Hell, It Ain'T No Fad, But Best I Forget It

Hell, It Ain't No Fad, But Best I Forget It I want it so bad but I just can't get it Hell, it ain't no fad, but best I forget it Life is just a broken heart disease And not golden treasure that please But that calm after the damn storm And in my prayers I pray you no harm Tis my dying soul they want to seize And lost spirit in this earthen form O' tis darkness, the evil in terra form I want it so bad but I just can't get it Hell, it ain't no fad, but best I forget it Love is the harvest but mine is absent A hero's sword is straight but mine is bent It is a moonlit night and I'm a'cryin I've lost my true sight, I am a'dyin Comes that calm after the damn storm And in my prayers I pray you no harm I beg forgiveness for all of my lyin' I want it bad but I just can't get it Hell, it ain't no fad, but best I forget it R.J. Lindley, 1973 Lyric, -when life was a dream- a hope Edited, 1977, April 07-1979 Today, 7-19-2021
