lyrics

Lover, play me a sad song
Let it ring around in my head
Let it bring back all the days
The days I wished I’d stayed in bed
Let it comfort all the days
The days I wished that I was dead
Lover, play me a sad, sad song
Lover play me a sad song
Play some slow and minor tune
A melody that listens
That listens and does not presume
One that on happy days
Would be too bitter to consume
Lover, play me a sad, sad song
My lover turns to me to say:
“There’s no such song I can play
I know darkness too
But such sad song are not my way
You may walk the night
But I’m a creature of the day
Lover, I know no such song”
Lover, must my song be sad?
Lover, must my song be grey?
Must I be the night
When I do so love the day?
Lover, will you listen
To the sad songs that I play?
Lover, can you love my song?
My lover gave me both her hands
She asked me to play as I might
For colours paint the sky
Where the day meets with the night
And we’d miss melancholy stars
If the sun always shone bright
For my lover I’ll keep playing
My sad, sad, sad, sad, sad, sad song
