Everybody Has a Story

Everybody has a story
Everybody has a tale to tell
Lies spoken, hearts broken
Lost in Hell
All you have to do is listen
That's the hardest thing to do
I promise I will try to listen to your troubles
Promise when it's my turn, so will you
Everybody has a story
Everybody has a tale to tell
Lost riches, old ditches
Rooms that smell
Your story sounds a lot like mine
I'd love to listen but I don't have time
It's after midnight and we've drunk the wine
You say buy a little more I 'll try a little more
Go on and why a little more
Your fathеr went to sea when you wеre born
Your mother went to Bellevue and your dog died in a storm
The only friend you had, he said you drove him mad
So what do you want of me, a little sympathy
Because life hurts you and friends desert you
And nobody wants to listen, nor do we
'Cause everybody has a story
Everybody has a tale tell
Doom tasted, hope wasted
Love to sell
All you have to do is listen
There's a nightmare coming true
Someone's trying to shoal the edges of the nightmare
It ought to make you grateful it's not you

Everybody has a story
All you have to do is listen
