So Sad

I waited all that morning
To hear him say I love you
So sure it was so certain
It was left unspoken
My heart it was aching
As he pulled back the curtains
He said nothing when he left me
He left me so heartbroken, I was
So sad
So sad
Oh yes, I waited all that morning
To hear him say I love you
In the morning light he glistened
Like a ruby in a stickpin
Then he whispered something
To the wet red-lettered window
He said nothing
He left me so heartbroken
I was
So sad
So sad
Shorty’s in the poolroom
Billy’s in the chute
Jack is at the track with some old lady with some loot
Willie sits and wonders at the words he cannot rhyme
I am not in prison, I am only doing time
Blue Eyes died in Vegas when they blew away the Sands
Elvis died in Memphis, boys they nailed him in one hand
Haley died in Corpus Christi, died without a dime
Mickey died in Tennessee, they buried him alive
And I am
So sad
That was the best he had
So sad
So sad
Yes, I waited all that morning
So many mornings after
So many lonely hours
Staring at the rafters
Until I would close my eyes
And feel you next to me
But with the dawn so sure to come
Will go my sweetest dream
And I am
So sad
Oh yes, I waited all that morning
So many mornings after
So many lonely hours
Staring at the rafters
Until I would close my eyes and
Feel you next to me
But with the dawn so sure to come
Will go my sweetest dream
And I am
So sad
So sad
So sad
Aaah, aah-aaah
Aah-aaah
So sad
