One sad cowboy

Once in a while
When I've nothing to do
I try to imagine life without you

I think of the cost
The price to be paid
I look at my hands and my fingerprints fade

I'd be one sad cowboy
I'd be one sad cowboy

Bitter old men
Who stare out to sea
Do you know who that is? Well that would be me

I'd forget how to breathe
I'd sleep on the floor
Invisible dogs would howl round my door

I'd be one sad cowboy
I'd be one sad cowboy
Without you nothing would work any more
Without you I can't even hold it together

Once in a while
When I've nothing to do
I try to imagine life without you

What would I find?
What would life bring?
Would I open my eyes and not see a thing?

I'd be one sad cowboy
I'd be one sad cowboy
I'd be one sad
I'd be one sad cowboy

Without you.
