Love In The Ruins (Doctor, Dear Doctor) Lyrics

(Intro:)Doctor dear doctor I know how you feel...When we first met you gave me a book,"Love in the ruins", the title,When later you left the book on the shelfI knew that it had to be finalIt turned out to be a story of doomWe read the first chapter togetherBut still I continued to read in my roomAnd hoped it would go on forever(chorus:)Doctor dear doctor I know how you feelThere´s so many people you´re dyin´ to healAn all you can do is the best you can doDoctor dear doctor it´s all up to youA boy from the south with a hole in his heartThought he would marry an actressI bought him a bed from a second hand storeWith a queen size extra firm mattressI followed the characters hangin´ on the edgeA Merle Haggard record was playingClosing my eyes as we lay on the bedI could not hear what they were saying(chorus:)And how could you leave me at a time like thisHow could you leave me at allHaven´t you heard this is seriousI´ll pick up the telephone and call, I´ll call(chorus:)(chorus 2:)Doctor dear doctor I know how you feelSo many people are cryin´An all you can do is the best you can doDoctor dear doctor keep tryin´
