Today I watched two gulls joust high above th lighhouse
And the sea foam against the cliffs
Like those rocks my life's eroding every day,
There's so much sorrow,
So much sorrow,
So much sorrow in the world
I was poking round the drawer you kept your secrets in,
Old manifestos that lost their wheels,
Cries from the heart you scribbled down and then forgot
About how there's so much sorrow
So much sorrow,
How there's so much sorrow in the world
There never was a poem as eloquent
As the song the wind sings in the eaves tonight,
Any fool could translate but i'll do the honours if I may,
It says there's so much sorrow
So much sorrow,
It says there's so much sorrow in the world
It's growing dark behind the windows,
A late bird glides across the sky,
The angelus is tolling and what it's trying not to say
is there's so much sorrow
so much sorrow,
so much sorrow in the world
I'd leave this place but I know i'd only miss it,
And the Acid in my battery's running low,
I used to skip like a schollgirl playing hopscotch down the years,
But now there's so much sorrow
So much sorrow,
Now there's so much sorrow in the world
And the sun will rise tomorrow like every day,
and i'll go walking along all the quitest roads,
and the crystal hanging in my window will find rainbows round the room,
and there'll still be too much sorrow
too much sorrow,
too much sorrow in the world
And the sea foam against the cliffs
Like those rocks my life's eroding every day,
There's so much sorrow,
So much sorrow,
So much sorrow in the world
I was poking round the drawer you kept your secrets in,
Old manifestos that lost their wheels,
Cries from the heart you scribbled down and then forgot
About how there's so much sorrow
So much sorrow,
How there's so much sorrow in the world
There never was a poem as eloquent
As the song the wind sings in the eaves tonight,
Any fool could translate but i'll do the honours if I may,
It says there's so much sorrow
So much sorrow,
It says there's so much sorrow in the world
It's growing dark behind the windows,
A late bird glides across the sky,
The angelus is tolling and what it's trying not to say
is there's so much sorrow
so much sorrow,
so much sorrow in the world
I'd leave this place but I know i'd only miss it,
And the Acid in my battery's running low,
I used to skip like a schollgirl playing hopscotch down the years,
But now there's so much sorrow
So much sorrow,
Now there's so much sorrow in the world
And the sun will rise tomorrow like every day,
and i'll go walking along all the quitest roads,
and the crystal hanging in my window will find rainbows round the room,
and there'll still be too much sorrow
too much sorrow,
too much sorrow in the world
