The Glutton of Symphaty

In the breathless hush of

Four am

In the dark sits a sad cliche'

Cloaked in the navy blu of slowly

Fading stars

Tell me how this came to be

Sleeplessness talk to me

She'd say over and over again

Fumbling through a cut glass vase

Passing lipstick and cotton spools

Burning jealous pictures of

Marriages of friends

You never asked to be

The glutton of sympathy

She says over and and over that this is

The end

'Cause i see it in her eyes

What you don't know, time to let go

I see it in your eyes there is so

Much more out there to be learned

Such mornful words

On this white snow

Vacant page all the lesson

That she learns she packs away

Will you never cease to be

The glutton of sympathy

She writes over and over again

That's when i see it in your eyes

What you don't know time to let go

I see it in your eyes

There is so much more out there to

Be learned

Tossing, turning roll away

Indecision won't you ever make up

Your mind

Lifetime nighttime wake the day

'Cause tomorrow will see

If you've had your fill of sympathy

Will you never cease to be

The glutton of sympathy

Don't you know the stars are all

Fading let the sunshine capture the sparkle of

Your smile
