Sad Over You (Just Like the Demo Mix)

Sad Over You

I look around. I wonder why
The flames of war still burn up the sky.
Kids in fear are left to die.
No one hears their mothers cry.

I know that I should not be sad.
I should be glad my life's not bad.
When I'm down, when I'm blue...
I'm only sad over you.

Now feel the rain. Feel the chill
Batter down this lover's will.
I'd rather see it hiding all my tears
Than rinsing all my blood and wasted years.

We look around to find a pearl,
We run and hide when the stones are hurled.
The pain of hate, it fills the world;
But I'll take the pain of loving you, girl.

I'll take the miserable nights alone,
Your sad good-byes on the telephone.
I can say all these things, even today;
Though you said to me, "Won't you please go away?"
I could fall on the job, be writhing in pain;
Though you don't need my love

I still say...

Your name...

When nations fall apart,
Helps me stand with love and strength of heart.
Purses close tight.
Gold turns to dust.
To your tears, to your sadness

I'll answer...

I must...

I look around. I wonder why
The flames of war still burn up the sky.
Kids in fear are left to die.
No one hears their mothers cry.

I know that I should not be sad.
I should be glad my life's not bad.
When I'm down, when I'm blue...
I'm only sad over you.

When I'm down,

When I'm blue...

I'm only sad...

Over you...
