lyrics

She took everything but the kitchen sink
Half a mickey of vodka she forgot to drink
And an old box of photographs
She left by the stairs

And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Now that she don't love me, neither do you
And it's one helluva mess we got goin' on here

I'm on my own
For the first time in so long
And it's taken its toll I do find
She's haunted my dreams
And ever since she's gone
It's bringing back the doubt in my mind

Well, the car won't start
The phone won't ring
Dogs don't bark
Birds don't sing
Ever since that morning she left town

And the neighbours, They won't talk to me
They act like I have a contagious disease
And the paperboy always gives me his nastiest frown

CHORUS

I'm lonelier than a leper
You know we used to go together like salt and pepper
As long as I could keep the foot out of my mouth

I'm gonna drown the sorrows from this bleeding heart
I'm make myself a brand new start
And when I see the bottom of this bottle I'm headed South

CHORUS

about

Tom Savage Kingston, Ontario

Tom Savage is what one might refer to as a triple-threat. One part truth-telling troubadour, one part death-defying guitar slinger, and one part Country Blues howler. Each facet of his formidable on-stage persona carefully crafted over a 20+ year devotion to the composition and performance of song. Tom is a true believer. A disciple of melody and harmony and tempo and timbre. ... more

Tom Savage recommends:

Foolish Frank
by Frontier Folk Nebraska

This is some good ol' fashioned rock and roll! Nice hooks with the right amount of garage band roughness. Tom Savage

Enderness
by A.A. Bondy

This is what an album should be. A collection of songs that, when placed in a particular order, create a fulfilling listening experience, far greater than that of the individual pieces of music. Tom Savage
