SAD SONG

I know I'm alive, for certain
I'm alive 'cause I feel pain
So pour a drink and draw the curtain
Close my eyes and hear the sad refrain

And it plays on and on
My sad song
It sings for my soul,
Speaks for all my other senses
On and on
Take me along
Sing for me, my sad, sad song.

See my breath against the window
Feel the ache within my chest
Sadness whispers as the wind blows
But a melody just seems to say it best

As it plays on and on
My sad song
It sings for my soul
Serenades my circumstances
On and on
Take me along
Sing for me, my sad, sad song.

How I wish that I could tell you
How I wish that you were here
But through my grief I've grown to value
The sacred song of sadness that I hear

As it plays on and on
My sad song
Sings for my soul,
Speaks for all my other senses
On and on
Take me along
Sing for me, my sad, sad song.
Sing for me, my sad, sad song.
Sing for me, my sad, sad song.
