Archie Roach - The Songs of Charcoal Lane

I’ve Lied (30th Anniversary Edition)

Sitting here in a lonely old guest house
I'm sure that my life is all through
Scratchin' fleas and watchin' a grey mouse
I'm makin' love to the memory of you

But without you, I'm weak and uncertain
And I feel so naked and cold
Like a window without any curtain
My innermost feelings unfold

And the drink I just had
It wasn't as bad as the first
But drinkin' won't do
When it's only for you I thirst, yeah, I thirst

'Cause your kiss, it quenches all burnin'
Oh, it's sweeter than the sweetest of wine
Now you're gone, oh, I find myself yearnin'
For the love that I left behind

And nobody can heal the pain that I feel inside
And if I said I'm strong and I'm never wrong
I've lied
Oh, I've lied, yeah

And nobody can heal the pain that I feel inside
Oh, if I said I'm strong and I'm never wrong
I've lied
Oh, I've lied
I've lied
