Subject: ADD Version: Old Devil's Dream
Here's a version with a third verse:
OLD DEVILS DREAM
Young devils find love most every night
They lie with their dreams and in their arms til daylight
They use love like whiskey, their cares to dissolve
To charm them and warm them but, not to involve
I was a young devil sturdy and proud
I used to laugh often, I used to laugh loud
I laughed when you told me goodbye that last time
I didn't know how you'd linger on this old devil's mind
Old devils dream, all alone it seems
Old devils dream all alone
When their devilment is done
Their wildest races run
Old devils dream all alone
Young devils find even they must grow old
Love that was always so warm has grown cold
Their sweet things have vanished and sweet dreams have flown
Sleep when it comes finds them sleeping alone
