Robert Seer - The Sorry Song Lyrics

She shows the mirror someone thin
She turns around and says goodbye to my old friend
Bows her head and feels the welcoming of ends
Until we meet again, somewhere along the road and then
In a moment's time she's gone for far too long
Free to chase the wind and not look back again
Then she's home all alone among the crowd
The fever burns and dreams collide
An archipelago where stolen ships reside
Cast ashore with only rations for one night
The fight again, somehow she always wins
But in a moment's time she's breaking on the shore
Caught between the tides held tightly to the moor
Then all the love of home becomes a shroud
The story slows and comes apart
Flights of fancy broken hearts
Time is wild and though she knows
How every single story goes and grows
She shows the mirror someone new
The dawn is nigh again with so much more to do
She holds her candle high and dries her tired eyes
Until the chill is gone, somehow it all seems wrong
But in a moment's time the skies will all turn blue
'Till someone cries aloud I can't live without you
The broken wings will mend the sorry song
