"Such Sweet Misery"
I cried for the little boy.
Who skinned his knee in a fall.
And for the little girls lost toy.
That precious little susie doll.
I cried for the tears of a mother.
Who lost her baby in a crash.
Now lost, her baby and another.
The other car driving too fast.
I cried for the sorrow of a dad.
Who walked away without a care.
He thinks about the daughter he had.
And hates himself for not being there.
I cried for that stormy day.
When she sat in the back room.
And watched her daddy walk away.
Hoping he'd be coming home soon.
And now shes nearly 18 years old.
And still everyday she checks the window.
This burning fire of hope has gone cold.
She knows now hes not going to show.
This cold never seems to go away.
Though winters come and passed.
Now all her hopes died today.
She knew it could never last.
So slowly she closes the curtain.
And she walks away in tears.
Hes not coming and now shes certain.
Such sweet misery all these years.
