about

Dedicated to the memory of Christopher Skinner.

lyrics

I sit upon this concrete step
And try to pay my last respects.
The wind is whipping past my ears,
Colder than it’s been in years.
Oh, sorrow, let me go.

My fingers try to make a fist,
As cowards shelter in our midst.
With a lie as big as that,
It’s easier to smell a rat.
Oh, sorrow, let my poor heart go.
Oh sorrow, let your people go.

Run and hide and save your soul.
But, devils come to take their toll.

The phone’s been ringing off the hook,
With condemnations for a crook.
A measure of a man, you see,
Is much more than you’ll ever be.
Oh, sorrow, let me go.
Oh, sorrow, let my poor heart go. Oh, sorrow, take this woe.
Oh, sorrow, leave this world and go.
