I Am In Mourning

Full of sorrow I am in mourning Early tomorrow Morning, darling Before the roosters Commence to sing Before the sisters Start crying Before the brothers Start screaming Before the bells start Wailing and ringing Before my poor heart Loses strength like a spring That can no longer carry On its shoulder the weight Of a world in a sorry Mood. I'm alone and desperate I'm sad. I won't see you again I won't be able to smell you again Touch and play with you again Stare at you and love you again. Now, you're gone With the wind like a song With a monotonous tone Something is wrong Now, you're done You are very dead I feel very bad I feel utterly sad There's no more fun I'm mad. I won't hear from you again I won't be able to laugh with you again Sit on you and cry with you again Kiss you and love you again.
