Sorrow Is A Friend Of Mine

I wake up every morning

And I find

Sorrow is a good good friend of mine

He follows me around all the time

Sorrow is a friend of mine

 

I open up my eyes

He's sitting in that chair

Cutting his nails and combing

His hair

He gives a knowing smile

And says: "What did you think,

I'd walk out on you? Come on

Let's grab ourselves a drink."

 

He follows me to parties

Always at my side

I make a joke and the conversation dies

He says: "We don't need this crowd

Let's get out of here and go get ourselves

Another beer..."

 

And I was late to work again

He got me the sack

Now its me, him, these four walls

It's looking black

I can't find anything that shines

Sorrow is a good good friend of mine

 

He grabs the paper

Always points out the bad news

"Whichever way you look at this world you lose!"

I'm looking for a way out I can't find

Sorrow is still a friend of mine

 

I guess he moved in

The day that you walked out the door

Cut himself a key started crashing on the floor

I've asked him to leave

But he seems resigned, to sticking around

Sorrow is still a friend of mine

 

I've changed the locks

Get him evicted

But he knows where I live
