Shaded
I'm sad and I'm lonely, my heart it will break
My sweetheart loves another, Lord, I wish I was dead!
My cheeks once were red as the bloom on the rose
But now they are whiter than the lily that grows
Young ladies, take a warning, take a warning from me
Don't waste your affections on a young man so free
He'll hug you, he'll kiss you, he'll tell you more lies
Than the cross-ties on the railroad or the stars in the sky
I'm troubled, I'm troubled, I'm troubled in mind
If trouble don't kill me, I'll live a long time
Give me back the nights
give me back the agony of my solitude
the nights i've spent alone
the million, endless, solitary nights of my life
give me back all the people i desired
and never came
give me back your love
the love which was never really given
and even in the lessons which you gave
there was the taking
for your surprise
at loving someone more helpless than yourself
give me back the nights
give me back the agony
of the years
of lonely living
give me back the thousand rejections of my love
give me back the love
which i deserved
give me back the time
the lost time and energy and beauty of my youth
wasted in the wait and spilled out in imitation
when nothing was coming
and the waiting
the waiting
give me back the nights
when we should've lain together
building a great temple of our love
give me back the nights
the nights,
the nights,
the nights,
the nights,
the nights
the long,
cruel,
endless,
dead
...
nights
I'm troubled (x2)

Give me back my broken night
my mirrored room, my secret life
it's lonely here,
there's no one left to torture
Give me absolute control
over every living soul
And lie beside me, baby,
that's an order!

I'm lousy when it comes to quotes.
