About the Artist
Lyrics
Memories are all we leave Fragments of lost melancholy Traces of a generation gone Tiny pieces of broken glass Sh-sh-sh-shining like golden glitter Looking up at the dying stars Unloved by all who pass this way I never really got a chance to say Like islands in the stream That get washed away One more time in The ghetto you see I convinced myself That I don't walk the line I've never deserted By luck or by design A song for the sadness To clear away the madness A song for the sadness A song for the sadness He made me with a true kindness That I still feel runs through my flesh Out of us time made such a mess I can't ignore and I must confess Like islands in the stream That get washed away One more time in The ghetto you see I convinced myself That I have walked a line I've never deserted By lack or by design A song for the sadness To clean away the badness A song for the sadness A song for the sadness A song for the sadness To clean away the madness A song for the sadness A song for the sadness
