Misery - Nils Lofgren

Sweet occasion and an old champagne

Snow-blind down an unmarked road

Broken two hearts that feel the pain

Or the hope that died

Rescued, I would almost be

But for the misery

I came to, in a human hell

It hit me hard and my spirits fell

Heart and soul, broke and abused

From a strangers rage

No I’ll never be set free

By this misery, by this misery

Misery, what did I do?

Misery did I deserve a fate like you?

Misery, will it ever pass?

Will I find the guts to last?

Patience gone, feel the end in sight

I’ll be free today or I’ll be dead tonight

Dear Lord, why have you gone and forsaken me?

Will I finally be set free?

From this misery, from this misery

Yeah, this misery, yeah misery

Why did ya do it?

Why’d ya do it now?

In all this misery
