for you tonight

When you sat me down on that porch to talk
I didn't know you meant to take a walk
For good or bad
I can't say I'm glad
You cut me down

When you said you didn't know how to stay
I couldn't help but fade away
You're words were cold
And I should know
Better by now

I'm lovesick
I'm lovesick
I'm love sick for you tonight
Your words run through my mind
Like a tornado in the sky
I'm lovesick for you tonight

I begged the doctor for a pill or two
He said one day I'll get over you
But I don't believe
Anyway, I'd like to be
Well

I built a fire in my living room
With all the letters I got from you
But they would not burn
For more than an hour
Or two

I'm lovesick
I'm lovesick
I'm love sick for you tonight
Your words run through my mind
Like a tornado in the sky
I'm lovesick for you tonight

My friends told me I was being hard
On myself and taking this too far
But they don't understand
How very sick I am
Still

I tried to find another one, to care
Thought it could take my mind off you not being here
But he didn't walk right
And he talked too much
Just like you

I'm lovesick
I'm lovesick
I'm love sick for you tonight
Your words run through my mind
Like a tornado in the sky
I'm lovesick for you tonight

I made a visit to my congregation
Hoping they could help me with my occupation
But they shook their heads
Told me god is dead
I knew

When your sister took my brothers hand
I thought I had another chance
But just like then
You would not talk
Or feel

I'm lovesick
I'm lovesick
I'm love sick for you tonight
Your words run through my mind
Like a tornado in the sky
I'm lovesick for you tonight

I threw a party with many fancy guests
Then lost my ticket and I couldn't get in
So I stayed outside
Waiting for someone to come
But no one did

My blood is thinning and I'm getting weak
This time tomorrow I won't be able to speak
So don't ask my name
My head will fall
And roll

I'm lovesick
I'm lovesick
I'm love sick for you tonight
Your words run through my mind
Like a tornado in the sky
I'm lovesick for you tonight

I'm lovesick for you tonight
I'm lovesick for you tonight
I'm lovesick for you tonight
I'm lovesick for you tonight
