Lyrics The Song of Infinite Sadness - Strawbs

The Song of Infinite Sadness

Nobody knows where the song came from
The song of infinite sadness
Perhaps it came from Babylon
I hold you to the heavens
Your soul will speak to me
As you leave
The longer the wait
The softer your words become
Nobody knows who wrote the song
The song of infinite sadness
Perhaps he carved his name in stone
Two songbirds fly in silence
Two songbirds share a voice
With one tongue
The sun gods awake
The songbirds will sing once more
Two lovers torn apart
A heart that beats alone
One heart shared between two lovers
The song of infinite sadness
Nobody knows who sang the song
The song of infinite sadness
Perhaps he lives within us all
