A Sorry Tearful Joke Lyrics

It was cold at night, my final sight

As I opened up the door

I recalled her there, sat in the chair

Her eyes, set stone on the floor

What a fool I was, to ever think

This could be the night

The forsaken place, I fell from grace

Our dear, what a beautiful sight

And as the days grew hard, in Poulters Yard

I went away for the work

And she wept the night, our sweetest died

Hell had sought out my hurt

What a fool I was, to ever think

That Demons ever let go

And she cursed me then, as other men

Laid stone, and solid a home

By this fireplace, a cold cold space

Long since heat ever warmed

I still hear their cries and joyous sighs

Released to Heaven no more

What a fool I was, to ever think

That I could escape this fate

I was lost again, like so many men

And now I'm going away

I've been found again, a wanting man

And now i'm going away
