find the saddest song in the world

“No Poetry”

“There’s no poetry between us”
Said the paper to the pen
Something’s burning in the attic
That her tongue will not defend
Through the arc of conversation
Past the teeth behind the smile
Down the miracle mile
To the bottom of the ladder
Paint your eyes and hide the tatters
What’s the matter baby?
Could we go downtown
To the middle of the world?
You were always such a pretty girl
And you told me I was beautiful
“There’s no poetry between us”
Said the paper to the pen
“And I get nothing for my trouble
But the ink beneath my skin”
If your clothes are getting weary
And your soul’s gone out of style
Blame the miracle mile
And the bottom of the ladder
Paint your eyes and hide the tatters
What’s the matter baby?
...I’m coming too

Listen Here

^{there’s no one in town i know
you gave us someplace to go
i never said thank you for that
thought i might get one more chance}

what would you think of me now?
so lucky
so strong
so proud
never said thank you for that
now i’ll never have a chance

may angels lead you in
hear you me my friends
on sleepless roads the sleepless go
may angels lead you in

what would you think of me now?
so lucky
so strong
so proud
never said thank you for that
now i’ll never have a chance

may angels lead you in
hear you me my friends
on sleepless roads the sleepless go
may angels lead you in

if you were with me tonight
i’d sing to you just one more time
a song for a heart so big god wouldn’t let it live

may angels lead you in
hear you me my friends
on sleepless roads the sleepless go
may angels lead you in

may angels lead you in
hear you me my friends
on sleepless roads the sleepless go
may angels lead you in
