So Sad

So Sad I waited all that morning to hear her say I love you So sure I was so certain, it was left unspoken My heart, it was breaking, she turned back the curtain She said nothing when she left me, she left me so heartbroken and So sad so sad So sad so sad Yes I waited all that mornin' to hear her say I love you In the mornin' light she glistened like a ruby in a stickpin Then she whispered something into the wet red-lettered window She said nothing she left me so heartbroken I was so sad so sad So sad so sad Shortys in the poolroom Billys in the chute Jack is at the track with some old lady with some loot Willie sits and wonders at the words he cannot rhyme I am not in prison I am only doin' time And Blue Eyes died in Vegas when they blew away the Sands And Elvis died in Memphis, boys, they nailed him in one hand Haley died in Corpus Christi, died without a dime I am dead in Tennessee, they buried me alive And I am so sad so sad, so sad The best I had so sad Its what I have So sad so sad Yes I waited all that morning and so many mornings after So many lonely hours staring at the rafters Until I would close my eyes and feel you next to me But with the sun so sure to come will go my sweetest sleep And I am so sad so sad So sad, so sad
