The Sad Girl from Babylon Lyrics

She was sad for the world

And it always

Seemed like nothing could hear her prayer

There's no time to think selfishly

We can't turn back now

Her tears could flood the world

If she let them fall for what they were

Tidal waves of love

And the preacher shouts

Holy water is the cure

Preacher shouting holy water is the cure

But it's never been the cure

Oh no

And she cried her eyes out

Every night

Cause she felt like life

Had passed her by

And she cried her eyes out

Every night

Cause she felt like life

Had passed her by

And she fell in love

With the sound of the world falling apart

Each pillar of Babylon

Seemed like it always was

More than jsut a broken heart

With a homesickness for a place

That I can't even begin to describe

Like a broken record repeating itself

And there's always a lonliness

Floating about in the air

Dragging ya down

Every year around the end of January

It took a long time

But there's still a long while

Yet in this life

Oh but she still believed

Deep in her heart

That there was purpose in all of the stars

And it got her through

Ever broken night

every wishful lie

And it plays like a broken record in my mind

it plays kinda scratchy but it still sound fine

Cause at least it aint silent in my mind

And she cried her eyes out

Every night

Cause she felt like life

Had passed her by

And she cried her eyes out

Every night

Cause she felt like life

Had passed her by

And she cried her eyes out

Every night

Cause she felt like life

Had passed her by

And she cried her eyes out

Every night

Cause she felt like life

Had passed her by
