Lyrics

Head Hang Low

All is lost in bright confusion

Once that loss was far away

Frightened man in deep division

Frightened man with head hang low

You may sit alone like me

But please don't sit alone like me

My world's very beautiful today

Oh

Patron saint of lost illusion

Come and paint my world in grey

I am lost, with no companions

All are bowed with head hang low

You may sit alone like me

But please don't sit alone like me

My world's very beautiful today

Oh

You may sit alone like me

But please don't sit alone like me

My world's very beautiful today

You may sit alone like me

But please don't sit alone like me

My world's very beautiful today

Oh
