I've been wasting my time drinking whisky and I sleep on the side that you lay And reading the letters you've sent through the years I smile as each tear hits the page I try to hide what I'm feeling inside But daylight keeps giving me away I know I'll get by but there's mountains to climb Until you come home to me safe When I dream of your face You're staring right back at me Its the loneliest place When you can't touch what you see But I choose this life So I pay the price Til then I'll be in the loneliest place Snow lined the way as your train left that day leaving tracks that reminded my heart our love will survive til we lay down to die And distance won't keep us apart Chorus But I choose this life So I pay the price And for you I'd die And where angels fly we'll be side by side only then will I no longer be In the loneliest place Come back come back to me I need you now
