She said, "Sunshine will haunt you
And blue sky will taunt you
And beauty will court you with lies"

She said, "Autumn will bore you
And spring time will ignore you
And the cold wind will warm you at night"

And she asked me what kind of creature was I
That I harbored no rain in my eyes

Tell me why
Your cheeks are drier than mine
Are you too fragile to cry?

She said, "Laughter will hurt you
And children will disturb you
And dirges will serve you with light"

And she said, "By the time
That you open your eyes
There will not be a shoulder in sight"

Tell mе why
Your cheeks are drier than mine
Arе you too humble to cry?
She said, "Sunshine will haunt you
And blue sky will taunt you
And beauty will court you with lies

And the next time you're bent
On a violent end
Don't take me along for the ride"

Tell me why
Your cheeks are drier than mine
Are you too frightened to cry?
