Ballad Of The Sad Young Men |
Sing a song of sad young men |
Glasses full of rye |
All the news is bad again |
Kiss your dreams goodbye |
All the sad young men |
Sitting in the bars |
Knowing neon lights |
And 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 youth |
Trying to be brave |
Running from the truth |
Autumn 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 a sad young man |
While the grimy moon |
Watches from above |
All the sad young men |
Play at making love |
Misbegotten moon |
Shine for sad young men |
Let your gentle light |
Guide them home tonight |
All the sad young men |
