I Can't See the Light of Day Lyrics

I built my house on shallow sand
Now I just don't understand
Why it's all been washed away
And I can't see the light of the day

I tried so hard to make you smile
But you just stuck me in a file
Marked no good man just throw away
And I can't see the light of the day

Oh that darkness sure is cold

When you're shut out and feeling old
Old sick and broke and grey
And I can't see the light of the day

I don't mean you no offense
But that ain't no way to treat your friends
I wouldn't treat my dog that way
And I can't see the light of the day
