Sounds Of Sadness
I get soft behind my eyes
When I hear the sounds of sadness
Is it dog, or is it woman
Wailing or howling
How can so much sadness be found in one sound
When you see sadness walking down the street
Does she thrill you make you smile to know
You're just a little better than she is until you realize
It was you you were watching all along

Steals up to the vacuum blackness
Of the sky cut up by scolding northern lights
Leaving me feeling small

When you see sadness walking down the street
Does she thrill you make you smile to know
You're just a little better than she is until you realize
It was you you were watching all along

Tease me stillness, tease me calm
Take me down, the sounds of sadness
Strike me down, the sounds of sadness
Lay me down, the sounds of sadness
