Sorrow (breaks A Good Man Down)
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.
Disappointments weigh so heavy leave its wreckage all around
Once a good man once respected sorrow breaks a good man down
Had a good love had a good life now the sadness all around
Dread the darkness hate the daylight sorrow breaks a good man down
I remember all the good times when the world was ours to flame
Then she left me took the sunshine every night wind speaks her name
Can't stop loving can't stop living there's no answer to be found
No ambition just existing sorrow breaks a good man down
[ guitar ]
I remember all the good times...
Sorrow breaks a good man down
