Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Ma sadness lives down the road in a place they call "The Inside"
A woman's lips told me so between the dawn and midnight
She said every house has a ghost and I will haunt you

With every kiss you were told "this beauty is true"

Because where sadness lives the angels sine
Of all the things a tear
Can bring
Of all your beauty 
And your soul
