Hey Sad Sack Lyrics

[00:16.13] Hey Sad Sack
[00:19.62] I understand you got your troubles back
[00:28.25] I guess you knew just what to look for
[00:33.36] I mean I never would have recognized them
[00:38.72] If they'd come around my door
[00:43.05] Down in the mouth
[00:46.13] I heard you say your good times just flew south
[00:54.07] Isn't it amazing how they seem to come and go?
[01:01.34] You know I think it comes from reaping more
[01:05.47] Than you can sow
[01:12.95] But isn't it strange
[01:14.55] The the flowers change and rearrange
[01:19.97] While clouds of gray all look the same?
[01:27.28] It's hard to feel the sun shine
[01:30.67] When you're waiting for the rain
[01:35.72] It's hard to see the love around
[01:38.53] When you're looking for the pain
[01:42.45] Oh poor forlorn again
[01:45.75] Ain't you heard the word about being born again?
[01:53.26] You always greet the good news with a frown
[02:00.24] What a shame
[02:02.33] The news is up and you are such a down
[02:26.56] Up in the air
[02:29.81] I bet you never meant to leave it there
[02:37.65] All you ever wanted was an answer to your poem
[02:43.37] Well, if you're looking for the happy ending
[02:48.89] There's only one way home
[03:41.29]
