Lyrics

[00:02.00] Jane Monheit - Ballad Of The Sad Young Men
[00:03.00]
[00:06.45] Sing a song of sad young men
[00:13.78] Glasses full of rye
[00:20.30] All the news is bad again
[00:25.44] Kiss your dreams Goodbye
[00:31.02]
[00:32.43] All the sad young men
[00:38.52] Sitting in the bars
[00:44.65] Drinking up the night
[00:50.56] Missing all the stars
[00:54.89]
[00:56.36] All the sad young men
[01:00.39] Drifting through the town
[01:07.66] Drinking up the night
[01:13.62] Trying not to drown
[01:19.01]
[01:22.32] All the sad young men
[01:28.60] Singing in the cold
[01:34.81] Trying to forget
[01:40.20] That they are growing old
[01:45.99]
[01:47.23] All the sad young men
[01:51.41] Choking on their youth
[01:57.92] Trying to be brave
[02:04.00] Running from the truth
[02:10.36]
[03:23.90] Autumm turns
[03:26.51] The leaves to gold
[03:30.08] Slowly dies the heart
[03:36.35] Sad young men
[03:38.71] Are growing old
[03:42.60] That's the cruelest part
[03:48.77]
[03:49.61] All the sad young men
[03:55.09] Seek a certain smile
[04:01.09] Someone they can hold
[04:06.91] For just a little while
[04:10.73]
[04:12.09] Tired little girl
[04:17.40] She does the best that she can
[04:23.99] Trying to be gay
[04:30.19] For a sad young man
[04:36.87]
[04:38.69] While a grimy moon
[04:44.92] Blossoms up above
[04:51.42] All the sad young men
[04:57.06] They play at making love
[05:01.86]
[05:03.00] Misbegotten moon
[05:06.93] Shine for sad young men
[05:14.68] May your gentle light
[05:21.09] Guide them home again
[05:27.67] All the sad young men
[05:44.06]
