Lyrics
So Why So Sad
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.
Things get clear when I feel free
When whatever's next comes easily
When gentle hands give life to me
When your eyes fill with tiny tears
When I'm this still you are my life
So at ease in the midnight sky
But my insides will look like war
Paralysed except through my thought
So why so sad - You live and you love
So why so sad - Dependent on above
Searchin for the Dead Sea Scrolls
So why - so why so sad
My smile as real as a hyena's
Burns an expressway to my skull
But I'll stick myself together again
Spirit so low I no longer pretend
So why so sad - You live and you love
So why so sad - Dependent on above
Searchin for the Dead Sea Scrolls
So why - so why so sad
So why so sad - You live and you love
So why so sad - Dependent on above
Searchin' for the Dead Sea Scrolls
So why - so why so sad
So why so why so sad
So why so why so sad
So why so why so sad
