You drove me back to a far off place where the stares won't recognise, to give me time to prepare myself for this overdue surprise, staring out at the ocean watching the tide start rolling in, you turn and say that in some strange way this is, where all journeys begin. And you say that it's sad but true, you say it's sad but true. Throw a coin in the wishing well for all the good years turned to bad, and some for all the children that we know we would've had, you say you're trying hard to forget, and your smile will never crack, so you move to another town and you're never coming back. And you say it's sad but true, you say it's sad but true. Say a prayer for the foolish man who'd never take a bride, Songtexteand one for the hungry man who will never swallow pride, say a prayer for the eager eyed who'll lose it all in haste, and a one for this rich man's son who will give away in waste, spare a thought for the greedy boy who has never learned to wait, and the superstitous fool who puts it all down to fate, most of all for this clever man and the things he always knew, but he never believed 'till he'd seen them all come true. And I'll tell you that's sad but true. So you say it's a sad sad world and there's a lot worse things you could see, like all the starvation and suffering well that means nothing at all to me. And I'll tell you that's sad but true. And I'll tell you that's sad but true. Aus Songtexte Mania
