Sorrow - Nits

She does not even warn me Or tells me she’s coming tomorrow

But suddenly she’s there — On my doorstep

She does not even cry — Cry like the other girls

But suddenly there are tears — On my pillow

Her eyes are going to burn me down

Every time that she is in my town

I try to swim and then I almost drown

She’s Sorrow She’s Sorrow

Her shadow whispers in my ears

She is telling me about my fears

She’s Sorrow She’s Sorrow

She does not even want me She tells me she is looking for another man

But suddenly she’s there — At my table

She does not even smile — Smile like the other girls

But suddenly there’s laughter — Outside my window

She does not even like me She calls me a liar and a dreamer

Suddenly she’s gone when I wake up She does not even warn me Or tell me she’s coming tomorrow

But suddenly she’s there — On my pillow
