Girl of Mysterious Sorrow
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Verse 1:
I'm coming to see you, tomorrow sometimeD
Gonna bring you some roses, gonna tear
off the vines
Gonna talk to the wind that blows through the trees
Kiss you like always from down on my knees
Bridge:
Gonna ask you some questions, get no replies
Wipe all the tears, falling down from my eyesEm
'Cause the one that I wanted, I never could know
Girl of Mysterious Sorrow
Girl of Mysterious Sorrow
Verse 2:
Gonna park in the street, gonna open the gate
Walk to the spot where you always wait
I'll be shaking my head like I usually doD
'Cause the name and the dates tell me nothing
about you
Bridge:
But I'll sit in the shadows and let you explain
All of the sadness and all of the painEm
Did it all seem so hopeless you just had to let go?
Girl of Mysterious Sorrow
Girl of Mysterious Sorrow
Chorus:
Mysterious ... Mysterious
Mysterious ... Mysterious
Verse 3:
Yeah I'm coming to see you but I really can't wait
There's just a few things I needed to say
Like why were you hiding so much of yourself?
Why were you living for somebody else?
Bridge:
Well I know that I've always been looking for you
But lately it's not such a hard thing to doEm
'Cause it seems like inside every woman I know
There's a girl of mysterious sorrow
A girl of mysterious sorrow
Chorus:
Mysterious ... Mysterious
Mysterious ... Sorrow ...
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
