[Verse 1]
My name it means nothing
My fortune is less
My future is shrouded in dark wilderness
Sunshine is far away, clouds linger on

Nothing can please me, only thoughts are of you
You just laughed when I begged you to stay

[Verse 3]

Guess I will go home, sit down and moan
Crying and thinking is all that I do
Memories I have remind me of you
