Sorrow Knows

I cast shadows where

when you talk to me

the cost of time

it still tells on me

the harbor watch

the harbor moan

the tide unfolds

to find you alone

It had to be that way,

Sorrow in the darkest night

in the darkest day against the sun

I detected you

by the ringing bell

and run to the safety

of your wishing well

your blue memories

of 1965

clouds your dreams

and they crush your mind

It had to be that way,

Sorrow in the darkest night

in the darkest day against the sun

Shadows fall

where you fell

time flashes on

and it's time that tells

clouded less than sweet

against your dreams

violence always sits

just underneath

It had to be that way,

Sorrow in the darkest night

in the darkest day against the sun
