Joe Bonamassa Lyrics
Sloe gin, sloe gin
Tryin' to wash away the pain inside
Well, I'm sick and I'm all done in
And I'm standin' in the rain
And I feel like I'm gonna cry
I'm so damn lonely
And I ain't even high
I'm so damn lonely
And I feel like I wanna die
Mayday, Mayday
I've been shot down over stormy sea
Well, I feel like I'm driftin' away
Can't seem to get a grip on me
Now I can't even try
I'm so damn lonely
And ain't even high
I hate to go home alone
But what else is new
I'm so damn lonely
I hate to go home alone
But what else is new
I'm so damn lonely
You stand there bleedin'
People pass me by
No matter if you live
No matter if you die
Sloe gin, sloe gin
Tryin' to wash away the pain inside
Well, I'm sick and I'm all done in
I'm standin' in the rain
And I feel like I'm gonna die
I'm so damn lonely
And ain't even high
I'm so damn lonely
Sloe gin, honey
Baby, come and get the best of me

Терновый джин
Попытка смыть внутреннюю боль
Я болен и совсем измождён
И стою под дождём
И кажется, будто вот-вот расплачусь
О чёрт, я так одинок
И даже не пьян
Я чертовски одинок
И как будто сейчас умру
Спасите меня, я разрушен
На другом берегу буйного моря
Я чувствую, что меня уносит волнами,
И не могу овладеть собой,
Не могу даже попытаться
О чёрт, я так одинок
И даже не пьян
Я ненавижу идти домой один
Но что ещё изменилось?
О чёрт, я так одинок
Я ненавижу идти домой один
Но что ещё изменилось?
О чёрт, я так одинок...
Ты стоишь, и истекающие кровью люди идут мимо меня
Неважно, что ты жив,
Неважно, если умрёшь
Терновый джин
Попытка смыть внутреннюю боль
Я болен и совсем измождён
И стою под дождём
И кажется, будто вот-вот расплачусь
О чёрт, я так одинок
И даже не пьян
Я так одинок...

im a metalhead. This is not my usual type of music. But my dad used to love this song and we always listened to it together. He died on leucemia 2 years ago. I really miss him and sometimes i listen to this song to remember him. Thank you, Joe.

@Ronald Reardon there is an article I read about that, and yes. It was from the version Tim Curry did.... But WAY BETTER.

I'm 71, all my relatives, Mom, Dad, aunts and uncles left the world after 70-71 trips around the Sun, hopefully they are with the "SON" of "GOD" I'd venture a guess, their all neighbors now... never lose the Faith Braw.....
