Accidentally Like A Martyr

Lyrics: Warren Zevon
Music: Warren Zevon

Issued on the Jerry Garcia box set "All Good Things." It seems to have been a one-off performance, with Jerry playing electric piano, Bob Mathews playing bass and Steve Parish playing drums.

The phone don't ring
And the sun refuse to shine
Never thought I would pay so dearly
For what was already mine
For such a long, long time

Chorus
We made mad love, shadow love
Random love, and abandoned love
Accidentally like a martyr
The hurt gets worse and the heart gets harder

[chorus]

The days slide by
Should have done, should have done, they all sigh
Never thought I'd ever be so lonely
After such a long, long time
Time out of mind

[chorus]
[chorus]
[chorus]
