Sad Song Lyrics - Singles - Ephraim Lewis

Back room parlor lonely sits and cries 

See her with her head in hands 

But nothing at all in her eyes 

Always listening for the telephone 

But it only rings wrong numbers 

Or whenever she's not at home 

Thinking life would pass her by 

She opens up her arms to reach for the sky 

Broken dreams, they never came true 

So now she paints herself a sad song 

And colors it blue 

Late night cafe's closing on the street 

He's turning out to hide in doorways 

Any corner that others sleep 

Empty bottle spirits, he has known 

A vision of a quiet face 

Together they look like home 

Thinking life would pass him by 

He opens up his arms to reach for the sky 

Broken dreams, they never came true 

So now he paints himself a sad song 

And colors it blue 

Memories fading photograph of years ago 

When life had passed them by 

They opened up their mouths to scream at the sky 

My dreams, they never came true 

So we will paint ourselves a sad song 

And color it blue 

Color it blue 

Don't blame the passerby 

Don't blame the passerby 

Don't blame the passerby 

...
