Song Description

Broken hearted cowboy sits alone in his empty house

Lyrics

Sunlight through the shutters

The Sun is almost up again
and I still ain?t been to bed
Can?t sleep much since I don?t know when,
too many ghosts are in my head

Ghosts that look like you, ghosts that tell me to let go
of what we coulda been, but I can?t do that yet, oh no

Let the sunlight through the shutters
Make a shadow on my wall
Where your picture used to be
Before heartache came to call

The Moon?s so high and full tonight
That it?s holdin back the dawn
I?m so drunk I can?t even stumble right,
But still the loneliness ain?t gone
Loneliness that burns, loneliness that turns a heart
Into an empty shell that slowly cracks and comes apart

From lonely days
come empty nights
And the sadness stays well into the morning light

Let the sunlight through the shutters
Make a shadow on my wall
Where your picture used to be
Before heartache came to call
