Of All of the Sorrows

[Verse 1]
Of all of the sorrows these eyes have seen
She carries her burden as if in a dream
The laundry, the groceries she drags on the street
And waits for the day she dreads he might leave
She stares at the playground, no child of her own
The winter blows barren, the seeds have all flown
The candlestick maker is lost in his gloom
The tinker, the tailor, the dark side of the moon

[Verse 2]
Of all of the sorrows this woman has seen
The blisters, the beggars, the brothers of dreams
Her open umbrella to shield off the rain
Her hand feels the longing, her feet feel the pain
She stares out the window, no warmth in her bed
She's bitten her fingernails down to the red
She cradles her vision and screams out of tune
The tinker, the tailor, the dark side of the moon

[Verse 3]
Of all of the sorrows, what's left but the bone?
Ashes to ashes, and feelings to stone
Someday you'll learn to stand on your own
And when you do, I swear you won't stand alone
Until then the madness will feed from your sins
And tearing your heart, you tear all your friends
I cannot convince you it's never too soon
The tinker, the tailor, the dark side of the moon

[Outro]
Of all of the sorrows these eyes have seen
