Lyrics
It's a sadness so deep the sun seems black
And you don't have to try to keep the tears back
No you don't have to try to keep the tears back
'Cause you couldn't cry if you wanted to
You couldn't cry if you wanted to
You couldn't cry if you wanted to
You couldn't cry if you wanted to
Even your thoughts are dust
Even your thoughts are dust
Even your thoughts are dust
Even your thoughts are dust
So you stare at the ceiling
And wish the world would mend
And try to recall some better feeling
To no good end
And try to recall some better feeling
To no good end
But even your thoughts are dust
Even your thoughts are dust
Even your thoughts are dust
Even your thoughts are dust
It's a sadness so deep the sun seems black
No you don't have to try to keep the tears back
No you don't have to try to keep the tears back
'Cause you couldn't cry if you wanted to
You couldn't cry if you wanted to
You couldn't cry if you wanted to
You couldn't cry if you wanted to
Even your thoughts are dust
Even your thoughts are dust
Even your thoughts are dust
Even your thoughts are dust
Even your thoughts are dust
Even your thoughts are dust
Even your thoughts are dust
Even your thoughts are dust
