i cannot sit sadly by your side

Cowboy Junkies

You throw away the gun
Did I tell you what's to be done
I need it to kill just one
And you said, ?I cannot sit sadly by your side?
And you said, ?I cannot sit sadly by your side?

I try to push open the door
Just to see what came before
But there is a body on the floor
And you said, ?I cannot sit sadly by your side?
And you said, ?I cannot sit sadly by your side?

You brought back that guitar
I told you I wanted it no more
It only plays the songs that no one is asking for
I cannot sit sadly by your side
I cannot sit sadly by your side

I bust in to the room not knowing really what to do
So I reach down and tear out page two hundred and fifty two
It reads, ? I can not sit sadly by your side?
It reads. ?I can not sit sadly by your side?
