I wore a painted smile today, I mixed my tears with wine
I saw a young girl walk away into the lonely, a child of only sunshine and roses, love story closing
Who but a child of love can write a sad song? Who but the old love could understand? Who but the old man up in the rain cloud? Who but the old love to walk the land?
Standing in the night by the hard light and I called your name, staring into space and the image of your face returns again
I saw an old man cry today and no one asked him why, I lost the song I tried to play
The wheel keeps turning, the pain of learning, the eyes of sorrow have no tomorrow
Who but a child of love can write a sad song? Who but the old love could understand? Who but the old man up in the rain cloud? Who but the old love to walk the land?
Who but the old love could write a sad song? Who but the old love could understand?
