The Carpet on the Floor

The Carpet On The Floor - Stonewall Jackson

Written by：Mcalpin

There's a path that is wore

In the carpet on the floor

By the window where

I watch and wait for you

I'm a prisoner alone in a cell that

Once was home

And there's no one to talk to but the blues

Oh the carpet on the floor

It's tattered and tore

And tears I've cried enough to flood the sea

Things that's loved the most by man

Are tossed about like a grain of sand

And lost just like the love you had for me

Till I'm too feeble to walk till

I grow too weak to talk

Till my eyes grow dim and

I no longer see

I'll still walk along alone

Prayin' for you to come home

Till the last breath of life has gone from me

Oh the carpet on the floor

It's raggered and wore

And tears I've cried enough to flood the sea

Things that's loved the most by man

Are tossed about like a grain of sand

And lost just like the love you had for me
