So Sad

(앨범: Another Time, Another Place - 2018)

I waited all that morning to hear him say I love you
So sure it was so certain it was left unspoken
My heart it was aching as he pulled back the curtains
He said nothing when he left me, he left me so heartbroken

I was
So sad
So sad

Oh yes, I waited all that morning to hear him say I love you
In the morning light he glistened like a ruby in a stickpin
Then he whispered something to the wet red-lettered window
He said nothing, he left me so heartbroken

I was
So sad
So sad

Shorty's in the poolroom, Billy's in the chute
Jack is at the track with some old lady with some loot
Willie sits and wonders at the words he cannot rhyme
I am not in prison, I am only doing time

Blue Eyes died in Vegas when they blew away the Sands
Elvis died in Memphis, boys they nailed him in one hand
Haley died in Corpus Christi, died without a dime
Mickey died in Tennessee, they buried him alive

And I am
So sad
That was the best he had
So sad
So sad

Yes, I waited all that morning, so many mornings after
So many lonely hours staring at the rafters
Until I would close my eyes and feel you next to me
But with the dawn so sure to come will go my sweetest dream

And I am
So sad

Oh yes, I waited all that morning, so many mornings after
So many lonely hours staring at the rafters
Until I would close my eyes and feel you next to me
But with the dawn so sure to come will go my sweetest dream

I am
So sad
So sad
So sad

So sad
