No Relief In Sight
Con Hunley Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Oh, my mind goes to pieces
And my loneliness increases
'Cause I need the arms that used to hold me tight

I've done everything I know of
To forget about your sweet love
Still there's no relief in sight

Your memory still wakes me
And it never fails to take me
Back to the room where you made things so right

I've tried hard to discover
That old feeling with another
Still there's no relief in sight

Those badly needed, healing hands of time ain't touched me yet
And though it's been so long, I know it's too soon to forget

Thought I'd get better someway
But it's been five years come Sunday
Still there's no relief in sight

Yes, I've done everything I know of
To forget about your sweet love

Still there's no relief in sight
Still there's no relief in sight
