"Too Far Gone" lyrics

In the comfort of your sorrow
There's a load of it around
Feel it dragging like a millstone
Bringing everybody down
In the comfort of your sorrow
Keep avoiding every crime
Mercy's promise of tomorrow
Or a man just doing time

Away from you
And it's too far gone
Away from you
And it's too far gone

I'm panning now for gold dust
The old river's silted rust
Though it's never quite enough, love
That yellow lucre in the rough

Away from you
And it's too far gone
Away from you
And it's too far gone

In your thorny sorrow, grinning
Cause you've paid in blood before
I'll take it back to the beginning, yeah
Then I'll bleed a little more

Away from you
And it's too far gone
Away from you
And it's too far gone
Away from you
And it's too far gone
Too far down
Underground

In the comfort of your sorrow
Keep avoiding every crime
Mercy's promise of tomorrow
Or a man just doing time
Away
