Sadness like a river
Runs deep and cold
Ravishing and raging
Vicious and bold
Firing at one time
Water in the soul
A heart can be drownded
With nothing to hold
The sea of loneliness
Is rough and dark and deep
A man lies down at night
So heart-sick that he can't sleep
Caught in this flood of time
With no hand to hold
The grass
The grief you left me sinking here
And the memories of the past
My life is flashing
Before my eyes
A man gives up to sadness
And the same man must die
Ah!
Ah!
The sea of loneliness
Is rough and dark and deep
A man lies down at night
So heart-sick that he can't sleep
Caught in this flood of time
With no hand to grasp
The grief you left me sinking here
And the memories of the past
Caught in this flood of time

My life is flashing
Before my eyes
A man gives up to sadness
And the same man must die
A man gives up to sadness
And the same man must die
A man gives up to sadness
Ooh!
Ooh!
Ooh!
Ooh!
