Don't cry for me, lover Don't shed a tear Let your laughter ring out I can hear it in my ears Your love - the ocean I went for a swim Tried to build a boat But I still drowned in it You see, lover, Sorrow follows me around It picks me up and it holds me down It follows me from town to town It was there even when you were around But I try never to make a sound My brothers, my brothers, How I miss your soul I could feel your tragedy I could feel it in my bones My brothers, my brothers! How I miss your soul I could feel your tragedy I could feel it years ago, years ago You see, lover, Sorrow follows me around And it picks me up and it holds me down And it follows me from town to town And it was there even when you were around But I try never to make a sound Sweet Sweet Sweet sorrow, come take me home Come take me home Come take me, sweet
