Hugh Coltman Ballad Of The Sad Young Man Lyrics

Sing a song of sad young man
Glasses full of rye
All the news is bad again
Kiss your dreams goodbye

All the sad young men
Sitting in the bars
Knowing neon light
Missing all the stars

All the sad young men
Drifting through the town
Drinking up the night
Trying not to drown

All the sad young men
They're singing in the cold
Trying to forget
That they're growing old

All the sad young men
Just choking on their worth
Trying to be brave
Running from the truth

Autumm turns the leaves to gold Slowly dies the heart
Sad young men are growing old
Thats the sadest part

All the sad young men
Seek a certain smile
Someone they can hold for a little while
Tired little girl she does the best she can
Trying to be gay for her sad young man

While while the grimy moon
Watches from above
All the sad young men
Play of making love

Misbegotten moon
Shine for sad young men
Let your gentle light
Guide them home tonight
All the sad young men
