I wore a painted smile today, I mixed my tears with wineI saw a young girl walk away into the lonely, a child of only sunshine and roses, love story closingWho 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 againI saw an old man cry today and no one asked him why, I lost the song I tried to playThe wheel keeps turning, the pain of learning, the eyes of sorrow have no tomorrowWho 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?
