|
Sing a song of sad young men, glasses full of rye |
|
All the news is bad again, kiss your dreams goodbye |
|
All the sad young men sitting in the bars |
|
Knowing neon lights missing all the stars |
|
All the sad young men drifting through the town |
|
Drinking up the night, trying not to drown |
|
All the sad young men singing in the cold |
|
Trying to forget that they are growing old |
|
All the sad young men choking on their words |
|
Trying to be brave, running from the truth |
|
Autumn turns the leaves to gold, slowly dies the heart |
|
Sad young men are growing old that's the cruelest part |
|
All the sad young men seek a certain smile |
|
Someone they can hold for a little while |
|
Tired little girl does the best she can |
|
Trying to be gay for her sad young man |
|
While the grimy moon watches from up above |
|
All the sad young men play of making love |
|
Misbegotten moon shine for sad young men |
|
May your gentle light guide them home tonight |
|
All the sad young men |
