[English]

I've got the weight of a lifetime

Hangin' here over me

Caught up in love and money

Sure aint the way it's supposed to be

Gotta find me a way to set my soul free

Can't take another day, of this misery

Another love gone wrong

a heart broken in two

The belief for mercy

a simple search for the truth

A mans wondering eye can make a woman lay down

Only to lay the blame on the final round

Lay me down, in the cold cold ground

Keep me warm, let me hear the sound

Free a mans mind and his conscience too

Way down here in the arms of the blues

Way down here in the arms of the blues

I hoped and prayed all my lifetime

A love for you and me

But it all broke down Too late for me to see

I can't find my way back

Where I lost my way

And it's killing me every night and everyday

Lay me down, in the cold cold ground

Keep me warm, let me hear the sound

Free a mans mind and his conscience too

Way down here in the arms of the blues

Way down here in the arms of the blues
