作曲 : Penn
It’s a quiet night in Sorrow
On every street the lights are out
I am heading east along the far road
Starts a quarter mile from town
I’ve been there for a long while
I loved the people well
They listened when I sang for them
Of Jerusalem
Tho I sing only for myself
So long, sad town; so long, Sorrow
I’ll be long gone before dawn tomorrow
So long, Sorrow
So long, Sorrow
I know the governor of Sorrow
A ruler with a heavy hand
Crouching at the doors of all the townfolk
Driven there by circumstance
He’s been there for a long while
But his days are running out
Since he came it’s never rained a day
People thirst and pray
Wait around to see will water come down
So long, sad town; so long, Sorrow
I’ll be long gone before dawn tomorrow
So long, Sorrow
So long, Sorrow
Rumors of a man of sorrows
Circulatin’ far and wide
That He’ll come back again
But I won’t wait until then
I just passed by the town limit line
I walk east leaving Sorrow behind me
Maybe that Man of Sorrows will find me
Won’t you find me?
