Sorrow - The McCoys

Sorrow where have you been? Show me them hands then invite me on into your house I knew that you'd come around Looking so lovely Looking so out on the town. Let's get to it. Let's talk sweetly like all our love is false Like we can stick around i'll say too much I'll let you down with sorrow's touch. Marrow straight to the bone. That's what I call you. That's where our love is at home I hate that you feel alone I hate that I need you I hate that I throw the first stone I should warn you I'm half-cultured I'm always getting upset, then I leave Let's stick around, I'll say too much I'll let you down with sorrow's touch Let's stick around, I'll say too much I'll let you down with sorrow's touch Let's stick around, I'll say too much I'll let you down with sorrow's touch Let's stick around, I'll say too much I'll let you down with sorrow's touch Let's stick around, I'll say too much I'll let you down with sorrow's touch

Sorrow found me when I was young Sorrow waited, sorrow won Sorrow, they put me on the pill It's in my honey, it's in my milk Don't leave my hyper heart alone on the water Cover me in rag and bone sympathy 'Cause I don't wanna get over you I don't wanna get over you Sorrow's my body on the waves Sorrow's a girl inside my cake I live in a city sorrow built It's in my honey, it's in my milk Don't leave my hyper heart alone on the water Cover me in rag and bone sympathy 'Cause I don't wanna get over you I don't wanna get over you Don't leave my hyper heart alone on the water Cover me in rag and bone sympathy 'Cause I don't wanna get over you I don't wanna get over you

Sometimes life seems to quiet into paralyzing silence Like the moonless dark meant to make me strong Familiar breath of my old lies Changed the color in my eyes Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by Sorrow lasts through this night I'll take this piece of you And hope for all eternity For just one second I felt whole As you flew right through me Left alone with only reflections of the memory To face the ugly girl that's smothering me Sitting closer than my pain He knew each tear before it came Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by Sorrow lasts through this night I'll take this piece of you And hope for all eternity For just one second I felt whole As you flew right through me And we kiss each other one more time And sing this lie that's halfway mine The sword is slicing through the question So I won't be fooled by his angel light Sorrow lasts through this night I'll take this piece of you And hope for all eternity For just one second I felt whole As you flew right through me And up into the stars Joy will come

Beat the clock. Try to make it stop Before time can draw the line And cut you down to her size Beat the clock. Try to make it stop Tell me how long will it take Before you finally realize That the carnival is over And you've seen much better days You have wasted too much time Into many different plays You deny the possibility Of growing old You are filled with false humility You're much too bold Beat the clock. Try to make it stop Before time can draw the line And cut you down to her size Beat the clock. Try to make it stop Tell me how long will it take Before you finally realize That you're in this game same as me Although you think you're not When you try to rise above it all You get just what you got It seems to me you're slipping You seem slightly unnerved When you finally see yourself You get what you deserve Beat the clock. Try to make it stop Before time can draw the line And cut you down to her size Beat the clock. Try to make it stop Tell me how long will it take Before you finally realize That the carnival is over And you've seen much better days You have wasted too much time Into many different plays You deny the possibility Of growing old You are filled with false humility You're much too bold
