Songs For Sorrow lyrics

Your heart is broken
To your surprise
Youre sick of crying
For blue eyes
So tired of living
Misunderstood
Think hard woman
I think you should

Come, sorrow is so peculiar
It comes in a day, then itll never leave you
You take a pill, wonder if it will fix you
They wonder why sorrow has never left you

Im talkin bout blue eyes, blue eyes
Whats the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes

Lady Jane the river saint
Special yes but lucky ain't
Lady Jane said she walked on water but she never had a man to show
Then one day she found a fella she was eager just to let him know
Lady Jane she walked on water
Followed by her brand new lover who tumbled along, drownin' down below

Lady Jane did not abort
For legends are never made that short
Now be sure when you listen to this

you're a lonely alcoholic
with a tendency to wine
well you speak it and you drink it
and bore us all the time

say you drink out of your sorrow
for you've got no one to love
but tell me who could cuddle up
to a lonely alcoholic

you're a stressed out single mother
who has clearly been harassed
well you can't predict the future
for you can't erase the past

Im a wind up toy
in an up-down world
if you leave me all alone
I'll make a mess for sure

Ive a heart of gold
in the smallest size
leave me in the dark
you never hear me cry

PRECHORUS 1:
more than an illustration
points of articulation
come to life on a brass spring
such a wonderful plaything

VERSE 2:
its a cruel cross
that I have to bear
if you come a little close
