In the shortest days
When the light unbraids
Oh, misery
When heaven said your name
It never felt the same
Misery where have you gone?
Let the stories
Gather us around as tiny songs
Some things of truth
Expose the pain
Long words of rain
Leave the world unchanged
Misery, where have you gone?
I said enjoy my friends with the drifting sand
Oh misery, sweet misery
Let the stories
Gather us around as tiny songs
Some things of truth
Expose the pain
Chorus:
What the hell you gonna do? (you're fading out)
Is this hell you're going through? (I can't get out)
Sweet misery.
What the hell you're gonna do? (you're fading out)
Is this hell you're going through? (I can't get out)
Sweet misery.
Now the fruit is gone
And the nights are long
She's come to stay
Let us say her name
Let her remain
Memories will have to do
What the hell you're gonna do?
What the hell you're gonna do?
Sweet misery.
What the hell you're gonna do?
Is this hell you're going through
Sweet misery
