Sorrow

So it goes the autumn leaves are falling
Soft upon the earth and winding streams
There they paint the sidewalks I am walking
I sing “alone and lonely that’s me”

Once I had a life full of adoring
I fell in love and lord it was a shame
One day she up and left me without warning
Now I walk the world and sing this refrain

Sorrow
Only sorrow
It’s the only thing that cares for me
Sorrow
Only sorrow
Leave me be, Leave me be

When the sun is setting in the valley
And all the angels whisper to the plains
Though my heart is weary I am singing
That I might find that everlasting day
I could sail a wish upon the river
To float upon the ripples and the waves
Hoping that someday it might deliver
Someone to wash my sorrows away

Sorrow
Only sorrow
It’s the only thing that cares for me
Sorrow
Only sorrow
Leave me be, Leave me be
Only sorrow
Leave me be, Leave me be
