Saddest Story Never Told
06:28
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Daughter of The Old Man
Kep’ a diary of wax and grease
Hard knocks on the chin
A life with no peace
Better world / a deader place
Or so that was her wish
But the Old Man’s wagon
Just keep rolling thru the piss
CHORUS
Saddest story never told
Oldest soul t’ fight gettin’ old
When the bough broke
The old man awoke
And Down came his baby
At the end of a rope
Verse 2:
Black as placid blood
In a glowin’ angry moon
A distant muffled thud
She’s leavin’ here too soon
Truer story never told
Let down her filthy locks
Suffering the salt of sages
Throw a handful on the box
CHORUS
(Same as above)
Verse 3:
Barn owl screechin’ early light
Hear the old man moan
Cracks her diary open
In a pile of rags and bones
Mourin’ came & the mournin’ left
In silence all alone
Scattering the ashes
Collectin’ rags and bones
CHORUS
Oldest soul t’ fight gettin’ old
When the bough broke
The old man awoke
And Down came his baby
At the end of a rope
Verse 4:
Saddest story never told
Saddest story never told
You won't find it in a magazine
It didn't make front page news
CHORUS
Oldest soul t’ fight gettin’ old
When the bough broke
The old man awoke
And Down came his baby
At the end of a rope
Outro: Saddest story never told... repeat 5 times
