Lyrics:
Into sorrowful soil (sorrowful soil)
Our roots are dug
Into sorrowful soil (sorrowful soil)
Our roots are dug (our roots)
Into sorrowful soil
Our roots are dug
Into sorrowful soil (sorrowful soil)
Our roots are dug (our roots are dug, are dug)
In a woman's lifetime
She gets four-hundred eggs
But only two or three nests
Woven with a mother's life force (woven with a mother's life force)
Emotional textile (woven with a mother's life force)
Self-sacrificial (woven with a mother's life force)
This is emotional textile (woven with a mother's life force)
Self-sacrificial, self-sacrificial
Nihilist happening
Cut through this nihilist happening
You did well
You, you did your best
Well, you did your best, you did well (you, you did well)
You did-did, did-did-did, did well
You did, did, did-did-did-did-did-did-did well
You did, did, did-did-did-did well
You did well
Hearts afire creates love desire
Take you high and higher to the world you belong
Hearts afire creates love desire
High and higher to your place on the throne
We come together on this special day
Sing our message loud and clear
Looking back, we've touched on sorrowful days (well)
Future, past, they disappear

Don't you hear me, now?
Me and my gal, my gal's son
We got met with a tear gas bomb
I don't even know why we come
Goin' back where we come from
Oxford Town in the afternoon
Everybody singin' a sorrowful tune
Two men died 'neath the Mississippi moon
Somebody better investigate soon
Me and my gal, my gal's son
We got met with a tear gas bomb
I don't even know why we come
Goin' back where we come from
Oxford Town in the afternoon
Ev'rybody singin' a sorrowful tune
Two men died 'neath the Mississippi moon
Somebody better investigate soon
Oxford Town, Oxford Town
Ev'rybody's got their heads bowed down
The sun don't shine above the ground
Ain't a-goin' down to Oxford Town
Hearts afire creates love desire
Take you high and higher to the world you belong
Hearts afire creates love desire
High and higher to your place on the throne
We come together on this special day
Sing our message loud and clear

