Don't cry for me, lover
Don't shed a tear
Let your laughter ring out
I can hear it in my ears

Your love - the ocean
I went for a swim
Tried to build a boat
But I still drowned in it

You see, lover,
Sorrow follows me around
It picks me up and it holds me down
It follows me from town to town
It was there even when you were around
But I try never to make a sound

My brothers, my brothers,
How I miss your soul
I could feel your tragedy
I could feel it in my bones

My brothers, my brothers!
How I miss your soul
I could feel your tragedy
I could feel it years ago, years ago

You see, lover,
Sorrow follows me around
And it picks me up and it holds me down
And it follows me from town to town
And it was there even when you were around
But I try never to make a sound

Sweet
Sweet
Sweet sorrow, come take me home
Come take me home
Come take me, sweet
