A night with no moonlight a day with no sun
A plain with no palace a watch that won't run
A tree with no branches a rose with no dew
A boy with no sweetheart that's me without you
A train with no whistle a car with no gas
A well with no water a show with no cast
A love with no future a sky with no blue
A boy with no sweetheart that's me without you
[ guitar - steel ]
A bank with no money a top that won't spin
A book with no story a love I can't win
A chair with no bottom a rig with no crew
A song with no music that's me without you
A train with no whistle a car with no gas
A well with no water a show with no cast
A court with no jury a church with no pew
A boy with no sweetheart that's me without you.
