Текст пісні
I went looking for a song today
My fingers wanted a tune to play
A tune to hang a little story on
And make a sad song
I sat staring at the black and white
Man, I tell you I was up all night
Looking for a sweet melody
To make a beautiful sad song
About a boy
Had his heart broke
By a beautiful girl
Met a soldier
Who went and told her
That he loved her
So she married him
So the poor boy cried
Ran to hide inside his room all day
Where he picked up his guitar
And made a beautiful sad song
Later on
Same boy
Met another beautiful girl
Serenaded her
With his sad song
Wasn't long before
She fell in love with him
They were happy for a while
He made her smile when the clouds were grey
Love felt like a jolly holiday in the sunshine
Came the January rain
He felt a restless pain inside
Made him want to run away and hide
He told the beautiful girl and she cried
He knew he had to run away
To find another beautiful sad song
