Willie Nelson — Opportunity to Cry/Permanently Lonely Live 1966

[Part I: Opportunity To Cry] [Verse 1] I just watched the sunrise on the other side of town Once more I've waited and once more you've let me down This would be a perfect time for me to die So I'd like to take this opportunity to cry [Verse 2] You gave your word now I return it to you With this suggestion as to what you can do Just exchange the words I love you for goodbye While I take this opportunity to cry [Verse 3] I'd like to see you but I'm afraid That I don't know wrong from right And if I saw you would I kiss you Or want to kill you on sight [Verse 4] It's been a long night so I think I'll go home And feed my nightmares they've been waiting all, all night long They'll be the last ones to tell me goodbye And they'll give me many opportunities to cry [Part II: Permanently Lonely] [Verse 1] Don't be concerned it's time I learned That those who play with fire get burned But I'll be alright in a little while But you'll be permanently lonely [Verse 2] Don't be too quick to pity me Don't salve my heart with sympathy Because I'll be alright in a little while Ah, but you'll be permanently lonely [Verse 3] The world looks on with wonder and pity at your kind 'Cause it knows that the future is not very pretty for your kind For your kind will always be running and wondering What's happened to hearts that you've broken and left all alone But we'll be alright in a little while but you'll be permanently lonely Running lonely
