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
