[Verse 1]
Lover all my life
Oh, I've looked, but couldn't find
A single reason to stop motion
But you don't hold my heavy head
Like a coffin holds the dead
No, you hold it liked the Earth holds her oceans
And ooh, we rise and fall that way
Ooh, goin' to bed at the break of day
And every time you grace my lips
I'm on the graveyard shift
Loving you

[Chorus]
Oh now, woman, woman, woman!
My eyes don't shine the way they used to
But that's easy to ignore
I ain't lonely like before
No, I'm lying with my deathwish blue
I'll be lying with my deathwish blue

[Verse 2]
Lover when they tried
To tell your luck and sell you lies
They said I'd lay down only to leave you
And ooh, they just couldn't shut their mouths
Ooh, well, look who's laughing now
Guess I couldn't find in them
What I found in you

[Chorus]
Oh now, woman, woman, woman!
I hate the world and what it's come to
But it's easy to ignore
I ain't lonesome like before
Now I'm lying with my deathwish blue
I'll be lying with my deathwish blue