Never, ah
Well
Ooh, that love, that love, that love, that love
Don't you hear me, now?
The teacher of truth told tales of trouble times that would begin
And the cynical sewer sowed the sorrowful seeds of seven sins
The people placed a prize upon the prince of perfect peace
And the one who wooed the world was wounded, look unto the East
The morning moved in mournfully with many moments smart
My brawny beast who beat the beauty, bound and bit and barred
They laid the lash upon him low, his lips moved not the least
Watch him come from where he did go, look unto the East
The devil threw his darts and the dearest dove came droppin' down
But the spirit slips in soft and sweetly, unseen with no sound
The comforter, the counsellor with us till time is ceased
And the groom will return for his bride, look unto the East
Our romance won't end on a sorrowful note
Though by tomorrow you're gone
The song has ended but as the songwriter wrote
The melody lingers on
They may take you from me
I'll miss your fond caress
But though they take you from me
I'll still possess
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No, no, they can't take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No, no, they can't take that away from me
We may never never meet again
on that bumpy road to love
Still I'll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No, no, they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away
No, they can't take that away
No, they can't take that away from me
Dearie now tell me, why do you sigh,
Why do you let all the Sunshine pass bye,
Life's all too short for a worry or care,
When melody fills the air: Let us
Back of the shadows, there lies the sun,
Waiting the dawning when night-time is done,
Don't hide the Sun with a sorrowful sigh,
Let all your clouds pass you by: Let us
Dance a good old sweet-heart waltz,
In a good old fashioned way,
Let us glide along while life's a song
And there's Moonlight on the bay,
Let us sing a song of brighter days,
And forget each other's faults,
There are miles and miles of Sunny Smiles,
When dancing a sweet-heart waltz.
English:
Listen to my heart
Sorrowful, alas
I am lost without you
And your wife
The great love in your life
She guided me
Be with me always
Day and night
Chorus:
Lamenting the great loneliness
The sorrowful tears
Asleep [1] in the quiet green grave
In a deep peace
There was happiness
But that departed
It was he who followed you
Your husband
The great love in your life
He guided me
Be with me always
Day and night
Chorus
I think of the day
That you were beside ne
Telling a story [2]
Of the old life [3]
I remember the day
Without want and without gloom
Be with me always
Day and night
I married my wife on the day of the eclipse
Our friends awarded her courage with gifts
Now as the nights grow longer and the season shifts
I look to my sorrowful wife
Who is quietly tending her flowers
Who is quietly tending her .....
The water is high on the beckoning river
And I made her a promise I could not deliver
And the cry of the birds sends a terrible shiver
Through me and my sorrowful wife
Who is shifting the furniture around
Who is shifting the furniture around
Now we sit beneath the knotted Yew
And the bluebells bob up around our shoes
And the task of remembering the telltale clues
Goes to my sorrowful wife
Who is counting the days on her fingers
Who is counting the days on her .....
You'll never know I cried
When I found out you lied
So I''ll keep ridin'
Hidin' teardrops in my heart
A cowboy can't reveal
A broken heart until
He's all alone in someplace
Long to play the part
Though I'm pretending that I don't care
To be with you my darling is my prayer
But way down deep inside
I can't give up my pride
So I''ll keep ridin'
Hidin' teardrops in my heart
Now they say that the cowboy's
Not supposed to cry
But, friends, he has a heart
Just the same as you and I
I overheard one on the range today
And I knew you rode 'em sorrowful
In the song he sang
These are the words I heard him say
Though I'm pretending
Our romance won't end on a sorrowful note,
Though by tomorrow you're gone;
The song is ended, but as the songwriter wrote,
The melody lingers on.
Our romance won't end on a sorrowful note,
Though by tomorrow you're gone;
The song is ended, but as the songwriter wrote,
The melody lingers on.
The accused will rise to be torn in two
Guilty of nothing but loving you
This is the judgment
And I'm willing to plead
How you don't want me
Hoping this torment will cease
Will I be released
There'll be lies, there'll be tears
A jury of your peers
With a pitiful lack of experience
Hand down the judgment
And if I done wrong
And loved you too long
Stand up and just testify
How can I deny
Objection overruled
I wait for my reprieve
With the trust of the deceived
The wisdom of the fool
It's his sorrowful face
Too heavy for his head
'Cause he bowed it as something come over him
It was the judgment
He falls to his knees
Have mercy on me
He clings to the hem of her gown
She says, "Just take him down."
Objection overruled
I wait for my reprieve
With the trust of the deceived
The wisdom of the fool
It's his sorrowful face
Too heavy for his head
'Cause he bowed it as something come over him
It was the judgement
He falls to his knees
Have mercy on me
He clings to the hem of her gown
She says, "Just take him down."
Up high in a mansion
On a mountain of jagged rock
Behind two iron doors
So heavy they need no lock
Is the last place that love lives
Where the sad woman cries
Is the last place that love lives
Behind your eyes
You hold up your finger
And you place it to my lips
And you tell me that anger
Can never get rid of this
Is the last place that love lives
Where the sad woman cries
Is the last place that love lives
Behind your eyes
Never blind to misfortune
Never deaf to the sorrowful moan
Set adrift on an ocean
Until I find that peaceful shore
Is the last place that love lives
Where the sad woman cries
Is the last place that love lives
Behind your eyes
She loved him most when his eyes were gray
The palest shade of a winter day
They filled her with a raging fire
And a bittersweet desire
She shined for him like candlelight
That softly beckons in the night
But he said no right to her face
Then simply turned and walked away
[Chorus:]
All Heaven watched from way on high
True love given and denied
And while her heart was broke and bleeding
Sorrowful angels wept into their wings
She wore him like a lock and chain
Only in dreams she spoke his name
By day it slipped upon her tongue
The taste of unrequited love
Now her hair is long and gray
The palest shade of a winter day
She never took a ring of gold
She swears she never loved a soul
[Chorus:]
Sorrowful angels wept into their wings
She loved him most when his eyes were gray
Frightened by the tone of a phone in the dead of night
Then staring into darkness and praying till the morning light
The price already paid
A son gone to the grave
Now the sorrowful parade to the riverbank
Must be half the county come down to the riverbank
High school is closed, same for the local police
Shall we tearfully embrace?
Our romance won't end on a sorrowful note
Though by tomorrow you're gone
The song is ended, but as the songwriter wrote
The melody lingers on
They may take you from me, I'll miss your fond caress
But though they take you from me, I'll still possess
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No, no, they can't take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No, no, they can't take that away from me
We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
But, I'll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No, no, they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away from me
Objection overruled
I wait for my reprieve
With the trust of the deceived
The wisdom of the fool
It's his sorrowful face
Too heavy for his head
Cos he bowed it as something come over him
It was the judgement
He falls to his knees
Have mercy on me
He clings to the hem of her gown
She says, "Just take him down."
Our romance won't end on a sorrowful note,
Though by tomorrow you're gone;
The song is ended, but as the songwriter wrote,
The melody lingers on.
Our romance won't end on a sorrowful note,
Though by tomorrow you're gone;

I married my wife on the day of the eclipse
Our friends awarded her courage with gifts
Now as the nights grow longer and the season shifts
I look to my sorrowful wife
Who is quietly tending her flowers
Who is quietly tending her
The water is high on the beckoning river
I made her a promise I could not deliver
And the cry of the birds sends a terrible shiver
Through me and my sorrowful wife
Who is shifting the furniture around
Who is shifting the furniture around
Now we sit beneath the knotted Yew
And the bluebells bob up around our shoes
The task of remembering the telltale clues
Goes to my sorrowful wife
Who is counting the days on her fingers
Who is counting the days on her
Come on and help me baby
Come on now
Come on and help me baby
I was blind
The grass here grows long and high
Twists right up to the sky
White clouds roll on by
Come on now and help me babe
I was blind
I was a fool babe
I was blind
A loose wind last night blew down
Black trees bent to the ground
Their blossoms made such a sound
That I could not even hear myself think babe
I was blind
I was a fool babe
I was a blind fool, babe
I was a fool babe
I was blind babe
I was a fool babe
I was a blind fool, babe
I was a fool
Blind babe
Blind babe
Blind babe
I'm so broke that a dollar bill
Looks big as a window shade
Now some say the blues are sorrowful
Some say the blues are sad
But when I sing the blues to you
They come out feeling glad
I've got those blues
Those empty pockets blues
