Sad Songs (we sing to ourselves)

Bluest song that one ever heard is one

that's so mournful it shouldn't be sung when

by chance someone hears it he'll come undone

words so sad tears are the ink of the pen

used to inscribe them guided by a hand

trembling with remorse so deep the singers weep

with pain that's so dark this song should be banned

lest it should happen to haunt even sleep

with dreams that will never come true ever

even over one thousand lives re-born

but no pain should last until forever

to render every life so forlorn

so better the peace of gentle silence 

be kept within to offer recompense
