The Sadman

From Just for a Day1991

Written by Neil Halstead

Produced by Chris Hufford

Lyrics

The Sadman

I know there is It all away It all goes 'round The house today The reason why You're losing time The sadman calls He calls for you He cries for you (need to be) He cries for you The sadman calls He calls for me The things you say The songs that shine For another time I count the ways Your smile's the place The sadman calls He calls for you He cries for you You hurt my feelings You're losing me The sadman cries He cries for me
