The Sadness

[Verse 1]

The stars they sink

In the oceans of ink

Long black ribbons of cars

And in the taxi

You ask me how I'm doing

But you already know

Beyond, beyond is not through

It's only a reflection of you

And somethings at the window

It motions with its fingers

Calling me beyond

[Pre-Chorus]

The sadness is mine

The sadness is mine

[Chorus]

It's why you're not helping me

Whatever has come for me

Oh, I can give you whatever you're wanting

Just take it and spare me, spare me

Please, oh tell me this is only a warning, no

Please have mercy let me go

If only a day to let her know

Without her I'm nothing at all

The change is happening and I'm almost gone

In her heart is my faith

And it wins against the sadness

[Verse 2]

The train it moves through the desert

The horses they will challenge its stride

And into the boxcar she leaps

And is my hero

And penetrates the demons inside

The clouds they pass

But they're moving so fast

I watch them collide

Collide and collapse in her arms like a newborn child

And I am at once reborn

[Pre-Chorus]

The sadness is mine

The sadness is mine

[Chorus]

It's why you're not helping me

Whatever has come for me

Oh, I can give you whatever you're wanting

Just take it and spare me, spare me

Please tell me this is only a warning, no

Please have mercy let me go

If only a day to let her know

Without her I was nothing at all

The change is happening and I'm almost gone

In her heart is my faith

And it wins against the sadness

[Verse 3]

The fog in the mote

As he grabs my throat

It lifts as she comes

She opens her cloak and it's the color of the blood

And is the sign of what now must come

Deny, deny me my destiny

I am not ready to go

I am the horror that brings us to the morning

Where I will have to stand and fight God!

[Pre-Chorus]

The sadness is mine

The sadness is mine

[Chorus]

It's why you're not helping me

Whatever has come for me

Oh, I can give you whatever you're wanting

Just take it and spare me spare me

Please, oh tell me this is only a warning, no

Please have mercy let me go

If only a day to let her know

Without her I was nothing at all

The change is happening and I'm almost gone

In her heart is my faith

And it wins against the sadness
