Sing a song of sad young man
|
Glasses full of rye
|
All the news is bad again so
|
Kiss your dreams goodbye
|
|
All the sad young men
|
Sitting in the bars
|
Knowing neon nights
|
Missing all the stars
|
|
All the sad young men
|
Drifting through the town
|
Drinking up the night
|
Trying not to drown
|
|
All the sad young men
|
Singing in the cold
|
Trying to forget
|
That they're growing old
|
|
All the sad young men
|
Choking on their worth
|
Trying to be brave
|
Running from the truth
|
|
Autumm turns the leaves to gold
|
Slowly dies the heart
|
Sad young men are growing old
|
That's the cruelest part
|
|
All the sad young men
|
Seek a certain smile
|
Someone they can hold for a little while
|
Tired little girl does the best she can
|
Trying to be gay for her sad young man
|
|
While the grimy moon
|
Watches from above
|
All the sad young men
|
Play of making love
|
|
Misbegotten moon
|
Shine for sad young men
|
Let your gentle light
|
Guide them home tonight
|
All the sad young men
|
