Sorrows - Melanie Penn
It's a quiet night in Sorrow
On every street the lights are out
I am heading east along the far road
Starts a quarter mile from town
I've been there for a long while
I loved the people well
They listened when I sang for them
Of Jerusalem
Tho I sing only for myself
So long sad town so long Sorrow
I'll be long gone before dawn tomorrow
So long Sorrow
So long Sorrow
I know the governor of Sorrow
A ruler with a heavy hand
Crouching at the doors of all the townfolk
Driven there by circumstance
He's been there for a long while
But his days are running out
Since he came It's never rained a day
People thirst and pray
Wait around to see will water come down
So long sad town so long Sorrow
I'll be long gone before dawn tomorrow
So long Sorrow
So long Sorrow
Rumors of a man of Sorrows
Circulating far and wide
That come back again
I Won't wait until then
I just passed by the town limit line
I walk east leaving Sorrow behind me
Maybe that man of Sorrows will find me
Won't you find me
Won't you find me
