lyrics

Sorrow's a String
Lisa Bastoni and Sean Staples
(c)(P) 2021 Sweet Ondine Music (BMI)/Wesley Park Music (BMI)

I drove by the house even though I know better
It still looks the same as when you were there
They cut down some trees but the barn is still standing
There’s a light inside somewhere about to turn on

When I cry my sorrow’s a string
I want to love you as long as I can
I would fly
If I had wings
How I wish I could see you again

I can still hear your footsteps running down the stairway
I can still see your smile as you open the door
A new radio tower has gone up in the distance
But the backyard birds still whistle your songs

When I cry my sorrow’s a string
I want to love you as long as I can
I would fly
If I had wings
How I wish I could see you again

The neighbor’s car slows when he sees me
It’s probably time for me to go home
Every once in awhile I stop to remember
It’s not the place that I miss, after all

When I cry my sorrow’s a string
I want to love you as long as I can
I would fly
If I had wings
How I wish I could see you again
