Of All of the Sorrows

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Of all of the sorrows these eyes have seen She carries her burden as if in a dream The laundry, the groceries she drags on the street And waits for the day she dreads he might leave She stares at the playground, no child of her own The winter blows barren, the seeds have all flown The candlestick maker is lost in his gloom The tinker, the tailor, the dark side of the moon [Verse 2] Of all of the sorrows this woman has seen The blisters, the beggars, the brothers of dreams Her open umbrella to shield off the rain Her hand feels the longing, her feet feel the pain She stares out the window, no warmth in her bed She's bitten her fingernails down to the red She cradles her vision and screams out of tune The tinker, the tailor, the dark side of the moon [Verse 3] Of all of the sorrows, what's left but the bone? Ashes to ashes, and feelings to stone Someday you'll learn to stand on your own And when you do, I swear you won't stand alone Until then the madness will feed from your sins And tearing your heart, you tear all your friends I cannot convince you it's never too soon The tinker, the tailor, the dark side of the moon [Outro] Of all of the sorrows these eyes have seen
