Sadness

[Verse 1]
She stands upon the threshold now,
Her head bowed low, she makes no sound,
There Sadness stands with weary brow,
With shards of years left on the ground.

[Pre-Chorus]
Sadness, Sadness—I feel no grief
For those who let their joy decay,
Sadness, Sadness—hold this belief:
Some things were never meant to stay.

[Chorus]
Sadness, Sadness, lift your veil,
And smile at me like days of old,
Let’s step beyond this fading trail,
And let the past in lines unfold.

[Verse 2]
Now Sadness bears a heavy weight,
A treasure chest of things you knew,
A sip of longing, a twist of fate,
It’s only Sadness passing through.

[Verse 3]
She holds a letter, sealed tight,
With just a few lines, sharp and cold,
Where hidden love still burns so bright,
And endless, heavy chains unfold.

[Chorus]
Sadness, Sadness, lift your veil,
And smile at me like days of old,
Let’s step beyond this fading trail,
And let the past in lines unfold.

[Bridge]
She comes disguised in beauty's light,
With a gentle soul, so pure and deep,
But owls escort her through the night,
As guard over the dark they keep.

Yet Sadness only starts to laugh,
And hides your name without a trace,
She points along a distant path,
Where setting sun just fade away.

[Chorus]
Sadness, Sadness, lift your veil,
And smile at me like days of old.
Let’s step beyond this fading trail,
And let the past in lines unfold.
