lyrics
Sorrow is invading her
Sorrow is concaving her
She's falling so hard Into herself
Her eyes are quiet, she doesn't seek help
Who would've known
She would end up this way
"Miss joy and love" is falling now
She'd like to stop, but who knows how
And its time we said goodbye
And its time that she said hello
To the only love she's ever known
Up on her wrought iron perch
Wherever he is, is her church
She once found her church on a mountainside
She once found it sliding down a waterfall slide
Now she's just too tired to search
And she thinks it might be time to go
To the only love she's ever known
To laugh... To love....To cry
This is the cycle that we call life
To laugh... To love....To cry
Just doesn't seem so tough
Just doesn't seem like enough
High up above the crowd
She's flying solo now
She's sitting alone among her cigarette butts
A lifetime of promises ends in so what...
She's waving us goodbye
And she's waving him hello
He's the only love she's ever known
To laugh... To love....To cry
This is the cycle that we call life
To laugh... To love....To cry
Just doesn't seem so tough
Just doesn't seem like enough
Sorrow is concaving her
She's falling so hard Into herself
Her eyes are quiet, she doesn't seek help
Who would've known
She would end up this way
"Miss joy and love" is falling now
She'd like to stop, but who knows how
And its time we said goodbye
And its time that she said hello
To the only love she's ever known
Up on her wrought iron perch
Wherever he is, is her church
She once found her church on a mountainside
She once found it sliding down a waterfall slide
Now she's just too tired to search
And she thinks it might be time to go
To the only love she's ever known
To laugh... To love....To cry
This is the cycle that we call life
To laugh... To love....To cry
Just doesn't seem so tough
Just doesn't seem like enough
High up above the crowd
She's flying solo now
She's sitting alone among her cigarette butts
A lifetime of promises ends in so what...
She's waving us goodbye
And she's waving him hello
He's the only love she's ever known
To laugh... To love....To cry
This is the cycle that we call life
To laugh... To love....To cry
Just doesn't seem so tough
Just doesn't seem like enough
